Introduction: A Brief History of the Oreo

Oreo cookies have been delighting (and occasionally confusing) snackers for over a century. Born in 1912 as an imitator of the Hydrox cookie, the Oreo soon outshined its rival to become “milk’s favorite cookie.” The classic design – two chocolate wafers hugging a sweet vanilla creme – is instantly recognizable and beloved worldwide (mashed.com, thoughtco.com). Over the years, Oreo’s owner Nabisco (now part of Mondelez International) has churned out a wild array of flavors and forms, from the simple Double Stuf (introduced in 1974 with twice the filling) to region-specific curiosities. Initially just a biscuit for purists, Oreo embraced innovation in the 21st century, pumping out limited editions and international exclusives at a head-spinning pace. Today, there’s an Oreo for nearly every taste – and we’re here for all of them.

In this comprehensive (and slightly unhinged) roundup, we’ll rank every known Oreo flavor ever released worldwide, from the dubious duds to the creme de la creme. Buckle up and pour a tall glass of milk – we start at the bottom of the cookie jar with the most questionable creations and work our way up to the greatest Oreo of all time. (Note: Extra-thick “Stuf” varieties and size variations aren’t treated as separate flavors here – we’re focusing on flavor differences, not how much creme you can cram in one cookie.)

The Definitive Oreo Flavor Ranking (Worst to Best)

From gag-worthy gimmicks to glorious goodies, here’s the ultimate Oreo flavor countdown based on fan reactions, reviews, and a heaping spoonful of humor.

