Oreo is known for its inventive cookie flavors, and its latest does not disappoint. The galaxy-themed Space Dunk cookies from Oreo debuted this week.
Blue and pink marshmallow-flavored "cosmic creme," combined with popping candies to "create a supernova bursting sensation with each
bite," fills the new Oreo. The chocolate wafers have one of five space-themed embossed motifs, like a spaceship or shooting star. Each design also has a cookie cutout
The excitement goes beyond the new flavor. Oreo's "Lift Off with Oreo" sweepstakes partners with Space Perspective, a space travel experience firm, to send fans to space.
Winners will travel six hours to the edge of space in Space Perspective's Spaceship Neptune, "a pressurized capsule propelled gently by a
SpaceBalloon." Besides "unprecedented views of planet Earth," this trip will include a world-class meal, drink service, free Oreo cookies, wifi,
and a space spa with a bathroom. Oreo said the trip won't involve training or weightlessness or severe g-forces.
The sweepstakes runs until April 5. Oreo enthusiasts can scan the QR code on the cookie package or visit LiftOff.OREO.com. The voyage is
tentatively slated for 2025, depending on availability. An alternate cash award will be given if the trip doesn't happen.
The cookie brand introduced more than Space Dunk Oreos this month. In January, Oreo introduced three new flavors. Gluten-Free Golden Oreos
