All 6 Thanksgiving Oreo Flavors (Yes, Even Turkey & Stuffing) | Review
We got our hands on Oreo’s full Thanksgiving flavor lineup, and the results were…interesting. Matt and Jason taste all six limited-edition cookies...pumpkin pie, apple pie, cranberry sauce, sweet potato, creamed corn, and the infamous turkey & stuffing...and rank them from “surprisingly good” to “please never make this again.”
Some of these are actually good.
Some of these violated the Geneva Convention.
Either way, this is the wildest Oreo review we’ve ever done.

Matt:Good enough. Do you want me to get you some wet wipes? You need a vacuum cleaner.
Jason:So welcome back to Arsenic Culture. I'm Jason.
Matt:I'm Matthew today.
Jason:And today we're gonna be doing a review, but this is a special review. We
Matt:it's so special.
Jason:it's so special. It is very, it is very special. So we just, Thanksgiving just recently passed. Yeah, we tried to get to this before. We just couldn't make it work. This is a Thanksgiving dinner inspired, limited edition Oreo set.
Matt:I do not, I do not wanna try this. I
Jason:don't necessarily either. So my wife, so my wife and son, we actually get two of each cookie in this 10. They wanted to try 'em before I did. I did not try any. I wanted to make sure my. My opinion was, uh, not skewed. That's right. They said it was the worst thing they possibly could have made
Matt:ever. How the hell did you come across this?
Jason:So our friend Jordan, who's been on the show many times, uh, with the reviews and stuff too, he saw this come up online, sent it to me, and I'm like, I can't not buy that. So, you know. So here, here's the flavors we have. Pumpkin pie, flavored Oreo. That
Matt:that sounds okay. Okay.
Jason:corn Oreo. I think that could be okay. I think. I think that could
Matt:already out. I'm already
Jason:Caramel apple pie. That's
Matt:maybe. Yeah, I think that could be
Jason:cranberry sauce. I can't be too bad. Nope. I
Matt:I think that's gonna be gross. Turkey and stuffy.
Jason:and stuffing. Yeah.
Matt:See, this is where it gets real bad.
Jason:And sweet potato.
Matt:sweet potatoes. No,
Jason:I mean, I could see it being good,
Matt:I dunno.
Jason:but the Oreo tins pretty cool. Pretty cool for
Matt:that. It's really cool.
Jason:We get a little card and you get a little, I don't know what this is. So which one do we wanna start with?
Matt:The card says, what does it say? Tried it, loved it. Not sure yet.
Jason:So of those flavors, pumpkin pie, cream, corn, caramel, apple, cranberry Turkey, and stuffing sweet potato. Which one should we start with? Do
Matt:Dude? Start with what we think is gonna be good. Go with
Jason:I think pumpkin pie will be good, right? Like this is pumpkin pie. So let's, let's try this one now. Here's the, I'm want to cut this. They're individually wrapped. You
Matt:You can use that sheet as a cutting board if you need.
Jason:I'm just gonna break it off. Come
Matt:Are you,
Jason:Oh hell yeah. I got that.
Matt:Oh dude that came right in half.
Jason:Actually, yeah.
Matt:All right. So
Jason:it smells good.
Matt:you can see the frosting on there, which is kind of cool, and you got.
Jason:Yeah.
Matt:in the middle, I think. I'm wondering if a lot of that flavor is just the frosting on the outside.
Jason:that's great.
Matt:Actually. Smells pretty good.
Jason:If you like pumpkin Bob, that's like pumpkin bob.
Matt:is actually good.
Jason:Yeah.
Matt:Did they try this one?
Jason:you try this one? Surely not. This is good. There's nothing wrong with
Matt:I actually really like
Jason:you like pumpkin pie, it's really good. Alright, one down. Let's keep going. Ones we think we'll, like, let's go with caramel apple pie.
Matt:I think it's a good idea. as good as idea as any. It's a lot better idea than trying these in the first
Jason:First one was solid. First one was solid. Mm-hmm. I can't feel my fingers. We'll see if we can break this.
Matt:you did pretty good with that last one you get, no, actually, I'll take the big one on this one. That's fine.
Jason:Okay. It smells like caramel apple.
Matt:Yeah, that's actually it smells pretty good.
Jason:Yeah, it's fine. I
Matt:I like that actually. Yeah. Got a cobbler kind of thing going on. I could, I could do that. Yeah.