Swedish Fish Oreo (Limited Edition 2016)
Swedish Fish Oreo packaging, a bright warning label in retrospect. This Frankenstein mashup of Oreo and the famous gummy candy was a universally reviled misfire. Released as a test-run exclusive at Kroger stores, the cookie featured a bright red “Swedish Fish”-flavored creme that nobody asked for. Social media’s response was a resounding “NO! WHY?!”, and taste-testers were horrified by the cherry cough-syrup aftertaste (businessinsider.com). One reviewer went so far as to call it an “unholy melding” and possibly the most offensive Oreo flavor yet (businessinsider.com). In short: just because you can stuff a Swedish Fish into an Oreo, doesn’t mean you should. (Limited run, vanished quickly — and good riddance.)
Hot Chicken Wing Oreo (China, 2018) – When Oreo’s parent company announced this “big and bold” flavor in China alongside Wasabi Oreos, many Western fans thought it was a prank (people.com). It’s real – and it’s basically a buffalo wing-flavored creme (orange in color) between chocolate cookies. The result? A confusing clash of sweet, cocoa, and spicy chicken seasoning that left taste buds traumatized. Brave souls who tried it reported a greasy, lingering aftertaste of artificial chicken that “haunted” them (pinterest.com). This cookie is the edible equivalent of a truth-or-dare challenge – mostly dare. (International exclusive – and honestly, you’re not missing out.)
Wasabi Oreo (China, 2018) – Released in tandem with the Hot Chicken Wing flavor, this was Oreo’s attempt to prove that “cookies don’t have to be sweet.” The Wasabi Oreo features a shocking green creme that delivers a mild horseradish-like punch...mixed with chocolate. Bizarre? Absolutely. Some tasters found the sweet-nosed wasabi burn “bizarrely addictive” (chefstandards.com), but most couldn’t get past the novelty. The wasabi’s sharp, sinus-tingling heat just doesn’t marry well with cocoa – the flavors clash like mortal enemies. If you love wasabi peas and Oreos separately, do yourself a favor and keep it that way. (Another China-only experiment likely best left in the lab.)
Fruit Punch Oreo (Limited Edition 2014) – Picture the Kool-Aid Man busting through a wall yelling “Oh Yeah!” – into your cookie. That’s basically what happened here (delish.com). This summer release had golden Oreo wafers with lurid pink fruit-punch-flavored creme. The smell was like a candy aisle in overdrive, and the taste was as if you dunked an Oreo in a kid’s fruit drink mix. Most of us were left scratching our heads (and our tongues) at this combo (delish.com). It’s sickly sweet, tropical, and completely at odds with the cookie. A few folks with extreme sweet tooths didn’t mind it, but for many, one bite was enough to say “fruit punch belongs in a glass, not an Oreo.” (Limited edition; long gone and not particularly missed.)
Sour Patch Kids Oreo (Limited Edition 2024) – In one of the strangest candy-cookie collaborations, Oreo teamed up with Sour Patch Kids to create a cookie that is sweet, then sour…then gone from shelves in a flash. This recent release featured a red and blue swirled creme infused with Sour Patch Kids flavor between chocolate wafers. If your taste buds aren’t confused yet, they will be. Imagine a tart, berry-citrus tang fighting with chocolate – it’s as jarring as it sounds. Reactions ranged from “surprisingly not as terrible as I expected” to “why would they do this to an Oreo?” The creme is tangy and fruity (some say it evokes the candy well), but the overall experience lands firmly in the “one and done” category. (At least there were no actual gummy bits inside!) (Limited edition – a curiosity for brave palates, but unlikely to become a classic.)
Root Beer Float Oreo (Limited Edition 2014) – This cookie was meant to mimic a classic summer float, with half vanilla creme and half root-beer-flavored creme sandwiched in Golden Oreo wafers. Sounds fun, right? Unfortunately, the execution was more “flat soda” than creamy float. The root beer creme had a potent artificial sassafras flavor that overwhelmed the cookie. One insider noted it tasted “like the fizzy drink’s syrupy essence got weirdly concentrated”. Oreo has released several dubious soda-inspired varieties over the years (including a vaguely lime-ish Cherry Cola Oreo with popping candy), but the Root Beer Float is often cited as one of the worst (businessinsider.com). Unless you really adore root beer barrel candies in your desserts, this was likely a pour-out rather than a pour-it-again. (Limited edition; fizzled out quickly.)
Limeade Oreo (Limited Edition 2014) – Another entry from Oreo’s 2014 summer flavor spree, the Limeade Oreo paired a neon green lime-flavored creme with two Golden cookies. If that sounds odd...well, it was. The creme tasted like lime sherbet crossed with floor cleaner (just a hint of chemical aftertaste) – not exactly a dream with a butter vanilla cookie. Snack reviewers back in the day ranked this low, noting the lime flavor was too sharp and fake, creating a combo that “does not work at all with the cookie”(pinterest.com.) It was more palatable if you like citrus candies, but overall this zesty experiment left many sour on fruit-flavored Oreos for a while. (Limited edition; quickly discontinued.)
Hot & Spicy Cinnamon Oreo (Limited Edition 2018) – Released around Valentine’s Day, this Oreo was supposed to channel the heat of Red Hots candy hearts. It featured a cinnamon-flavored red creme inside the classic chocolate wafers. Reactions were heated in all the wrong ways. Fans of cinnamon candy found it passable – the creme does deliver that Big Red gum / Red Hot cinnamon punch – but many others felt that the spicy-hot cinnamon clashed with the chocolate cookie as if they were on two different dates. “Mint and chocolate? Sure. Cinnamon fireball and chocolate? Not so much.” It didn’t help that the creme was an unsettling shade of red. This Oreo had a polarizing reception: either you kinda liked the quirky spice, or you absolutely hated it. In any case, it was a brief fling, and Oreo went back to more traditional cinnamon (like snickerdoodle) later. (Limited edition; a one-time fling in the Oreo dating game.)
Cotton Candy Oreo (Limited Edition 2015) – Cue the carnival music: this limited run brought a two-tone pastel pink and blue “cotton candy” flavored filling to Golden Oreos. Kids were understandably thrilled – it’s like a fair treat in cookie form – but adults were less enamored. The creme was extremely sweet and sugary, just like real cotton candy, with a hint of artificial vanilla-blue-raspberry vibe (chefstandards.com). Sandwiched inside the vanilla cookies, it became a cloying sugar bomb for many. On the plus side, the aroma was spot-on cotton candy, and it certainly looked festive. Taste-wise, you really have to love cotton candy to enjoy these because subtle they were not. One could argue these belong higher for executing the flavor they promised, but since cotton candy itself is divisive, we’re ranking it among the weaker offerings. (My inner five-year-old was delighted; my adult self got a cavity just thinking about it.) (Limited edition; fun while it lasted, but not a flavor with lasting appeal.)
Candy Corn Oreo (Limited Edition 2012 & 2013) – One of Oreo’s earliest forays into wild flavors, this Halloween-themed cookie featured half-yellow, half-orange creme meant to taste like candy corn. The cookies were Golden Oreos, and the overall flavor was basically extra-sweet vanilla with a hint of honey – more pleasant than actual candy corn, to some relief (chefstandards.com). In fact, depending on who you ask, these were either surprisingly decent or utterly unnecessary. Candy corn lovers found them delightful (one of those “tastes like candy corn, which I already enjoy” situations), while candy corn haters…well, you can guess. “Loved by some, loathed by others” is the verdict (chefstandards.com). The creme leaned more on the frosting-like vanilla side than the waxy corn syrup side of candy corn, which was a smart move. Still, it’s incredibly sweet with no nuance – you won’t want more than a couple at a time. A solid “meh” in the grand scheme. (Seasonal release; occasionally returns for Halloween to divide households anew.)
Peeps Oreo (Limited Edition 2017) – Bright pink Peeps Oreo – warning: may cause technicolor tongue. The idea: take the marshmallowy sweetness of Peeps (those neon sugar-coated Easter chicks) and cram it into an Oreo. The result: a Golden Oreo with alarming hot pink marshmallow creme that tasted like pure spun sugar and vanilla. Kids went nuts for it; adults experienced a mix of nostalgia and terror. The flavor was actually not bad if you like marshmallow – very sweet but marshmallowy indeed. The side effects, however, became internet legend. This Oreo was so neon, it turned tongues and saliva bright pink – even after brushing! (teenvogue.com) (Yes, and even, uh, other things. Folks on social media reported some colorful bathroom surprises, thanks to the food dye (teenvogue.com, teenvogue.com.)) As a cookie, it was a fun novelty – “Easter in cookie form,” as one review put it (chefstandards.com). But unless you enjoy looking like you drank a gallon of pink highlighter fluid, one or two of these were plenty. (Spring limited edition; memorable for its Day-Glo impression if not enduring flavor greatness.)
Cherry Cola Oreo (Limited Edition 2018) – As part of Oreo’s #MyOreoCreation contest, we got this inventive flavor: a cola-flavored creme (with cherry and a hint of cola spice) dotted with red popping candy, sandwiched in chocolate cookies. Biting into it was truly a novel experience – the creme fizzed and crackled in your mouth like a fizzy soda thanks to the Pop Rocks-like candy (chefstandards.com). The taste was very cherry-cola: sweet, tangy, and almost like a flat soda syrup. It even smelled like a 1950s soda fountain (chefstandards.com). Fun? Definitely. Delicious? Ehhh, debateable. Many people said it was enjoyable to try (one cookie) for the gimmick, but not something you’d crave regularly. The popping sensation overshadowed the fact that, at heart, this was a chocolate cookie with a candy flavor – a combination you don’t exactly dream about. Points for creativity, though! (Limited edition contest winner; a novelty that lives on in our fizzy memories.)
Firework Oreo (Limited Edition 2017) – If Cherry Cola Oreos were too weird, how about essentially a regular Oreo with popping candy mixed into the creme? That’s exactly what the Firework Oreo was: classic chocolate Oreo cookies with the standard vanilla creme, but studded with blue and red “exploding” candy bits. Pop Rocks + Oreo – and honestly, it was kind of a blast (pun intended). The flavor was basically the same as a normal Oreo (maybe slightly less creme to accommodate the candy bits), so no complaints there (chefstandards.com). The novelty comes from the tiny fireworks going off as you chew – it felt like a Fourth of July party in your mouth (chefstandards.com). Kids and the young-at-heart loved it; some party-poopers called it gimmicky. As a flavor, we can’t rank it too high because nothing new happened taste-wise. But as a fun limited cookie, it did exactly what it set out to do. Dunking these in milk was…interesting (snap, crackle, pop!). (Limited edition; essentially an Oreo with a built-in celebration.)
Mystery Oreo (2017 Fruity Pebbles) – In 2017, Oreo launched a contest with a mystery flavor in a plain package, daring fans to guess the flavor for a prize. The mystery creme turned out to be Fruity Pebbles cereal flavor (delish.com), which savvy Oreo-eaters quickly suspected. Why? Because Oreo had actually done a very similar limited flavor before – Fruity Crisp Oreo in 2016 – that tasted just like Fruity Pebbles. So this “mystery” was more of a déjà vu. How was the cookie? Honestly, pretty tasty if you like fruity cereal. The creme was strongly Fruity Pebble-esque (that citrusy berry cereal flavor) which paired oddly well enough with the chocolate cookie – like when your cocoa cereal accidentally mixes with your fruity cereal in the same bowl. Some thought it tasted like Froot Loops milk, others said Trix yogurt, but overall it wasn’t half bad (delish.com). It was fairly sweet and a little artificial, but in a nostalgic Saturday-cartoon kind of way. We rank it here in the middle because while it was fun and decent, it’s not an everyday Oreo – it’s more of a “oh, that’s interesting” flavor. (Limited edition; mystery solved – it was basically a cereal Oreo in disguise.)
Love Oreo (Limited Edition 2019) – Another Valentine’s special, the Love Oreo came with cute messages on the chocolate wafers (“Dunk in Love” and such) and a “sweet and tangy” pink creme (en.wikipedia.org). What exactly is “sweet and tangy” flavor? Good question. Tasting it was like a mild berry or citrus cream cheese frosting vibe – not quite identifiable as any specific fruit. Some thought it was like a light raspberry flavor. It was a bit tart compared to a normal Oreo creme, which was actually a nice change, but also a little strange against chocolate. The overall effect was more subtle than, say, the in-your-face Fruit Punch Oreo, so it wasn’t abhorrent – just a bit underwhelming. It’s as if Oreo tried to create the flavor of “pink.” Not bad, not great, just ambiguously fruity-sweet. We appreciate the lovey-dovey concept and pretty color, but it didn’t leave us swooning. (Limited edition; a sweetheart that we only went on one date with.)
Cookie Dough Oreo (Limited Edition 2014) – The name alone had people very excited – who doesn’t want an Oreo that tastes like chocolate chip cookie dough? Sadly, this was a classic case of expectation vs. reality. The Cookie Dough Oreo used chocolate wafers (smart) and a tan-colored creme with tiny chocolatey chips. The problem: the creme mostly tasted like brown sugar and artificial butter, which some likened more to caramel or maple than true cookie dough (theimpulsivebuy.com). The little choco bits didn’t add much. Overall it was okay, but fell short of the decadent cookie dough experience we craved. Many people found it underwhelming, saying if they hadn’t seen the package they’d think it was some caramel or mocha flavor. It wasn’t gross by any means – just disappointing, given the promise. One reviewer summed it up: “Sounds like it should be amazing… but it’s just meh.” This flavor taught us that sometimes the hype is greater than the bite. (Limited edition; fans are still waiting for a true cookie dough revival that lives up to the dream.)
Chocolate Hazelnut Oreo (2018) – Essentially Oreo’s take on a Nutella flavor. This variety had a chocolate hazelnut-flavored creme inside the classic chocolate cookies. If that sounds redundant (chocolate on chocolate action), surprisingly it stood out enough. The creme definitely had that sweet, nutty Nutella-like taste (sans brand name), giving a dessert-y, almost Ferrero Rocher vibe. However, because the Oreo cookie itself is chocolate, the hazelnut had to fight to be noticed. Many who tried it said “it just tastes like a slightly nuttier regular Oreo.” That’s not a bad thing – regular Oreos are great – but as a distinct flavor, it didn’t wow most people. Fans of Nutella enjoyed these, but some were left wishing Oreo had used a Golden cookie to let the hazelnut shine more. Solid, not spectacular – a case of good but not memorable. (Internationally, Nutella-lovers likely appreciated it; in the US it was a limited flavor that came and went in 2018.)
Chocolate Marshmallow Oreo (2020) – This was a winter 2020 release, consisting of chocolate Oreo cookies with small marshmallow bits baked into them and a chocolate-marshmallow flavored creme. The idea was to give you a hot cocoa vibe. In practice, it tasted a lot like a regular chocolate Oreo that someone ever-so-slightly tweaked. The marshmallow bits in the cookie didn’t do much (maybe a tiny hint of chewy texture if you really pay attention), and the creme was basically chocolate with a bit of extra sweetness. If you’re a chocolate lover, you enjoyed these well enough – they were plenty chocolaty. But as an “exciting flavor,” it ranks low because it hardly strayed from the norm. Some tasters couldn’t even tell it was a different flavor until told. Still, you can’t really knock chocolate + marshmallow + cookie; it’s tasty, just not distinguishable. Think of it as Oreo wearing a limited-edition winter coat that looks almost like its usual coat. (Limited edition; cozy concept, mild execution.)
Dark Chocolate Oreo (2019) – Finally, an Oreo for those who always found the original too sweet. The Dark Chocolate Oreo features nearly-black cocoa wafers (the same as usual, actually) with a deep dark chocolate creme that’s less sugary than the standard filling. The creme is actually rich and fudgy, with a bittersweet edge (en.wikipedia.org). For chocoholics, this was a dream – essentially an Oreo that doubles down on the cocoa and lets the bitterness play with the sweet. Some people found it a bit one-note (all chocolate, no contrast of vanilla), and admittedly you lose that signature balance of the original. But others loved dunking these in milk and getting “brownie batter” vibes. We rank it in the middle because it’s a strong, solid flavor but also not as universally appealing – if you hand a Dark Chocolate Oreo to a kid expecting the usual, you might get a scrunched face. It’s more “adult” in taste. A quality addition to the lineup, but not an everyday go-to for everyone. (Originally limited but proved popular; has since become a recurring or permanent flavor in some markets.)
Pumpkin Spice Oreo (Seasonal) – Ah, the flavor that signals autumn’s arrival. First launched in 2014, Pumpkin Spice Oreos feature Golden cookies with a pumpkin spice-flavored creme (orange-colored, of course). These have become a seasonal staple, often returning in the fall much to the joy of PSL aficionados. The creme delivers on cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger – all the cozy spices (delish.com), with a sweet pumpkin-y undertone (think pumpkin pie filling-ish). Paired with the vanilla cookie, it’s actually nicely balanced and not overwhelming. Fans say dunking these in a pumpkin spice latte is peak basic bliss. Detractors (namely, pumpkin-spice skeptics) roll their eyes at them, but even some cynics admit they’re pretty tasty if you like a spiced cookie. They taste kind of like a pumpkin spice shortbread or like the smell of a fall candle – but in a good way! Oreo has brought these back multiple times, indicating they have a solid fanbase. We place them around the middle because while seasonal and situational, they do what they intend to do very well. (Seasonal release; popular in autumn – you might even find me hoarding a few packs for October cravings (chefstandards.com.))
