When Uncle John was young there were Oreos, and Double-Stuf Oreos, and one kind of Kit Kat bar. It’s a brave new world.
In the last couple of years, Nabisco has aggressively introduced more, and more crazy, flavors of the popular sandwich cookie. Over in Japan, the Kit Kat candy bar is extremely popular and similarly is available in dozens of seemingly bizarre flavors. Can you guess which of the following are weird Oreo flavors and which are weird Kit Kat flavors?
- Banana Split
- Chocobanana
- Rainbow Sherbet
- Brown Sugar
- Strawberry Cheesecake
- Candy Corn
- Gingerbread
- Pear
- Watermelon
- Fruit Parfait
- Cookie Dough
- Marshmallow Crispy
- Cool Mint
- Green Tea Ice Cream
- Blueberry
- Fruit Punch
- Pumpkin

Answers:
Numbers 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are all real Oreo flavors (although technically speaking, the Rainbow Sherbet one is actually called “Rainbow Shure, Bert!”). Blueberry is available in Indonesia, and the Green Tea Ice Cream is a flavor available only in China.
Numbers 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 17 are Kit Kat bars from Japan. Among the other types you can get there: Edamame, Sweet Potato, Azuki Bean, Strawberry Fromage, Apricot Seed, “College Tater,” and “French Salt.”
