Not one of the worst, Carrot Cake Oreos are surprisingly delicious

Delish.com has announced the Top 30 flavors of Oreos. If you’re like me, you had no idea there were 30 flavors of Oreos but nevertheless, I thought I would run down the Top 5 WORST Oreo Flavors according to the team at Delish. The best are all of your traditional Oreos, no surprise there,

Double Stuff finished number 1, Lemon Oreo number 2, the Oreo classic, the original, was number 3, More Stuf Oreo, which is just an Oreo that is even larger than the Double Stuff , was in 4th place and Golden Oreo placed 5th in the rundown.

One more quick note, did you know that there was a Lady Gaga themed Oreo? Delish ranked it 6th best Oreo of all even as it is no longer around, was not widely available, and was just a Golden Oreo with green Stuf in the middle of the Golden Oreo and packaged in pink with Gaga's name. The limited edition Oreo was released alongside Gaga's 2020 album Chromatica and are available on Amazon.com now for around $25.00 even as they stopped making them... a while ago.

The good 'Stuf' out of the way, the worst Oreos list is an interesting and perhaps misleading assortment of one of the most iconic cookie brands in America.

Top five Worst Oreo Flavors

Number 5 Oreo Thins

No, this is not a diet Oreo! For some reason, Oreo just made a smaller version of their original Oreo. They never called it a diet Oreo but some people get that impression from the name. In reality, The Oreo Thin has 35 calories per cookie while Oreo classic has 53 calories per cookie. So, yeah, it's not doing anything for your calorie count. Also, being thinner invites you to eat more of them on the assumption they are better than eating the Original.

Number 4 Oreo Thins Bites

Again, they’ve somehow managed to make Oreos even smaller. But also, once again, these are not a healthier choice, just smaller. SpoonUniversity examined the Oreo Thins Bites and noted that Nabisco, parent company of Oreo, was marketing the Thins brand as “a thin, crisp, elegant take on the original.” Though they are not in anyway healthier than a regular Oreo, smaller means likely eating more of them, negating the benefit, Nabisco hopes that Thins will reach an older and more health conscious consumer.

Number 3 Oreo Mint Thins

Again, a smaller version of a popular larger version of a standard Oreo flavor. See above, there is no benefit to this, you're just getting short-changed on your amount of Oreo.

Number 2 Fudge Dipped Oreo Thins

In case you wanted to remove any notion that Thins are better for you than regular Oreos, try covering them in Fudge. There is nothing THIN about Oreo Thins Dipped in Fudge. These are probably about as healthy as your average regular Oreo.

Number 1 Birthday Cake Oreos

Delish.com says that the Birthday Cake "Tastes like a Birthday Cake Vomiting," a visceral but not inaccurate description. Birthday Cake Oreos were introduced in 2012 and came as a wave of Birthday Cake flavored items was beginning to reach the market. Nabisco saw the trend and jumped on it which is par for the course with many Oreo flavors over the years.

Other unique flavors included in Delish.com's Top 30 Oreo Flavors...

The Churro Oreo

Red Velvet Oreo, speaking the trend chasing, Red Velvet was everywhere between 2012 and 2015. Oreo discontinued the brand in 2012

And The Carrot Cake Oreo which received rave reviews from Delish.com and ranked among the Top 10 in the Oreo rankings. Carrot Cake Oreos were introduced in 2019 and are now considered a 'permanent brand' among the Oreo family.
