limited edition oreo flavors | beforeyoutakeabite

Whoa Wednesday! After a certain former teammate of mine declared that she “does not like Oreos,” I insisted that she come down to my desk because I could almost guarantee that out of the 13 limited edition flavors I have here, she would like at least one. She took a bite of the golden birthday cake creme filled ones…and walked away with 5. At 10 in the morning to boot! BUT, I said, HOLD THE PHONE! What makes you happy?!?!? And she emphatically said, “Moving into a one-bedroom apartment in 3 days!” All the women, independent, throw your hands up at me….

Other happiness quotes from today include:
“Finishing painting my bedroom and mapping out the layout of my room.”

“Golden Pecan day and our Wednesday tradition.” Background – every Wednesday, two former teammates and I meet up to get the coffee flavor of the day (Golden Pecan, duh) across the street at Baci.

I emailed the New Jerseyite today because we are getting very impatient waiting for her to mail us the lemon twist Oreos. Radio Silence.

In other news, one of my teammates has her parents on the lookout for limited edition flavors in Paris and her sister on the lookout for limited edition flavors in Spain. Holla!

Again, normally not one to be excited about Monday mornings BUT I received an email over the weekend from a colleague who found a flavor we have not yet tried and she is bringing it in to the office today! Bart Scott and I could not wait! Second week in a row that Mondays have been awesome. My colleague will be brining the mystery Oreos by around 2pm central time. I also brought in what I refer to as the “opposite Oreos.” The golden cookie with the chocolate creme filling. Taste tests will be taking place when the mystery Oreos arrive around 2pm. Stay tuned..

Raspberry Fudge Creme Oreos was the mystery flavor

“The raspberry smell is more potent than the taste.” And that was the general consensus. They were not amazing. We will still eat them. I mean, they ARE Oreos afterall. But we all agreed that the birthday cake creme filled golden Oreos and the mint Oreos are still the best limited edition flavors to date. Don’t fret peanut butter creme filled Oreo, you are up there too.

Before I took at bite, I declared that I am happy that the amazing high schoolers that I trained with for three months in preparation for the Chicago Rock n’ Roll half marathon all crossed the finished line yesterday. Big shout-out to Chicago Area Runners Association Road Scholars and their hard work and dedication. I hope they believe in themselves every day. I do.