Gingerbread Oreo (Seasonal) – Another seasonal offering, the Gingerbread Oreo typically appears during the holidays. Different years had slight variations, but generally it’s two Golden Oreo wafers with a gingerbread-spiced creme (sometimes with little sugar crystals). The creme tastes like a mild gingerbread frosting – notes of ginger, molasses, cinnamon – and combined with the vanilla-ish cookie, you get a lighter gingerbread flavor overall. They’re festive and pleasant, if not mind-blowing. People who wanted a strong, peppery ginger snap might be underwhelmed, but those who prefer a gentler gingerbread (more like the flavor of a gingerbread house kit icing) found these delightful. Dunking them in eggnog? Oh yes. They’re solid holiday cookies, and some folks rank them among the better limited Oreos because the spice is balanced. That said, gingerbread itself isn’t universally adored, so these are as good as your fondness for gingerbread. We like them, but we’ll save the top spots for the truly year-round winners. (Seasonal release; reliably shows up for the holidays and vanishes with Santa.)
Apple Pie Oreo (Limited Edition 2017) – Released as a Walmart exclusive in 2017, the Apple Pie Oreo was well-received by many who tried it. It had a graham-flavored cookie (similar to the S’mores Oreo base) and an apple pie flavored creme with notes of apple and cinnamon. Biting in, you got a surprisingly convincing apple pie ala mode vibe – the graham cookie emulated pie crust, and the creme had a fruity, cinnamon-apple taste with a bit of creaminess. It was sweet, of course, but most found it “shockingly good” for a packaged cookie trying to taste like pie. A few critics said it was a tad heavy on the cinnamon and artificial apple side, but overall this flavor avoided the pitfalls of, say, Fruit Punch Oreo, by pairing with a graham cookie that complemented it. Fans who miss this one describe it as one of Oreo’s best fruit-based flavors, with some lamenting that it hasn’t returned. It sits here on our list as a strong limited edition that proved Oreo can do a decent pie impersonation. (Limited edition; one of the better “dessert” flavored Oreos that we’d welcome back anytime.)
Waffles & Syrup Oreo (Limited Edition 2017) – Another breakfast-inspired experiment that turned out surprisingly well. This flavor, released through certain retailers, used a Golden Oreo with a maple-syrupy creme that even had a touch of butter flavor. Some versions had a dual-layer creme (white and light brown) to simulate that butter-and-syrup combo. The aroma when you opened the package was like a pancake house – sweet maple goodness (chefstandards.com). Taste-wise, they nailed the toasty waffle + maple syrup vibe: it was buttery, rich, and made your brain think of Sunday brunch. The cookie was quite sweet (no surprise), but the use of the vanilla cookie base and a hint of butter flavor kept it from being one-note maple. Many reviewers were impressed, saying their kitchen “smelled like pancakes” when they ate a few (chefstandards.com). A few folks found it too sweet to eat more than a couple, but hey, so are real waffles drowning in syrup. All in all, this was one of those oddball flavors that ended up a fan favorite. (Limited edition; shockingly cozy and delicious – proof that sometimes Oreo wins the breakfast battle.)
Caramel Apple Oreo (Limited Edition 2014) – Not to be confused with Apple Pie Oreo, the Caramel Apple Oreo was an earlier fall flavor that featured half green apple, half caramel flavored creme in a Golden Oreo. It looked like a cute little caramel apple cross-section. The taste? Decent, but a bit disjointed. The green apple side was tart and candy-like (some compared it to Jolly Rancher apple), and the caramel side was buttery-sweet. When eaten together, you did get a caramel apple flavor, surprisingly! But it also verged on too sweet and artificial, as both components were quite strong. It wasn’t a subtle harmony like Apple Pie Oreo; it was more of a loud duet. If you like caramel apples, you probably found these fun – they were a pretty good mimic of that flavor, which is an achievement. We rank them around here because while interesting, they aren’t something most people wanted year-round. Fun to try, but not as balanced or addictive as some of the better flavors above. (Limited edition; a novel fall treat that came and went quickly.)
Red Velvet Oreo (2015 Limited, then 2016–2020) – Now we’re getting into the pretty good stuff. Red Velvet Oreos debuted as a limited flavor but were so popular they stuck around for a while. They consist of reddish cocoa cookies (to mimic red velvet cake) and a cream cheese flavor creme – which is the real star. The creme is noticeably tangy and cream-cheesy, adding a new dimension beyond standard Oreo filling. Together, you get the effect of a red velvet cupcake in Oreo form: mildly chocolatey, with that slight cocoa tang, and a creamy, tangy sweet center (delish.comdelish.com). Many people loved these – some even say this is one of the best Oreos ever for how well it captured a beloved dessert. They’re rich without being over-the-top, and pair fantastically with milk (like cake and milk, yum). A few detractors found them too sweet or the creme cheese flavor too artificial, but those folks seem in the minority. Oreo eventually discontinued the flavor around 2020, causing much whining from fans. We place Red Velvet here as a strong offering that in another universe might crack the top 20, but hey, competition is stiff up there. (Formerly limited then permanent; now sadly discontinued. Many fans are pleading for its return.)
Birthday Cake Oreo (2012 Limited; now often available) – This flavor celebrates Oreo’s 100th birthday (back in 2012) and has since made reappearances. It’s essentially an Oreo (original chocolate cookies or sometimes the Golden version) with a “birthday cake” flavored creme – complete with rainbow sprinkles mixed in. What is birthday cake flavor? In this context, it’s that classic boxed vanilla cake + frosting taste with a hefty dose of sprinkles and nostalgia. The creme is extra sweet and has a bit of a frosting graininess (possibly from the sprinkles). Kids typically adore these – sprinkles! – and many adults enjoy them too, especially if you like frosting-heavy cake. They smell exactly like a tub of vanilla frosting in the best way (medium.com). Critics claim they can be too sweet (even for an Oreo) and a bit fake-tasting, but let’s be real: sometimes you just want a cookie that tastes like a birthday party. These aren’t an everyday treat for most, but they’re solidly liked. Plus, they practically beg to be dunked in milk (birthday cake and milk, a classic combo). We rank them here as a reliable fan favorite that’s festive, if not sophisticated. (Originally limited, now often in rotation; also spawned spin-offs like Birthday Cake Golden Oreos and fudge-dipped versions.)
Mint Oreo / Cool Mint Creme (Since 2000s) – A classic flavor that’s been around for years, Mint Oreos take the chocolate Oreo and fill it with a mint-flavored creme (colored light green in many regions). It’s basically like a Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie in Oreo form, and it’s darn good. The mint creme is cooling and sweet – think Andes mints or mint-chip ice cream vibes – and it pairs brilliantly with the chocolate wafers (chocolate and mint have long been BFFs). Fans of mint flavors rank these very high; some even say they prefer them to regular Oreos when they want something refreshing. Critics? Not many, except those who just don’t like mint desserts to begin with. One could argue this isn’t as novel as some wild flavors, but it’s a case of simple and effective. Mint Oreos have been consistently popular, often ranking near the top in public polls of favorite Oreo flavors (sporked.com). They also come in Double Stuf, Thins, etc. We’re giving Mint a relatively high-middle slot to acknowledge its enduring appeal. It’s not super exotic, but it is consistently delicious – the kind of flavor that converts non-Oreo eaters into Oreo fans. (Permanent flavor; widely loved, essentially the Oreo answer to a peppermint patty.)
Golden Oreo (vanilla cookie with vanilla creme, introduced 2004) – Let’s take a moment for the Golden Oreo, the alter ego of the classic chocolate Oreo. This isn’t a special edition flavor per se – it’s a permanent product line – but it is indeed a different flavor experience: vanilla on vanilla. Golden Oreos replace the cocoa wafers with lightly sweet, buttery golden wafers, while keeping the original white creme. The result is a cookie that’s akin to a vanilla sandwich biscuit. Some people absolutely love them, even more than the original, for their simple buttery sweetness. They’re less intense than the chocolate Oreo, which makes them easy to snack on by the sleeve. Others find them a tad plain (“where’s the chocolate?!”). But Golden Oreos have earned a spot in the pantheon; they’ve spawned their own sub-variants and hold their own in sales. They’re often the base for many limited flavors (because a neutral vanilla cookie can be a great canvas). In rankings, Golden Oreos usually land high – sometimes even top 5 – among fan favorites (parade.comsporked.com)– this cookie really channels a s’more. The graham cookies have a nice honey graham taste, the marshmallow creme is sweet and fluffy (well, as fluffy as Oreo creme can be), and the chocolate creme gives you that Hershey’s square kick. Together, you get a bit of each component in one bite, and it’s a harmonious blend (medium.com). Fans went nuts for S’mores Oreos when they debuted. They were popular enough to return a few years later, and many still cite them as one of the best limited flavors Oreo’s done. They’re not overly gimmicky – it’s a logical flavor that just works. Dunking them in milk can even mimic the melty chocolate and marshmallow effect (yum). If you love s’mores, these hit the spot without the sticky fingers. They’re ranked high because, simply put, they’re delicious and on-theme. Possibly the only complaint is that they’re not around all the time. (Limited releases; widely loved, one of the few flavors that lives up to the hype – truly giving you campfire feels.)
Carrot Cake Oreo (2019) – When this flavor was announced, some were skeptical – but Nabisco proved the doubters wrong. Carrot Cake Oreos consist of carrot cake-spiced cookies (yes, the cookies themselves have spices and carrot cake flavor) with a cream cheese frosting flavored creme. Biting into one is like a shortcut to carrot cake heaven. Warm cinnamon and nutmeg in the cookie? Check. Tangy cream cheese sweetness in the creme? Check (chefstandards.com). It tastes remarkably like a slice of carrot cake with frosting, and it impressed a lot of people. In fact, these were so well-received that they moved from limited edition to a permanent-ish status. Fans love that the cookie itself isn’t just a plain Oreo – they actually modified it to be carrot-cakey. The balance is spot-on: not too sweet, a little tang, a little spice. Even those who aren’t big on vegetable-themed desserts admitted these cookies are yummy. One staffer at a tasting reportedly had to hide the pack from herself to avoid devouring all (chefstandards.com). That’s high praise! We’re putting Carrot Cake Oreo near the top because it’s creative and downright tasty, a great example of Oreo successfully mimicking a classic dessert. (Originally limited, now often available; a new fan favorite that earns its place among the best.)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Oreo (2018) – Don’t confuse this with the older Reese’s Oreo (which had one side peanut butter creme, one side chocolate creme in a chocolate cookie). The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Oreo uses graham-flavored cookies with a half chocolate, half peanut butter creme. And it is phenomenal. The graham cracker cookies lend a toasty, pie-crust-like base that perfectly complements the Reese’s cup style filling. It genuinely tastes like a peanut butter pie with a chocolate drizzle, or a graham cracker topped with peanut butter and chocolate spread. This flavor won over many hearts and stomachs – it was so good it became a permanent flavor in Oreo’s lineup. Fans point out the balance of peanut butter and chocolate is just right, and the cookies being graham instead of the usual chocolate or golden was a genius stroke that sets this Oreo apart (harrisonpawprint.org). In some rankings, this flavor is near the very top (even the top for some aficionados). The only reason we don’t place it at #1 here is because, well, something’s gotta give and our top spot is reserved for a true icon. But make no mistake: Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Oreo is elite. It’s indulgent, rich, and if you like peanut butter at all, you could find yourself eating an alarming number of these in one sitting. (Permanent flavor; widely considered one of Oreo’s best executions – a peanut butter lover’s dream.)
Peanut Butter Oreo – A classic that has seen various forms (sometimes called Peanut Butter Creme Oreo). This isn’t the fancy Reese’s co-branded one, but the regular line Oreo with peanut butter flavored creme between the chocolate wafers. Essentially, Oreo meets a peanut butter cup. It’s a simple, brilliant combo: the salty, nutty sweetness of peanut butter creme against bittersweet chocolate cookies. Many people swear by these and even prefer them to actual peanut butter cups because, well, there’s a cookie involved (and cookies make everything better). The peanut butter creme isn’t straight-up peanut butter; it’s a bit sweeter and smoother, but still provides that roasted peanut taste. Dunking a PB Oreo in milk is chef’s kiss. It’s no surprise that in numerous flavor rankings, Peanut Butter Oreos land in the top three (parade.com). They’ve been around for years and remain popular – a testament to how well Oreo nailed this combination. Unless you have a peanut allergy, there’s very little to dislike here. Why not higher on our list? Only because our final entries are just a smidge more iconic. Peanut butter and chocolate is a tale as old as time – but Oreo executes it so well that this flavor has earned an almost legendary reputation. (Permanent flavor; consistently top-tier, beloved by peanut butter fans – truly a must-try Oreo.)
Oreo Thins (Original flavor, launched 2015) – Before we unveil the top spot, a quick nod to a format rather than a flavor: Oreo Thins. These aren’t a flavor variant (they come in original, mint, etc.), so we won’t rank them number one or anything, but they deserve a shout-out for innovation. Oreo Thins are exactly what they sound like – slimmer cookies, slimmer layer of creme – resulting in a lighter, crispier Oreo experience (en.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org). Some folks adore them, saying the improved cookie-to-creme ratio and delicate crunch make them feel almost gourmet. Others say “stop dieting my Oreo!” and prefer the classic heft. Regardless, Oreo Thins have been a hit, expanding to many flavors of their own. They’re perfect for those times you want to convince yourself eating five cookies is fine because they’re thin (we support this logic). In summary: Oreo Thins aren’t a flavor, but they are a successful offshoot that shows Oreo’s ability to reinvent itself. Now, on to our final ranking…
The Most Oreo Oreo (Cookies ‘n Creme, 2023) – This meta-monstrosity deserves a mention near the top for its sheer audacity. The “Most Oreo Oreo” features two chocolate cookies holding an absolutely obscene amount of creme – packed with ground Oreo cookie bits (en.wikipedia.org). Yes, it’s an Oreo flavored like an Oreo inside an Oreo. Oreo inception. The creme is essentially cookies-n-creme flavor (which is basically the flavor of Oreo to begin with, mind blown), and they weren’t kidding about “Most Stuf” – these are thicker than even the Mega Stuf Oreos. Biting into one is like eating a frosting sandwich with a little cookie. It’s absurd, it’s hilarious, and you know what? It’s delicious in a sugar coma kind of way. Fans went crazy trying to find these limited-release cookies in early 2023 – partially for the novelty, but also because they actually taste great if you love Oreo creme. We won’t put it at number one because it’s more of a novelty remix of the original. But it gets props for basically being Oreo to the power of Oreo. (Just don’t try to eat more than one at once unless you have a serious sweet tooth!) (Limited edition; a self-referential Oreo overload that sold out fast – proof that Oreos can indeed taste like…Oreos.)
Original Oreo (Chocolate Sandwich Cookie, introduced 1912) – Here it is: the king of cookies, the classic that started it all. Two nearly black, crisp chocolate wafers with that iconic pattern, held together by sweet white vanilla creme. There’s a reason the original Oreo is the benchmark for all other sandwich cookies and why over 110 years later we’re still in love. It’s simple perfection. The chocolate cookies are deeply cocoa-flavored (not too sweet), and the creme is sweet and vanillary, and when you twist, lick, and dunk – magic happens. Original Oreos are so beloved that they consistently top flavor rankings despite all the wild innovations (parade.com). In a world of Wasabi and Fruity cereal Oreos, the classic remains unsurpassed for many. You can eat them plain, you can dunk them in milk (the creme absorbs milk in the most satisfying way (thrillist.com)), you can crush them into ice cream – versatility is its middle name. Are they healthy? No. Do we care? Also no. Over the years, Nabisco has tried to improve or change the original (Double Stuf, Mega Stuf, etc.), but for purists, the ratio of the original Oreo is goldilocks perfect (businessinsider.com). It’s the cookie that launched a thousand flavors, a cultural icon, and the comfort treat for generations. At the end of the day, as much fun as the crazy flavors are, nothing beats biting into that original Oreo and tasting childhood. Original Oreo, you are the best. Case closed.