Jason:I think my wife and son were just overly dramatic. So
Matt:so far so good. Alright, granted we're going from best of worst.
Jason:We, we think the best of worst. All right, so we think Turkey stuffing will be the worst You wanna do cranberry sauce? Sweet potato,
Matt:cranberry sauce. Next.
Jason:cranberry sauce. Next. I can see this one being polarizing.
Matt:so pumpkin pie and caramel apple pie are, they're good. They're exactly what you would expect 'em to taste
Jason:you were expecting to take. I think pumpkin pie was better, but I like, I like pumpkin pie
Matt:I agree. There's a little more expected flavor profile. Use that knife if your hands are too weak.
Jason:struggling. Gosh, damn.
Matt:Good enough. Do you want me to get you some wet wipes? Oh my
Jason:These are not necessarily made to be broken. No, no.
Matt:you need a vacuum cleaner. Good enough
Jason:Cranberry's. Very tart. Very tart. Oh my goodness. I twitch him.
Matt:that.
Jason:Woohoo. That's so tart. I didn't know cranberries in that. Tart,
Matt:Oh, that's strange.
Jason:that is, um,
Matt:Oh fuck. That's like a, that's like sour pitch patch, kid sour.
Jason:I'm not gonna finish that one.
Matt:I can't either. Holy cow.
Jason:Yeah, that's, that's a little too much on
Matt:So I will say it doesn't taste bad, but that was a weird, that was a weird flavor. I was not
Jason:eat that. But that it's so tart. So tart.
Matt:so weird.
Jason:All right,
Matt:I did not want that to be sour. I gotta wash my mouth out with one of our.
Jason:sweet potato or cream corn. Which one do you think? Um,
Matt:Um, I think sweet potato. Then cream, corn. I have a feeling cream corn's going to
Jason:See, I would say cream corn would be okay.
Matt:I don't know, man.
Jason:It smells pretty good. I'm
Matt:I'm glad you're breaking these.
Jason:or not. Maybe I can't feel my hand at all, so, okay. Okay. That's pretty actually even That's pretty good. Pretty good tear.
Matt:It actually smells like a candle, like in a good way. This is sweet potato
Jason:It's salad. It
Matt:It smells like caramel. That's
Jason:That's good. There's no problem with that.
Matt:There is no way. That's good. I would get sweet potato off that if you didn't tell me it tastes like caramel.
Jason:Yeah,
Matt:I like that one.
Jason:I mean, that might be the best one.
Matt:I think I might agree with you. Okay. I am pleasantly surprised so far. The cranberry was a little weird, but it wasn't like
Jason:think my wife and some are very overly dramatic. If you're watching or when you watch.
Matt:Alright.
Jason:All right. Cream corn. Next. We, we both agree Turkey and stuffing is gonna be the worst. I.
Matt:I think so. Watch Turkey and stuffing be like the best one.
Jason:It smells like cream corn.
Matt:Does it really?
Jason:No shit. Yeah.
Matt:You got it, man.
Jason:You
Matt:You.
Jason:god dang. There
Matt:You're gonna have carpal tunnel after this.
Jason:I'm struggling.
Matt:Oh God. It does smell like cream corn. That is so nasty.
Jason:Messy. I'm not gonna throw up, but I don't, I don't like it.
Matt:oh my God. That's fucking nasty.
Jason:That ain't good.
Matt:good.
Jason:That's the worst we've had. I can't believe you've,
Matt:I can't believe you. Oh.
Jason:I mean, I could eat it if I had to
Matt:I wanna scrape my tongue. Now.
Jason:Now this is the one
Matt:You could eat that if you had to.
Jason:could eat
Matt:That's fucking nasty. You know what's hilarious? It actually tastes like cream corn, which is what makes it nasty, because it's
Jason:I don't like cream corn either. All right, so this is Turkey and stuffing. Oh my God.
Matt:Hold on, hold on. Lemme smell it before you break
Jason:Oh my God. Fucking
Matt:gravy.
Jason:That's gravy. That's gravy and cheap dressing and Turkey.
Matt:Holy crap.
Jason:All right. This
Matt:Oh, it's on my hands.
Jason:yeah. No, that's a good break.
Matt:the little one. Gimme the little one.
Jason:I don't think it matters.
Matt:doesn't matter.
Jason:Oh God, if I throw up, I guess I'm just gonna go the corner.
