You can enjoy the taste of deep-fried Oreos without even having to leave the cookie aisle anymore. Welcome to the future.

The deep-fried Oreo started as a state fair and carnival favourite, where the classic sandwich cookie gets dipped in batter and dropped into hot oil until the outside turns warm and crisp, the wafer softens, and the creme inside gets deliciously melty. What started as one of those "let's see what happens if we fry it" fair-food experiments has become one of the most recognizable carnival snacks around.

If we're being honest, we've been on the deep-fried Oreo wagon since the beginning, because deep-frying has a pretty impressive ability to make people look at an already perfectly good food and say, "Yeah, but what if we put it in batter?"

Oreo's limited-edition Deep Fried flavour takes inspiration from that whole experience and brings it straight to the cookie aisle. Instead of needing a deep fryer, a state fair, and some questionable decision-making (doing eight rounds of the Zipper in a row? Not the brightest idea), you get the nostalgic idea of a warm, rich, battered Oreo translated into a regular sandwich cookie.