The "Thin" Oreo: For the calorie-conscious who still want to indulge.

Conclusion: One Cookie to Rule Them All

In this epic (and slightly sugar-fueled) journey through Oreo’s flavor universe, we’ve crunched through the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre. From international experiments that made us question reality (Hot Chicken Wing Oreo, we’re looking at you) to ingenious dessert-inspired hits (hello, S’mores and Carrot Cake), Oreo has proven itself as a fearless innovator in the cookie aisle.

Yet, as our ranking shows, sometimes the classics reign supreme – nothing quite dethroned the simple joy of the original Oreo and its time-tested combo of chocolate and creme. It’s a testament to how perfect that 1912 recipe truly is that, even after hundreds of flavor forays, it still holds the crown. The wild limited editions come and go, sparking our curiosity (and occasionally our horror), but we always find our way back to that familiar twist, lick, and dunk.

What will Oreo think of next? At the rate they’re going, perhaps Taco Tuesday Oreos or Pickle-flavored Oreos (don’t get any ideas, Mondelez!). One thing’s for sure: we’ll be here for it, ready to give it a try with an open mind and an ample supply of milk on standby. Because whether genius or gimmick, every new Oreo flavor adds to the rich tapestry of cookie lore – and gives us something fun to talk about (and taste-test on a dare).

So here’s to the Oreo: the humble biscuit that grew into a global phenomenon, the canvas for every flavor under the sun, and at its core, still the delicious chocolate sandwich cookie we’ve loved for over a century. After all this research, we’re craving a stack of Oreos stat. Why not grab your favorite flavor (be it classic or crazy) and join us? Together, we’ll raise a toast – or rather, a dunk – to many more years of Oreo adventures. Cheers, and happy dunking!

Ultimate Guide to Harmony of the Seas: Top 10 Things to Do, Fun Facts, and Insider Tips

2025-05-10T13:00:00.000-07:00

Everything You Could Ever Want to Know About Harmony of the Seas (2025)

Welcome aboard Harmony of the Seas — not just a cruise ship, but a floating empire of fun, food, and "whoa, did that just happen?" moments. This isn’t a vacation; it’s a glorious, over-the-top, belly-flopping, zip-lining, robot-drinking, Broadway-singing extravaganza at sea.

From the moment you step on board, you’ll start wondering if you accidentally joined the cast of The Jetsons: Seaside Edition. Harmony of the Seas has so many restaurants, attractions, and neighborhoods that it needs its own ZIP code. Let’s dive in, shall we?

A Brief (but Thoroughly Entertaining) History of Harmony of the Seas

Harmony of the Seas was launched in May 2016 and was constructed at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France — the maritime equivalent of Hogwarts for cruise ships. It belongs to the Oasis Class of Royal Caribbean International, which essentially means it's part of the Beyoncé tier of cruising.

Key specs for your inner trivia nerd:

Gross Tonnage: 226,963 GT — think of it as "floating weight class: heavyweight champion."
Power Plant: 3 Wärtsilä 16V46D common rail diesel engines + 3 Wärtsilä 12V46D engines, all feeding into Azipod propulsion units that swivel like they’re at a dance party.
Stabilization: 4 fin stabilizers with active motion sensors to fight seasickness before it ruins your shrimp cocktail.
Water Systems: Desalinates up to 1,700 tons of seawater daily. Yes, it drinks the ocean.
Data Network: A massive onboard IT infrastructure includes satellite internet (VOOM), Wi-Fi access points every 50 feet, and enough bandwidth to make your Netflix binging dreams come true.
Waste Management: Uses a vacuum-based waste collection system, similar to a space station, to process and incinerate refuse. Space toilets, but make it nautical.

Harmony of the Seas Ship Tour Video

Deck-by-deck breakdowns. Secret spots. My unsolicited opinions on hallway carpet patterns. A must-watch.

Fun Facts to Annoy Your Friends With

Custom-Built Propulsion Pods: Harmony uses three 20.5-megawatt ABB Azipods that can rotate 360 degrees, giving it maneuverability like a jet ski... if the jet ski was the size of a skyscraper.
Vibration-Dampening Pools: Engineers specifically designed swimming pool structures with anti-vibration mounts to prevent ocean motion from turning your cannonball into a jelly wobble.
Air Lubrication System: The ship generates a stream of microbubbles beneath the hull to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency by up to 7%. It basically rides on its own bubble wrap.
Automated Kitchen Logistics: A central “galleypass” system digitally tracks thousands of meals across 20+ kitchens, ensuring your prime rib gets to your plate without ending up in someone else’s stateroom.
Noise Mapping: Harmony's engineers used computer simulations to redirect and dampen engine vibrations. So you can sleep like a baby instead of vibrating like a phone in a cup holder.
Wind Tunnel-Tested Slides: The Ultimate Abyss slide was tested in wind tunnels to ensure that high-seas breezes wouldn’t result in accidental skydiving.

Top 10 Must-Do Activities on Harmony of the Seas (2025 Edition)

Forget the escape room (RIP, Escape the Rubicon — you were confusing and claustrophobic). There’s still a boatload of amazing things to do that don’t involve solving riddles while your uncle panics in the corner.

1. Ultimate Abyss

The tallest slide at sea. You stand on a glass platform, question your life choices, and then plummet 10 decks down in total darkness. Zero water, all scream.

2. The Perfect Storm Water Slides

Three spiraling slides — Typhoon, Cyclone, and Supercell — where gravity meets fun and modesty meets wedgies.

3. Zip Line

Fly nine decks above the Boardwalk on a mini thrill ride that lasts six seconds but will live forever on your vacation highlight reel.

4. FlowRider Surf Simulators

Two wave machines where you can show off your surfing skills — or spectacularly wipe out to the delight of a cheering crowd.

5. AquaTheater Shows

Where Olympic-level divers launch themselves off platforms while you try to eat nachos without looking surprised.

6. Ice Skating at Studio B

Skate around the rink like a graceful gazelle (or cling to the wall like a scared raccoon). Also hosts world-class ice shows worth packing a sweater for.

7. Broadway-Style Entertainment

Full-length productions of Grease and more, with singing, dancing, and sets that’ll make you forget you're on a boat.

8. Bionic Bar

Order a drink via touchscreen and watch a robot arm mix it with slightly unnerving precision. It’s like The Jetsons opened a pub.

9. Adventure Ocean Youth Program

AKA: Kid Heaven. Pirate parades, science labs, and zero screen time arguments. Even teens have their own hangouts.

10. Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center

Get pampered with massages or work off buffet regret with ellipticals and sea views. Also: smoothies you’ll pretend to enjoy.

Neighborhoods You’ll Want to Move Into

Central Park

This is not a drill — it has real trees, winding paths, birdsong, and restaurants so fancy they serve food you can’t pronounce. It’s the most peaceful jungle at sea.

Boardwalk

The family fun zone. Candy shops, arcade games, an old-school carousel, and Johnny Rockets if you’re craving burgers with a side of 1950s.

Royal Promenade

Shopping, snacks, parades, robot bartenders, and more. It’s like a mall that floats. And doesn’t judge you for buying three watches.

Entertainment Place

Catch comedy, jazz, karaoke, and theater. Bonus points if you manage all in one night (and remember it).

Hidden Gems and Secret Spots

Suite Lounge & Deck: If you’re in a suite, you get access to the fancy-schmancy sun deck. Think cushy chairs, chilled towels, and peace.
Central Park Café at 7 a.m.: It’s quiet. It’s cool. And you can get bagels without waiting behind 23 people in swim trunks.
Deck 14 Aft Wing: A secret(ish) spot for sunset watching and quiet contemplation. Or TikToks. We won’t judge.

Tech and Sustainability (a.k.a. The Nerdy Stuff)

Air Lubrication System: The ship literally floats on a layer of tiny bubbles to reduce drag and save fuel. Because even cruise ships enjoy bubble baths.
Advanced Water Treatment: Capable of recycling gray and black water onboard to near-potable standards. Basically, a Brita filter for 6,000 people.
Energy Management Systems: Centralized AI monitors everything from engine load to lighting usage to optimize performance in real time.
Solar Panels: Integrated solar arrays supplement minor onboard energy needs — enough to keep the elevators humming and your cocktails cold.

Food, Glorious Food

Prepare your stomach. Highlights include:

150 Central Park: Fancy food. White tablecloths. Meals you’ll want to Instagram.
Windjammer Café: Buffet of dreams. Where diets go to die — happily.
Sorrento’s Pizza: Open late and perfect for that 1 a.m. "I danced too hard" hunger.
Chops Grille, Izumi Sushi, and Wonderland: All worth booking. Wonderland especially if you like your food served under fog and mystery.

Pro tip: Bring stretchy pants. No one’s judging.

Final Verdict: So Worth It, It’s Ridiculous

Harmony of the Seas isn’t just a cruise. It’s a spectacle. It’s Las Vegas meets the Bahamas on a floating amusement park with better Wi-Fi and more hot tubs.

It’s family fun. It’s romantic. It’s adventurous. And yes — it’s over-the-top in the best way possible.

You’ll leave tan, bloated, and annoyingly full of trivia. But mostly, you’ll leave happy.

Don’t Miss the Video Tour!

Seriously — our video is packed with tips, tricks, and a few questionable dance moves. See where to sit for the best AquaTheater show views, which elevators to avoid at dinner rush, and the hidden photo spots that will make your Instagram pop.

Who’s Winning the Streaming Wars in 2025? This Retro TV Graphic Tells All

2025-05-07T13:00:00.006-07:00

Netflix is still king—but it's not the only one on your screen.

Remember when TV meant five fuzzy channels, a pair of rabbit ears, and a sibling acting as the human remote? Ah, the good old days. Fast forward to 2025, and now we’ve got more streaming services than we have hours in the day (or attention spans).

But which platform is really dominating the living room in 2025?

To answer that, we created a gloriously retro infographic that looks like your grandma’s TV set—but with stats that are fresher than a new season drop on Netflix. Each square on the screen is proportionate to the platform’s subscriber count, so you can actually see who’s hogging the remote.

The Streaming Standings (Subscribers as of May 2025):

Netflix: 301.6 million—Still the heavyweight champ, proving that your ex isn’t the only one still using your login.
Prime Video: 200 million—Because everyone forgets they’re subscribed… until The Boys drops a new season.
Disney+: 124.6 million—Fueled by nostalgia, Marvel marathons, and your toddler’s refusal to stop watching Frozen.
Max (formerly HBO Max): 116.9 million—For those who like dragons, dysfunction, and award-winning awkward silences.
Paramount+: 77.5 million—The comeback kid, still surviving off Yellowstone and sheer grit.
Hulu: 53.6 million—Somewhere between “essential” and “I only use it for The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Apple TV+: 45 million—Like an indie film festival in your pocket, but with a $3 trillion parent company.
Peacock: 41 million—Honk if you forgot this existed. Still going strong (ish) thanks to The Office reruns.

What This Infographic Tells Us

This isn’t just eye candy for data nerds—it’s a visual showdown of the streaming titans. Netflix might be the GOAT, but Prime Video and Disney+ are nipping at its heels like caffeinated squirrels. Meanwhile, Apple TV+ and Peacock are holding down the hipster corner of the screen, quietly plotting their next breakout hit.

And let’s be honest: some of us are only subscribed because we forgot to cancel the free trial.

So… Which Streaming Service Should You Pick?

That depends:

Want everything? Good luck budgeting.
Want prestige drama? Go Max.
Got kids? Disney+ is your babysitter.
Just want to watch Frasier and cook something sad at 11pm? Hulu’s your jam.

Bottom Line:
The streaming world is as competitive—and crowded—as your Netflix "Continue Watching" list. Whether you’re a binge-watcher, a casual viewer, or just mooching off your cousin’s password, it’s nice to know who’s who in the streaming zoo.

100 of the Best Dad Jokes Ever Told (Some You Shouldn’t Tell in Church)

2025-04-28T05:00:00.001-07:00

Nothing says “I love you” like a groan-worthy dad joke. Whether you're looking to make your kids laugh, roll their eyes, or both, here are 100 of the most legendary dad jokes of all time. We've mixed in some slightly blue humor too—because let’s be honest, Dad’s had a long day.

25 Unique Ways to Use ChatGPT You Didn’t Know About (With Step-by-Step Instructions)

2025-04-25T05:00:00.016-07:00

Unlock powerful, lesser-known uses of ChatGPT to boost productivity, creativity, and fun.

Whether you're a casual user or a tech-savvy pro, you might be surprised by just how versatile ChatGPT really is. Beyond basic Q&As, here are 25 creative, unusual, and incredibly useful ways to use ChatGPT—plus exactly how to make the most of each one.

1. Create Personalized Bedtime Stories

How: Give ChatGPT your child’s name, age, favorite animal, and a value you'd like them to learn (like honesty or patience). You can also ask for it to rhyme or include specific characters.