Matt:throw up in the Oreo tint. That's what it doubles as. It's a throw up bucket.
Jason:All, there's no good redeeming quality from that.
Matt:That is fucking rose.
Jason:dog food.
Matt:Yeah, that's actually a, oh, that's a great descriptor. It's like dog food.
Jason:Oh my God.
Matt:Oh.
Jason:We saved the world. We, we did it right.
Matt:Oh my
Jason:know if there's anything I can drink to get that outta my mouth.
Matt:Holy shit.
Jason:All right, help. That helped.
Matt:That's the worst thing I've put in my mouth in a long time and I put some questionable things in
Jason:have, I've heard this. Oh
Matt:what's your, what's your verdict?
Jason:talk about 'em. So. Pumpkin. We, we tried pumpkin pie first. No, we tried caramel apple pie
Matt:No, we did pumpkin pie
Jason:Pumpkin pie. Okay. Pumpkin pie. What would you rate that one zero to 5.25 increments.
Matt:Pumpkin buy was, pumpkin buy was solid. I mean that's like a, my standard Oreo is probably four and a quarter, if not
Jason:I'm probably four and a half on the standard for the pumpkin pie. Probably a four.
Matt:I still go four and a quarter to the pumpkin pie. That was pretty good. Yeah. Apple pie,
Jason:Apple pie.
Matt:maybe four. The flavor's a little weird, but like it
Jason:not bad. Yeah, I'd probably both of 'em go before, uh, next time we had sweet potato. Um,
Matt:Um, no, we did cranberry sauce.
Jason:we did that one next.
Matt:did that. Yeah, that was sour as hell. Which is crazy.
Jason:yeah. It was too sour. Honestly. The, I don't even know if I got cranberry. It was so tart. I'm probably like a three and a half on that one.
Matt:I'm like a three E on that one.
Jason:What about sweet potato?
Matt:sweet, sweet potato was great. That was like straight caramel. I'm going four and a half on that one. Four,
Jason:I'm four and a quarter on that one. Um, cream corn?
Matt:Nope. I can't believe you thought that was gonna be good. I don't know why you thought that
Jason:thought it would be corn.
Matt:corn in what universe were you, like corn's gonna be good on an Oreo? In what universe is, are the, is that a good pairing? I really want to
Jason:In my universe
Matt:Your universe is fucked up.
Jason:I don't even know if I can rate that one.
Matt:That's, that's like
Jason:a one.
Matt:0.25
Jason:it a one. And then Turkey. Turkey and stuffing.
Matt:a zero. I've never rated anything a zero. That is one of the most godawful things
Jason:can we give negatives? Can we, can we rate the next?
Matt:start. Let's start right
Jason:I'm gonna go negative three and a half.
Matt:I'm gonna go negative three on that one. I just thinking about
Jason:that might be the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.
Matt:You know that feeling when you want to throw up and your mouth gets real watery? I'm starting to get that, just
Jason:and I still taste it.
Matt:It's like lingering. I can't, we need to, we need to do a bourbon
Jason:It's like,
Matt:to watch
Jason:it's like dog food with gravy on top of dog food.
Matt:don't talk about dog food
Jason:It's like you mix up old oil with a little bit of water for your dog,
Matt:Turn it into gravy. My dog's gonna love this old Roy. Oh my God.
Jason:you put some three day old gravy you made on top of this. God.
Matt:Oh my God.
Jason:Yeah, thanks. Oreo is a cool, cool try, but, uh, let's get rid of a couple those. I mean, maybe we'll do that
Matt:No, I honestly, they, that was probably their intent. They're doing like the Harry Potter, uh,
Jason:Jelly beans. Yeah.
Matt:bean thing. Oh my gosh.
Jason:uh, I would not recommend buying that, um,
Matt:you want to prank your friends. Give them the Turkey and stuffing and cream
Jason:But the pumpkin pie, caramel pie and sweet potato, you could probably make those
Matt:is great.
Jason:pretty
Matt:Didn't taste like sweet potatoes.
Jason:Overall review, not great.
Matt:Not great. I think those last two bring the
Jason:but we didn't throw up
Matt:I didn't throw up. No, not yet. All right. You wanna close this out?
Jason:All right guys. Thanks for watching. Um, keep watching and then drink what you like and argue about the rest. We'll come back for our next review is Arsenic Culture.
