Root Beer Float Oreos


   Well, it would appear the folks at Oreo have done it again. Churning out weird and wacky flavors, they seem to have struck gold on a real gem. Root Beer Float Oreos. At first it seems like a strange flavor, but we have faith in these.
  
   While we haven't had the opportunity to try them, a couple of things point to these being good. First, the composition of the Oreo itself. Simply put, it's a golden Oreo, with what appears to be half root beer and half ice cream filling. Unlike the similar Banana Split Oreos, we have faith for these because neither flavor will overwhelm the other.

   Secondly, the nostalgia. As far as taste goes this shouldn't be a deciding factor, yet it still is an important part. They will most likely evoke the feel of the 50's and 60's, where soda parlors were all the rage. Again, the nostalgia does nothing to help the taste, any time you can bite into food and it transports you somewhere else, it's guaranteed to be good.

  In the end, we can't write a tell-all article on these, because we haven't had a chance to try them. Root beer flavored things usually suck, or they're super good. It's a hit or miss kind of thing. For many, it will bring a sense of childhood innocence, and for others it will do nothing for them. either way you have to pat Nabisco on the back for breaking the mold and trying new things.