Prompt Example:
"Can you write a 5-minute bedtime story for my daughter Clara, who is 6, loves owls, and needs help learning about patience? Include a wise forest setting and make it soothing."

2. Generate Weekly Meal Plans Based on What’s in Your Fridge

How:
List out the ingredients you already have at home, including any pantry staples. Mention dietary restrictions and the number of servings. ChatGPT will generate a meal plan that reduces waste and saves money.

Prompt Example:
"I have chicken, broccoli, rice, eggs, and carrots. Create a 5-day dinner plan for 4 people, gluten-free."

3. Practice Tough Conversations (Like Asking for a Raise)

How:
Describe the setting and what you want to say. Ask ChatGPT to simulate the conversation, playing the role of the other person. Use it to practice your delivery, anticipate responses, and build confidence.

Prompt Example:
"Act as my boss. I’m asking for a raise because I’ve taken on more responsibility over the past 6 months and improved our client retention. Let's rehearse how this might go."

4. Plan a Themed Party (With Games, Food, and Decor)

How:
Tell ChatGPT the party theme, guest count, budget, and any age groups involved. Ask for ideas for games, snacks, decor, and party favors.

Prompt Example:
"Plan an 80s-themed birthday party for 15 adults under $300. Include costume suggestions, themed snacks, and party games."

5. Decode Legal or Medical Jargon

How:
Copy and paste the confusing paragraph, form, or document. Ask ChatGPT to simplify it. You can even ask for a bulleted summary of key takeaways.

Prompt Example:
"Explain this section of my insurance denial letter in plain English and list what my options are."

6. Rewrite Your Resume to Match a Specific Job Posting

How:
Paste your current resume and the job description you're targeting. Ask ChatGPT to highlight relevant experience, tailor your language, and ensure keywords match the posting.

Prompt Example:
"Here’s my resume. Rewrite it to better match this job ad at Google for a UX Designer. Focus on using their language and highlighting leadership experience."

7. Build a Simple Website With Just a Prompt

How:
Tell ChatGPT what kind of website you want, who it’s for, and what sections you want (like About, Contact, Gallery, etc.). It can generate HTML or even React code for you.

Prompt Example:
"Write the code for a personal portfolio site for a freelance photographer. Include sections for bio, photo gallery, and contact form."

8. Simulate an Interview for Any Job

How:
Mention the job title and industry. Ask ChatGPT to generate common questions, simulate a live interviewer, or even give feedback on your answers.

Prompt Example:
"Pretend you're interviewing me for a Product Manager role at a startup. Ask 5 behavioral questions and give feedback on my answers."

9. Write Jokes in Your Personal Style

How:
Tell ChatGPT what kind of humor you like (sarcastic, punny, dark, dry) and the topic.

Prompt Example:
"Write 5 dry humor jokes about working from home with toddlers constantly interrupting Zoom calls."

10. Create Custom Workout Plans Based on Time and Equipment

How:

Every M&M Flavor Ever: A Nostalgic Worldwide Tour of M&M Varieties

2025-04-23T05:00:00.021-07:00

M&M’s candies have come in so many flavors over the decades that it’s hard to keep up. From core classics to wild limited editions, and from seasonal specials to region-specific varieties, M&M flavors have delighted (and occasionally confused) candy lovers around the world. This blog post rounds up every M&M flavor and limited edition ever released, grouped into logical categories. Grab a bag of your favorites and get ready for a quirky, nostalgic trip through M&M varieties worldwide – you might even remember a few you thought were long gone!

Core M&M Flavors (The Classics)

These are the tried-and-true core flavors that M&M’s has offered as staples (some since the very beginning). They’re the ones you find year-round and the first that come to mind when you think “M&M flavors.” Each one is a classic in its own right, sparking its own nostalgic memories.

Milk Chocolate (Original) – The classic candy-coated milk chocolate M&M’s that started it all in 1941. Still melts in your mouth, not in your hand, stirring sweet childhood nostalgia with every bite.
Peanut – Introduced in 1954, Peanut M&M’s feature a roasted peanut inside. A crunchy, nutty classic that’s been a road-trip snack and movie theater favorite for generations, cracking shells and memories alike.
Peanut Butter – Launched in 1991, these have a creamy peanut butter core inside the candy shell. A ’90s kid favorite that gives you Reese’s vibes in M&M form, bringing back memories of lunchbox trades and after-school treats.
Almond – Almond M&M’s popped up in the ’60s, returned in the ’80s, and went permanent in 1992. They contain an almond center for a nuttier, crunchier experience – a slightly fancy twist that might remind you of sneaking into Grandma’s candy dish.
Pretzel – Debuted in 2010, Pretzel M&M’s have a salty pretzel ball center. The sweet-and-salty crunch was an instant hit, proving that “two snacks are better than one” and reminding us of mall pretzel stands and movie nights.
Crispy – First released in 1999, Crispy M&M’s have a crispy rice center that gives a light crunch. They were discontinued in the U.S. in 2005 (heartbreaking to many ’90s kids), but fan nostalgia brought them back in 2015 for another run. A crunchy blast from the past!
Dark Chocolate – Originally a limited tie-in for a Star Wars promotion in 2005, Dark Chocolate M&M’s became a recurring core flavor. With a rich dark chocolate center, they’re the “mature” sibling of the original – a little less sweet and perfect for those who remember the excitement of Episode III and love a sophisticated cocoa hit.
Dark Chocolate Peanut – The classic Peanut M&M’s got a dark chocolate upgrade around 2007. Same peanut crunch, but wrapped in smooth dark chocolate – a combo that feels a bit more grown-up yet still nostalgically munchable by the handful.
Caramel – Introduced in 2017, Caramel M&M’s feature a chewy caramel center. It’s like a mini caramel chew and an M&M had a baby – a gooey, chewy treat that brings back memories of caramel candies stuck to your teeth (in a good way!).
Caramel Cold Brew – A new addition (circa 2023), this flavor blends coffee flavor into a caramel center. Think of it as your candy-coated caramel latte fix – a modern flavor but already giving us nostalgia for those cozy coffee shop afternoons.
Fudge Brownie – Launched in 2020, these have a soft fudge brownie-like center. Each bite feels like a tiny brownie wrapped in a chocolate candy shell – an indulgent treat that evokes bake-sale nostalgia and late-night brownie baking memories.
Crunchy Cookie – Joining the lineup in 2022, Crunchy Cookie M&M’s have a bit of cookie center (think chocolate chip cookie meets M&M). They taste like two childhood favorites rolled into one, sparking memories of dunking cookies in milk – now in convenient candy form!
Coffee Nut – The fan-voted winner of 2016’s flavor contest, this variety coats a peanut with coffee-flavored chocolate. The result is a java-jolt in candy form – a crunchy pick-me-up reminding coffee lovers of their first latte, and a flavor that was so popular it percolated its way into the permanent lineup (for a while, at least!).

Seasonal & Holiday Limited Edition M&M’s

Over the years, Mars has cooked up special limited edition M&Ms for holidays and seasons. Many of these festive flavors were only around for a short time, but they left big impressions. From Christmas peppermints to Easter sweets, these M&M’s made holidays even more memorable (and gave us sugar highs at many a holiday party). If you’ve ever found a strangely flavored M&M in your Christmas stocking or Easter basket, it’s probably on this list!

White Chocolate Peppermint – A Christmastime favorite featuring a white chocolate center infused with peppermint, wrapped in red, white, and green shells. Basically candy-cane hot cocoa in an M&M – one bite and you’re instantly nostalgic for cozy holiday movie nights.
Holiday Mint (Christmas Mint) – A seasonal mint chocolate M&M (usually dark chocolate mint) that comes out around Christmas in red and green. Cool minty chocolate crunch that tastes like the winter holidays and makes you remember leaving out cookies… and maybe M&M’s… for Santa.
Hot Chocolate – A winter limited edition (circa 2015) with a hot cocoa flavored dark chocolate center. Exclusive to certain stores, these had folks debating “isn’t that just regular chocolate?” – but a hint of marshmallowy flavor made them feel like sipping cocoa by the fire, marshmallows and all.
Gingerbread – Introduced for the holidays around 2013, Gingerbread M&M’s spiced up milk chocolate with gingerbread flavor. With notes of ginger and cinnamon, they tasted like a holiday cookie swap in candy form – evoking memories of gingerbread house building (and sneaking candy off them!).
Cinnamon – A limited Christmas release (2011) featuring milk chocolate infused with cinnamon flavor. Red and green candies with a warm cinnamon kick, they felt like a cross between hot cinnamon candies and chocolate – a quirky combo that brings back the scent of holiday potpourri and cinnamon cocoa.
Pumpkin Spice Latte – Fall favorite alert! PSL M&M’s hit shelves in 2014-2015, combining white chocolate with pumpkin spice flavor. They captured the essence of everyone’s favorite autumn coffee drink – think cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin in a candy shell – making you reminisce about hayrides and pumpkin patch visits.
Pumpkin Spice – (Distinct from the “latte” version) An earlier fall release with milk chocolate and pumpkin spice flavor (no coffee). Orange, green, and brown shells and a whisper of pumpkin-pie spice made these a Target-exclusive treat that tasted like Thanksgiving dessert condensed into an M&M.
Pecan Pie – Released for fall/Thanksgiving seasons (2015 and briefly resurrected in 2019), these had a chocolate and pecan pie-flavored center. With brown, yellow, and white shells, they aimed to mimic the pie experience. Some found the buttery-sweet flavor subtle, but they definitely conjure images of family Thanksgivings and pie cooling on the windowsill.
White Chocolate Candy Corn – A Halloween special (first appeared in 2011) featuring white chocolate with candy corn flavor, in white, yellow, and orange shells. Love it or hate it, this super-sweet combo was pure Halloween nostalgia, reminiscent of trick-or-treat bags and that distinct candy corn bowl that always appeared in October.
Cookies & Screeem – A Halloween limited edition (2017) with a spooky name, these M&M’s combined a cookies-and-cream flavor with a dark chocolate shell. Black and white speckled candies gave off Oreo vibes – biting into one felt like a nostalgic Halloween party where you dunked cookies in milk between bouts of trick-or-treating.
White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie – Another autumn offering (around 2017), this flavor had a white chocolate center flavored like pumpkin pie. In harvest orange and white shells, they delivered notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, and graham – like a Thanksgiving pie in a single bite, sparking memories of family dinners and whipped cream-topped slices.
White Chocolate Sugar Cookie – A Christmas release in 2020, these had a crispy cookie center and white chocolate with sugar-cookie flavor. Decorated in red, green, and white, they tasted just like holiday sugar cookies without the baking. One crunchy bite and you’re taken back to decorating cookies for Santa (and licking frosting off your fingers!).
White Chocolate Carrot Cake – An Easter limited edition (Walmart exclusive in 2013) with white chocolate flavored like carrot cake spices. Pastel shells hid a surprisingly tasty mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweet cream cheese-like notes. It’s an odd combo that somehow worked, bringing to mind springtime brunches and carrot cake baking with grandma.
Carrot Cake – (Possibly the same as above, sometimes just labeled without the “white chocolate” part) – Essentially, M&M’s take on the classic Easter carrot cake, evoking memories of cream cheese frosting and candy carrots on top of cakes. A niche flavor, but those who tried it talk about it with a nostalgic smile.
Easter Sundae – A spring seasonal flavor (around 2016) featuring milk chocolate with a light malt or ice-cream-like flavor. Pastel-colored shells made them look Easter-ready. They aimed to capture the taste of a sweet ice cream sundae, and if you ever filled plastic eggs with these, you likely remember the surprise of “ice cream” M&M’s on Easter morning.
Key Lime Pie (White Chocolate) – A spring/Easter limited edition in the early 2020s, these green-and-white M&M’s had a white chocolate center flavored like tangy Key lime pie. Zesty lime and creamy sweetness in one bite – a flavor that brings back memories of spring picnics and that first warm day of the year when citrus desserts just hit the spot.
Cherry Cordial – A Valentine’s (and sometimes Christmas) seasonal that paired cherry flavor with milk chocolate. These deep red M&M’s tasted like chocolate-covered cherry candies. For some, they were a bit intense; for others, they were pure romance in a candy shell – conjuring images of Valentine’s Day dates and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate-covered cherries.
Strawberry Shortcake – A Valentine’s limited flavor (around 2017) with a strawberry and cream flavored white chocolate center. In pink, red, and white shells, these treats were like a bite-sized strawberry cake. If you remember these, you’re probably reminiscing about February displays of pink candies and perhaps sharing a bag with your crush.
White Cheesecake – Another Valentine special (first released in 2017), featuring a tangy-sweet white chocolate cheesecake-flavored center. Sold exclusively at one big-box retailer, they were a unique treat for romance season. Think of creamy cheesecake drizzled with chocolate – an indulgence that takes you back to Valentine’s date nights and dessert splurges.
Red Velvet – Released for Valentine’s Day around 2015, these M&M’s attempted to mimic red velvet cake in milk chocolate form. The flavor was a mix of cocoa and a slight cream cheese sweetness. While not everyone tasted the “red velvet,” opening a bag felt like a Valentine’s party, complete with red velvet cupcakes and lots of red and pink decor.

(Whew, that was a lot of seasonal flavors! Did you spot the limited edition M&M’s that you loved and lost? Don’t worry, you’re not alone – these come and go, but live on in our candy memories.)

Region-Specific & International M&M Varieties

M&M’s aren’t just an American candy – they’ve experimented with flavors inspired by or exclusive to various countries and regions. Some flavors were only sold in certain markets, making them the Holy Grail for traveling candy fans. Others were globally launched as internationally inspired limited editions. Here are the notable M&M varieties worldwide that showcase how M&M’s flavors have traveled the globe (or at least tried to!).

Dulce de Leche (Caramel) – A flavor introduced in 2001 in select U.S. Hispanic markets (like Los Angeles, Miami, and Texas border towns). These had a creamy caramel filling meant to mimic the Latin American dulce de leche treat. Short-lived (discontinued by 2003 due to low sales), but fondly remembered by those who tried them as a sweet milky caramel twist – a little piece of Latin America in an M&M, evoking nostalgia for anyone who grew up with dulce de leche desserts.
Mexican Jalapeño Peanut – Part of an “internationally inspired” trio in 2019, this flavor was sold in the U.S. but themed to Mexico. It’s a peanut M&M with a spicy jalapeño kick in the chocolate. Yes, they really did it – chocolate, peanut, and a hint of chili pepper. Many adventurous snackers had to try it; most agreed it was more of a “remember that crazy spicy M&M?” novelty. It definitely brings back the memory (maybe painful for some tongues) of that 2019 flavor vote where this one brought the heat!
Thai Coconut Peanut – Another of the 2019 international flavors, themed to Thailand. These peanut M&M’s had a coconut-flavored chocolate, giving a tropical, sweet-and-savory combo. If you ever dreamt of combining your candy with a piña colada, this was it. One bite and you’re on a beach in Phuket… or, more realistically, reminiscing about that time you scoured stores to find this limited green package before it vanished.
English Toffee Peanut – The third contender in 2019’s flavor vote (representing the U.K.) and the winning flavor that year. Peanut M&M’s with a buttery toffee-flavored chocolate coating, these had a sweet, buttery-rich taste that indeed feels elegant (as the Brits might say). They stuck around a bit longer due to their victory – so if you tried these, you’ll recall the rich toffee crunch and maybe imagine having them with a cup of tea. Jolly good, and a rare limited edition that earned a permanent spot (even if only briefly)!
Japanese Green Tea (Matcha) – This one is more myth than widespread reality, but it did exist in a limited capacity. In the 2010s, there were reports of Matcha (green tea) flavored M&M’s available in select Asian markets or special edition packs (often at places like Tokyo Disneyland or special shops). These had a green tea white chocolate center. They’re extremely hard to find, but the idea of a matcha M&M is enough to make collectors drool. If you ever got your hands on them, you experienced a mellow, earthy sweetness – like a sip of matcha latte with the crunch of an M&M.
Lamington – An Australia-only release in 2018, inspired by the famous Aussie lamington cake (sponge cake coated in chocolate and coconut). Lamington M&M’s had a chocolate, coconut, and a bit of jam flavor all wrapped into different colored shells (each color representing an aspect of the cake). Aussie fans went wild for them, and visitors tried to snag a bag. Biting into one was like a mini trip to an Australian bakery – coconutty, chocolatey, with a hint of cake nostalgia. G’day, indeed!
Crunchy Honeycomb – Released in Australia in 2022, this limited flavor features a center similar to honeycomb toffee (sponge candy) for that classic Aussie “honeycomb crunch” taste. They delivered a sweet toffee crunch (though some said it just tasted like a crispier crispy M&M). Still, they’re a treat that reminds Australians of Violet Crumble bars and honeycomb ice cream – a local flavor in beloved M&M form.
Bubblegum (Hubba Bubba) – Yes, you read that right: in 2021, Australia got a Bubblegum-flavored M&M’s edition, inspired by Hubba Bubba bubble gum. These were pink and blue and tasted like chocolate infused with bubblegum flavor. A strange mix that actually worked for some people! If you ever tried it, you likely did a double-take: your taste buds said “gum,” but your teeth said “chocolate.” This quirky flavor is pure nostalgia, reminiscent of blowing bubbles with gum as a kid, but in a candy you could actually swallow.
Orange Chocolate – In the UK and Europe, chocolate-orange is a beloved combo, so naturally, there have been Orange M&M’s (orange-flavored milk chocolate in the candy shell) sold in those markets. Brits enjoyed these as a twist on the classic, like a bite-sized Terry’s Chocolate Orange. If you've ever visited London and grabbed a bag, you’ll recall that zesty orange aroma upon opening it, and how it felt just right on a foggy UK afternoon.
Salted Caramel – A flavor released in the UK (late 2010s), featuring a soft salted caramel center inside the M&M. Imagine Caramel M&M’s, but with a hint of salt – it adds a new dimension. Popular in Britain, these travel-exclusive M&M’s gave a sweet-salty satisfaction. They remind UK fans of seaside toffee and modern dessert trends, and if you’re an American who snagged a pack, you probably wish they’d bring this brilliant flavor across the pond!
Intense Peanut (France) – In some European markets like France, Mars played with recipes. “Intense Peanut” M&M’s were marketed in Europe as having a stronger peanut taste (or a different roast) around the 2010s. Slightly different from the regular Peanut, they were for true peanut lovers. Maybe you tasted them on a Eurotrip and thought, “Hmm, tastes the same?” – but hey, it’s part of the worldwide M&M tapestry.

(From Tokyo to London to Sydney, M&M’s have embraced local tastes. These region-specific flavors might not be in your local store, but they live on in suitcase stashes and enthusiastic travel stories!)

Experimental & Discontinued Flavors (The Wild & Wacky Ones)

Finally, we come to the experimental, limited-run, and discontinued flavors that don’t fit neatly in the categories above. These were often here today, gone tomorrow – whether from fan votes, movie promotions, or just wild ideas from Mars’s candy lab. They may not all have been hits, but each one has a special place in M&M’s history (and in our hearts, if you happened to love them). How many of these do you remember tasting?

“All That Razz” (Raspberry) – A special raspberry-flavored M&M’s variant. Part of an online/M&M’s World store exclusive collection in 2006, this flavor (with others like it) was available in limited venues. Raspberry and chocolate make a classy pair, and this candy had a tangy-sweet berry chocolate taste. It didn’t go mainstream, but it lives on as a piece of M&M’s lore – reminding us of a time when M&M’s went avant-garde with names and flavors.
“Eat, Drink, & Be Cherry” (Cherry) – Another 2006 M&M’s World exclusive, this one offered a cherry-flavored chocolate center. It predated the wider cherry releases, giving a rich cherry cordial taste in M&M form. A playful nod to the holiday saying, it was pure cherry-chocolate indulgence. If you visited the Times Square M&M’s store back then, you might remember this as the flavor with a punny name and a rich, dark cherry kick.
“A Day at the Peach” (Peach) – Yes, peach-flavored M&M’s existed (briefly) in that 2006 exclusive lineup. This flavor delivered a white chocolate center with peach flavor. The result was… interesting – like biting into a chocolate-covered peach ring candy. It wasn’t around long, but it certainly wins points for creativity. For those who tried it, it’s a “do you remember peach M&M’s?!” fun fact to stump your friends.
“Orange-U-Glad” (Orange) – Not to be confused with the UK Orange M&M’s, this was part of the pun-tastically named 2006 series. “Orange-U-Glad” offered an orange-flavored chocolate M&M to go along with the jokes. It had a citrusy zing and was a nod-and-wink to fans of knock-knock jokes (“Orange you glad…?”). Short-lived but memorably named, it’s an emblem of Mars getting playful with flavor names and giving us a laugh along with a treat.
“Mint Condition” (Mint) – Another of the eight 2006 exclusive flavors, Mint Condition delivered a burst of minty chocolate goodness. Essentially a peppermint patty vibe in an M&M, it was cool and refreshing. M&M’s would later have many minty iterations, but this limited run had one of the best names. It takes you back to that era when owning the complete set of these quirky flavors felt like a candy collector’s mission.
“Almondeelicous” (Almond) – Part of the same series, this fancifully named flavor was basically a dressed-up almond M&M’s variant. Possibly almond with a touch of something extra (or maybe just a clever name), it capitalized on the almond+chocolate combo. If you saw it, you likely chuckled at the name and said “almond-Delicious!” while snacking. Another fleeting flavor that reminds us how M&M’s can be punny and yummy.
“Nut What You Think” (??? Nut) – The name hints at “Not What You Think,” implying maybe an unexpected nutty flavor. Some speculate it was a pistachio or hazelnut flavor M&M’s in that exclusive set (Mars never widely released pistachio, so this could’ve been it!). If you ever encountered this, you got bragging rights – an M&M’s so rare most never knew it existed. It’s the kind of experiment that has become almost legendary among candy fans.
“Cookie Monster” (Cookie) – Another M&M’s World exclusive, likely a cookie-flavored chocolate (or chocolate with cookie bits) M&M’s. Given the name, one imagines a crunchy cookie center or at least a cookie flavor. It predated the later Crunchy Cookie flavor by many years. If you ever tried “Cookie Monster” M&M’s, you basically tasted a prototype of cookies-and-chocolate candies that would eventually become a hit. Truly a monster of a rarity!
Crispy Mint – A variant released in Australia around 2007, combining the Crispy M&M’s texture with a mint chocolate flavor. Imagine a Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie turned into an M&M – pretty delightful, right? This one was limited, but those who got hold of it remember it fondly as a perfect balance of cool mint and light crunch.
Razzberry – In 2007, M&M’s introduced a limited-edition “M&M’s Razzberry” (yes, with an extra “z”). These were raspberry-flavored milk chocolate M&M’s (not peanut, just chocolate). They came in a purple bag and were a hit for those who love fruity chocolate combos. If you recall snagging these, you likely think back to 2007 with a bit of longing – the raspberry flavor was distinct yet not overbearing.
Wildly Cherry – A limited edition from 2008, Wildly Cherry M&M’s offered a bold cherry-flavored milk chocolate center. They hit shelves around the same time as a certain adventure-archaeologist movie promo (see next item). Fans who love chocolate-covered cherries or Cherry Garcia ice cream were thrilled. These had a devoted following and some folks still miss the strong cherry kick – a flavor that truly pops in memory.
Mint Crisp (Indiana Jones Edition) – Released in 2008 as a tie-in with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Mint Crisp M&M’s had crispy rice centers with mint chocolate, in a green adventure-themed bag. They were represented by the Indiana Jones M&M character in ads. Many remember these for the fun branding, but also for tasting like a crunchy Thin Mint. Eating them was like an adventure – literally, since they vanished after the promo ended, becoming a treasured memory for those who love minty sweets.
Strawberried Peanut Butter – Another movie tie-in (2009 for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), this wild flavor combined peanut butter and strawberry flavor in a chocolate shell – meant to evoke a peanut butter & jelly sandwich! Bright red, these M&M’s were truly unusual. If you tried them, you probably did so out of curiosity (PB&J candy?!), and you might recall them being… strangely tasty, like a PBJ dessert. Definitely one of the more out-there experiments that has nostalgic ’00s kids reminiscing.
Coconut – First launched as a limited flavor in 2009 (and marketed more widely around 2010), Coconut M&M’s had a coconut-flavored chocolate center in white, green, and brown shells. They proved popular enough to stick around for a while and even become a semi-regular offering. Biting into one was like a mini tropical vacation – reminiscent of piña coladas, summer beach trips, and that first time you realized M&M’s could taste like a Mounds bar.
Pretzel (Prototype) – Before Pretzel M&M’s became official in 2010, Mars tested various forms. While not sold to the public, there were whispers of early pretzel/chocolate experiments given out at events. We mention this only to say: by the time Pretzel M&M’s hit shelves, the idea had been brewing. Those early testers got a sneak peek at what would become a core flavor (covered in our core list above).
Birthday Cake – Released in 2014, Birthday Cake M&M’s had a chocolate center flavored vaguely like frosted chocolate cake. They came in festive packaging and promised party vibes. How did they taste? Like chocolate with extra sweetness – some said like cake batter. They didn’t last long in stores, but they spark nostalgia for birthday parties, wish-making, and that distinct taste of licking cake batter off a spoon.
White Chocolate Candy Corn – (See Seasonal section above) – included here again just to note it was experimental when first launched. A polarizing flavor that nonetheless has a cult following of Halloween lovers who wish it’d come back every year.
Coffee Nut – (See Core section) – an experimental fan-vote flavor that was so successful it joined the core lineup for a time. We include it here to emphasize its journey: from wild card contender to beloved staple. Truly an experiment gone right!
Honey Nut – One of the losing contenders in the 2016 flavor vote (up against Coffee Nut and Chili Nut). Honey Nut M&M’s had a sweet honey-kissed chocolate around a peanut. They were tasty (like a candy version of honey-roasted peanuts) but didn’t get the crown, so they buzzed off after the promo. If you found a bag, you remember them as the sweet underdog that deserved more love.
Chili Nut – The other losing contender from 2016’s vote. Chili Nut M&M’s had a mild spicy chili flavor in the chocolate with the peanut. Sort of a precursor to the Jalapeño M&M’s, they gave a gentle heat. They were actually pretty good if you like a sweet-heat combo, bringing to mind those times you may have added a dash of chili to your hot cocoa. They’re long gone, but chili-chocolate fans occasionally reminisce about them.
Crunchy Espresso – Part of a 2018 “Crunchy” flavors vote, Crunchy Espresso M&M’s had a crispy center and a strong coffee espresso flavor in the chocolate. Basically a crunchy coffee-flavored M&M. Coffee lovers were into it (tasted like a sweet espresso shot with a cookie chaser), but it lost the vote. Still, it left a jittery, happy mark on our taste buds for the short time it was around.
Crunchy Raspberry – Another 2018 vote flavor, this one featured a crispy center with raspberry-flavored chocolate. Fruity, tangy, and crunchy all at once, it was quite the experience – like a raspberry wafer cookie turned into candy. It was unique and those who tried it still remember that berry aftertaste. It didn’t win the contest, but it certainly wins points for originality in the M&M’s pantheon.
Crunchy Mint – The winner of the 2018 flavor vote, Crunchy Mint combined a crisp core with mint chocolate. Think of a thin, crispy mint cookie or a crunchy Andes mint. It beat Espresso and Raspberry to claim victory, so it stuck around a bit longer. If you grabbed a bag, you likely savored that cool mint crunch and recall voting online or debating with friends which flavor was best (mint clearly had a leg up, thanks to all those nostalgic mint chocolate chip ice cream fans!).
Hazelnut Spread – Introduced in 2019, around the same time as the international flavors, Hazelnut Spread M&M’s were basically “Nutella in an M&M.” They had a smooth hazelnut cocoa spread inside (instead of solid chocolate). A dream come true for hazelnut lovers, these were delicious and had many folks stockpiling them. They were marked as limited, though they hung around a while. Biting into one felt like a flashback to your first taste of Nutella spread on toast. If you see someone get misty-eyed over a light blue M&M’s pack, it’s probably because they miss these.
Chocolate Bar Variations (M-Azing & Others) – In mid-2000s, M&M’s even branched into chocolate bars and crossover snacks. The M-Azing bar (2004) was a chocolate bar studded with mini M&M’s, coming in Peanut Butter and Crunchy flavors. And later M&M’s Chocolate Bars (circa 2013 onward) featured flavors like Crispy Mint, Almond, etc., inside milk chocolate bars. These aren’t “M&M flavors” per se, but if you recall them, you’re remembering an experimental phase where M&M’s weren’t just button-shaped candies. Nostalgic factor: high (who else remembers grabbing an M-Azing bar at the checkout and finding it, well, amazing?).
M&M’s Premiums – In 2008, Mars launched “M&M’s Premiums,” which were fancier, larger candies without the hard shell (just a waxy coating) and in exotic flavors: Chocolate Almond, Mint Chocolate, Mocha, Raspberry Almond, and Triple Chocolate. They came in elegant cartons instead of bags. These were an experiment to dress M&M’s up for the upscale market. They didn’t last long, but if you tried them, you might recall that they were actually pretty tasty (the Mint and Triple Chocolate were standouts) and felt like a posh twist on our favorite candy. A true nostalgic nugget for candy aficionados!
Popcorn – Mars has toyed with a popcorn flavor (some rumors say it was tested, mixing a popcorn flavor or even actual popcorn bits with chocolate). While not widely released as an official M&M’s flavor in stores, a Popcorn M&M’s has been a topic of candy fan discussion. It possibly popped up as a specialty item or test product. We include it here for the curious: the idea of chocolate, peanut (or crispy) and buttery popcorn flavor all in one – like your movie night snack handful in a single candy. If this ever properly releases, it would instantly spark nostalgia for cinema trips and that glorious moment you toss a few M&M’s into your popcorn tub!

(These experimental flavors range from “Oh, I loved that – why’d it go away?” to “What were they thinking?!”. Mars was never afraid to get weird and wild with M&M’s, and we candy fans were happy to go along for the ride. Every flavor, no matter how brief its life, added a little more color to the M&M’s story – and perhaps to our own snack memories.)

10 AI Tools That Are So Smart, It’s Scary (But Also Kinda Cool)

2025-04-21T10:10:00.001-07:00

Artificial intelligence isn’t just for Silicon Valley billionaires and futuristic movie plots anymore. It’s here. It’s weird. And it’s doing things that will either make your life easier—or make you want to unplug your toaster just to be safe.

In 2025, AI tools are doing everything from writing your emails to singing lullabies in your voice. Some of them are so smart, it’s borderline spooky. But also... kinda amazing?

Here are 10 of the most mind-blowingly cool (and slightly creepy) AI tools taking over the internet right now.

1. Suno AI – Turn Your Text into Catchy Songs

Want to hear a love song written in pirate slang? Suno AI turns simple prompts into full-blown music tracks with lyrics and vocals. Yes, it’s real. And yes, it’s shockingly catchy.

Popular use: Making birthday songs, weird jingles, or Rickrolling your coworkers with custom lyrics.

2. HeyGen – Talk in 50 Languages Without an Accent

Upload a video of yourself speaking English. HeyGen will clone your voice and lip-sync your face so you’re suddenly fluent in Spanish. Or French. Or Mandarin.

Popular use: Localizing YouTube videos or just impressing your high school language teacher.

3. AutoGPT – The “Do My Homework” Bot

AutoGPT can plan a vacation, build a website, or automate your boring tasks. It’s like ChatGPT but on autopilot—with more steps and fewer questions.

Popular use: People pretending to “learn” while secretly using it to build startups.

4. D-ID – Bring Photos to Life (Literally)

Take a still photo, feed it to D-ID, and watch it start blinking, smiling, and talking. Perfect for historical photos. Or terrifying your siblings.

Popular use: Animating old family portraits or creating Harry Potter-style talking paintings.

5. Leonardo AI – The Ultimate Art Generator

Move over Bob Ross. This AI art tool generates stunning digital art, characters, product mockups, and game assets at the click of a button.

Popular use: Creating video game characters or impressing people on social media with “my artwork.”

6. ElevenLabs – Clone Your Voice (or Someone Else’s)

Just a short voice clip and ElevenLabs can mimic your voice reading anything. It's scarily accurate—and great for pranks or bedtime stories in Morgan Freeman’s voice.

Popular use: Audiobooks, voiceovers, or sending your mom an AI-generated voicemail that says, “I cleaned my room.”

7. Midjourney – The OG AI Image Sorcerer

Midjourney is still the king of making jaw-dropping visuals. Fantasy castles? Cyberpunk cats? An oil painting of Chuck Norris arm-wrestling Bigfoot? It’s all possible.

Popular use: Making profile pics that look like they belong in the Louvre.

8. Runway ML – Your Video Editing Assistant

Edit videos by typing text. Want to remove the background? Add a robot? Turn your dog into a unicorn? Runway ML makes it stupidly easy.

Popular use: TikTok content, music videos, or weird birthday slideshows.

9. Pika – Instant AI Video Magic

Describe a scene and watch it become a short video clip. It’s like Midjourney for motion pictures.

Popular use: Short films, concept trailers, or bringing your weirdest dreams to life.

10. ChatGPT-4 with Vision – Your AI Sidekick Gets Eyes

It doesn’t just read text—it looks at images and understands them. Upload a screenshot, a menu, a meme, or a math problem, and it tells you what’s going on.

Popular use: Debugging code, solving puzzles, or asking it if that mole looks weird (but maybe still see a doctor).

Final Thoughts: Is the AI Apocalypse Here?

No, probably not. But we’re definitely living in the future. These AI tools are wildly entertaining, genuinely useful, and—yeah—a little unnerving. Whether you’re making music, animating your childhood photos, or trying to build a business without lifting a finger, there’s an AI out there for that.

So go ahead. Embrace the robots. Just maybe don’t teach them how to cook… yet.

2025-04-15T12:31:00.002-07:00

When it comes to Hollywood, you'd think every smile is straight out of a toothpaste commercial. But not every celebrity has (or had) a million-dollar grin. Some stars became famous despite their less-than-perfect teeth—while others made their wonky smiles part of their charm.

In our first post about celebrities with bad teeth, we rounded up some of the most unforgettable smiles in showbiz. But you asked for more, and we’ve delivered. Here are 10 more famous faces whose teeth turned heads—for better or worse.

She didn’t just embrace the gap — she made it a fashion statement.

3. Pete Doherty

His dental plan? Just hope the other teeth hold each other up.

4. Vanessa Paradis

7. Johnny Depp

25 of the Worst Album Covers Ever

2025-04-14T15:18:00.000-07:00

Album covers are supposed to be the first impression—an artistic preview of the music inside. But sometimes, things go very, very wrong. From awkward poses and cringe-worthy concepts to bizarre fonts and straight-up nightmare fuel, these terrible album covers are unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. Whether you’re a music lover or just here for the laughs, this list of the worst album covers of all time is guaranteed to make you do a double-take (and maybe question humanity just a little).

Let’s dive into the weirdest, funniest, and most head-scratching album art disasters ever printed.

Who requested this? We need names.

____________________________________________________________

10. Millie Jackson – _Back to the St!_**

Bad album covers are a special kind of art. Whether created out of low budgets, questionable taste, or sheer overconfidence, these terrible music covers have earned a cult following of their own. They remind us that sometimes, the most unforgettable records aren’t remembered for what they sound like—but for how hard they made us laugh.

List of All Fanta Flavors From Around the World Part 2

2025-04-12T16:44:00.004-07:00

List of Fanta Flavors From Around the World: PART 2 (The Ones You Missed)

Back by popular demand (and by that, I mean I demanded it), here comes PART TWO of the most exhaustive, borderline-obsessive list of Fanta flavors in existence. You read the original post, and now you're wondering: "Surely there can’t be more?" Oh, but there is. The fizzy rabbit hole goes deeper.

Missed Part One? You can find it right here.

Below, you'll find every Fanta flavor I missed the first time, sorted by country and alphabetically within each country, because chaos has no place in carbonated beverages. As always, I’ve included both current and retired flavors—because some flavors die, but their memories (and burps) live on forever.

Australia

Berry Sour Tingle (Frozen slushy; retired): A tangy mixed-berry frozen Fanta variant formerly available at Hungry Jack’s.
Sour Watermelon (Frozen slushy; retired): A tart watermelon slushy that made its way into Hungry Jack’s locations.
Strawberry Sherbet Fizz (Current): Fizzy, fruity, and just creamy enough to confuse your taste buds in the best way.
Spider Chocolate (Float; retired): Yes, this was real. Chocolate soda with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Spider Strawberry (Float; retired): A pink and fizzy strawberry ice cream float situation.

Brazil

Caju (Current): A cashew-flavored Fanta launched in 2024. It tastes like summer in São Paulo got carbonated.
Citrus (Discontinued): A citrus blend of orange, grapefruit, and lemon that once ruled the tropics.
Guaraná (Discontinued): This one tried to compete with the guaraná kings—Antarctica and Kuat. R.I.P.
Mistério (Seasonal/Recurring): A Halloween favorite. Mystery flavors + eerie colors. Great for scaring your dentist.

Canada

Cream Soda (Current): A yellow cream soda that proves even Canadians can get weird with their soda.

China

Jasmine Peach (Current): Floral, fruity, and confusingly blue in color. Jasmine + peach = oddly satisfying.
Melon (Limited Edition; 2008 Olympics): A special edition that made Beijing's Olympics extra bubbly.

Costa Rica

Kolita (Cola) (Current): A red cream soda/cola hybrid that defies classification. Locals love it.
Root Beer (Current): Yep, a root beer Fanta. We didn’t see that one coming either.

France

#WhatTheFanta (Ongoing Limited Editions): A rotating cast of mystery flavors in vibrant colors like pink, blue, green, and purple. Guessing the flavor is part of the fun.

Hong Kong & Taiwan

Fanta Lactic (Milk; discontinued): A carbonated milk soda because, well, why not?
Fanta Lactic White Grape (Milk-Grape; discontinued): Yogurt meets grape meets fizz. Somehow, it existed.

Italy

Chinotto (Discontinued): A bittersweet citrus flavor from the chinotto fruit. Very Italian. Very gone.

Japan

Fanta Moo Moo White (Milk; discontinued): Carbonated milk... again. But this time, in Japan.
Fanta Premier Grape (Current): With 13% grape juice, it's a grown-up Fanta for your fancy soda cravings.
Fanta Premier Orange (Current): More juice, more pulp, more adulting.
Fanta Ume (Plum) (Discontinued): A tangy Japanese plum flavor that deserved more.
Yogurt Rush Melon Mix (Current): Yogurt + melon + pineapple. Like a parfait that went rogue.
Yogurt Rush Double Peach (Current): Double the peach, double the dairy, triple the confusion.
Yogurt Rush Double Grape (Current): Tart grape meets creamy yogurt. Not for the faint of fizz.

Malta

Amara (Bitter Orange) (Current): A bitter orange Fanta, proving that not all citrus wants to be sweet.
Blueberries (Current): Not "mixed berry." Not "wild berry." Just blueberries. Respect.

Russia

Dark Mystery (Chërnya) (Limited): A spooky, black-colored blood orange Fanta. Seasonal and brooding.

Sweden

Black Orange (Discontinued): It was orange soda. But black. Because Sweden.

United Kingdom

Apple Zero Sugar (Current): Crisp, clean, sugar-free apple. As refreshing as a polite nod.
Peach & Apricot (Limited; discontinued): The British gave us a sophisticated duo that didn’t last long.
Pineapple & Grapefruit (Current): Formerly known as “Lilt,” this tropical mix got Fanta-fied in 2023.
Raspberry Zero Sugar (Current): Light and tart, just like British humor.
Tutti Frutti Zero Sugar (Limited): Banana, peach, and pineapple all mashed into one nostalgic 250ml can.

United States

Birch Beer (Fountain; current): A root beer cousin with a minty bite. Found in quirky soda fountains.
Black Cherry (Slurpee/Fountain; discontinued): The flavor of drama and mystery. Gone too soon.
Blue Raspberry (Slurpee; current): It’s blue. It’s raspberry. You’ve had it. You love it.
Blue Vanilla (Fountain; discontinued): Bright blue and vanilla flavored. Tasted like a creamsicle went rogue.
Cherry (Freestyle; current): Standard cherry, but it holds up.
Cherry Limeade (Fountain/Freeze; current): That Sonic vibe, now in Fanta form.
Dragon Fruit Zero Sugar (Current): Neon pink and tropical. Lives at the intersection of health and party.
Haunted Apple (Limited; discontinued): A green apple Halloween exclusive tied to Beetlejuice. Boo.
Lime In My DM’s (Freestyle; limited; discontinued): A Y2K-themed lime drop that came and ghosted us.
Red (Red Cream Soda) (Current): A throwback to red pop. Find it at Rosa’s Tortilla Factory, Texas.
Vanilla (Fountain; current): Fanta said, “What if cream soda, but customizable?”

Vietnam

Hướng Xa Xỉ (Sarsaparilla; current): An herbal, root beer-style Fanta. Name means "luxury direction"—which feels about right.

10 Wacky U.S. State Laws That Are Still in Effect (Seriously)

2025-04-09T11:11:00.004-07:00

You might think the law is all serious business, but some state laws make you wonder if lawmakers were just having a slow day. Here's a round-up of ten of the most bizarre laws that are still technically in effect in the United States.

1. Alabama – It’s illegal to drive blindfolded.

Well, there goes my plan for “trust fall but with a Prius.” Alabama makes it clear: you need eyes on the road, not on your TikTok blindfold challenge.
📚 Source: Good Housekeeping

2. Alaska – You can’t be drunk in a bar.

That's right—you can buy alcohol in a bar, but being visibly drunk? That’s illegal. Alaska: where the party ends as soon as it starts.
📚 Source: Alaska Stat. § 04.16.070

3. Arizona – Donkeys can’t sleep in bathtubs.

This came after a donkey took a nap in a tub, a dam broke, and he floated away like a loofah with legs. Lawmakers said, “Never again.”
📚 Source: Arizona Republic via USA Today

4. Arkansas – No honking near sandwich shops after 9 p.m.

Apparently, sandwich shops need their rest. Honk if you’re hungry? Not unless you want a ticket with that BLT.
📚 Source: Only in Your State

5. California (Berkeley) – You can’t whistle for your lost canary before 7 a.m.

Because waking up the neighbors with your bird call is apparently a crime against humanity.
📚 Source: SFGate

6. Connecticut – Pickles must bounce to be legally sold.

In 1948, pickle fraud was real. If your pickle doesn’t bounce, it’s just a soggy imposter.
📚 Source: Connecticut State Library

7. Florida – Unmarried women can’t skydive on Sundays.

Because apparently, falling in love is okay, but falling from a plane? Not without a marriage license and a weekday.
📚 Source: StupidLaws.com Archive

8. Indiana – You can’t catch fish with your bare hands.

Put away your inner bear instincts. In Indiana, the fish deserve a sporting chance—and so do you.
📚 Source: Indiana Code Title 14

9. Kansas – You can’t serve wine in teacups.

Looks like your Bridgerton-themed dinner party just became a criminal act.
📚 Source: Kansas Liquor Control Act

10. Louisiana – Sending someone a surprise pizza is harassment.

That "random act of kindness" could get you fined. So, surprise tacos instead?
📚 Source: Louisiana Statute § 14:68.6

Final Thoughts

Whether meant to solve actual problems or written in moments of legislative boredom, these laws prove that legal history has a funny side. Next time you're bored, just remember: somewhere, it’s illegal to whistle for your bird.

From haunted mansions to chart-topping records, here are 10 interesting facts about the Red Hot Chili Peppers that you probably didn’t know—complete with sources so you can dive deeper.

1. They Originally Had a Wild Name

Before becoming the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band went by the name Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem. The group formed in 1982 in Los Angeles, with original members Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Hillel Slovak, and Jack Irons. Their wild name matched their even wilder stage performances, full of funky energy and unpredictable antics.

The band’s debut performance was on December 16, 1982, at a small Hollywood venue called the Grandia Room. They played to a crowd of about 30 people—just enough to start building the cult following that would later span decades and continents.

3. They Recorded One of Their Best Albums in a Haunted Mansion

The band recorded their legendary album Blood Sugar Sex Magik in a mansion formerly owned by magician Harry Houdini. Rumored to be haunted, the eerie vibes of the mansion gave the album a distinct energy. Some band members were so spooked they refused to sleep there!

4. A Tragic Loss Changed Everything

Original guitarist Hillel Slovak died of a heroin overdose in 1988. His passing rocked the band and caused drummer Jack Irons to leave, devastated by the loss. This moment marked a turning point in their lineup and personal struggles.
👉 Source

5. They Hold Major Billboard Records

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are record-breakers. They’ve had the most No. 1 singles (15), the most cumulative weeks at No. 1 (91), and the most Top 10 hits (28) on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. That's serious staying power.
👉 Source

6. They’re in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

In 2012, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joining the ranks of rock royalty. Their influence across funk, punk, and alternative rock earned them a permanent place in music history.

7. They've Sold Over 80 Million Albums

With over 80 million albums sold worldwide, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are among the best-selling bands ever. Their global success spans generations and proves the timeless appeal of their music.

Before becoming the band’s frontman, Anthony Kiedis had an acting career under the stage name Cole Dammett. He appeared in TV shows and films—including playing Sylvester Stallone’s son in the 1978 film F.I.S.T..
👉 Source

9. Flea Plays More Than Just Bass

Flea, born Michael Balzary, isn’t just a bassist. He also plays the trumpet and piano, showcasing his wide-ranging musical abilities. His love for jazz and classical music has heavily influenced the band’s sound.
👉 Source

10. Their Guitarist History Is a Rollercoaster

The band’s guitarist lineup has changed multiple times, but John Frusciante is the most iconic. He joined in 1988, left in 1992, rejoined in 1998, left again in 2009, and came back once more in 2019. His presence always seems to mark a creative peak for the band.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re into their funky bass lines or introspective lyrics, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have a history that’s as colorful and wild as their music. These fun facts offer just a glimpse into what makes the band such a cultural powerhouse.

Every Flavor of Tic Tac Ever, and a Brief History

2023-01-29T17:06:00.002-07:00

Tic Tacs are those tiny little mints, in the familiar hard, clear, plastic case. As a kid, they are fun to shake like a maraca, and as an adult, they provide a refreshing, breath-freshening treat. But, where did they come from? Would you believe me if I said, Nutella?

Yep, in 1969 Ferrero opened offices in New York City. They already had a yummy chocolate spread, but they wanted to introduce something new, so along came the Tic Tac. Interestingly, they were created by the founder's son during the legendary Summer of Love. Think about it, it's hard to get your love on, when your breath stinks.

This begs the question, if these are Italian, does eating them make you unpatriotic? The answer is yes, probably. Oh well, they are super tasty!

When they first came out they were referred to as (rather uninspired), "Refreshing Mints." Oh bravo, Mr. Marketing Guy. How did you come up with that? The next year they were renamed to reflect the sound they make in your pocket.

They started out with two flavors, Fresh Mint, and Orange. Ahh, Orange Tic Tacs. They make no sense as a mint; they have no right to be a mint, but it works. Plus their bright orange color is perfect for hunters who want to stay visible. Like a hunting vest in a mint.

In 1980, Tic Tac spread its way across 5 continents! That's all of them right? 1, carry the 3, divide by... Yep! That's all of them!

Since their humble beginning, Ferrero has introduced other flavors.
