Update: Click here to read our Nabisco Limited Edition Birthday Cake Oreo review

Did you know I ate over 100 Oreo cookies in 2011?

Did you know the Oreo cookie turns 100 years old in 2012?

According to Wikipedia, the Oreo cookie was created by Nabisco in 1912 at one of its factories in New York City. Oreo cookies originally came in two flavors: lemon meringue and cream. However, the cream ended up being, by far, the most popular flavor, and Nabisco stopped producing the lemon meringue flavor in the 1920s. But enough with the free history lesson that will not provide you with any answers for any history exam you take.

So how is Nabisco going to celebrate Oreo’s 100th birthday? They’re probably first going to have Willard Scott announce the birthday on The Today Show, and then they’re going to do it with Limited Edition Birthday Cake Oreo cookies.

The naturally and artificially flavored chocolate sandwich cookies will have a creme filling with what appears to be sprinkles in it. That filling will be sandwiched in-between chocolate cookies that have a special design commemorating Oreo’s 100th birthday. I haven’t been able to dig up anything about its flavor, so I don’t know what kind of birthday cake the limited edition cookie is supposed to taste like.

Two cookies will have 140 calories, 60 calories from fat, 6 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat (uses partially hydrogenated oil), 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 110 milligrams of sodium, 40 milligrams of potassium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 13 grams of sugar, less than 1 gram of fiber, and less than 1 gram of protein.

The Limited Edition Birthday Cake Oreo cookies will be available in early 2012 in 10.5 ounce packages.

In 2010, Kellogg’s introduced Krave cereal in the UK and then bombarded its citizens with commercials like the one above.

Ever since reading that review, I’ve been kraving Krave because I love a cereal that borders on the line of cereal and candy. Thankfully, I soon won’t be kraving Krave, instead I’ll be kramming Krave down my oral kavity because Krave is koming to Amerika.

The US version of Krave cereal will come in two varieties: Chocolate and Double Chocolate. The chocolate version consists of a crispy multi-grain cereal outside with a smooth chocolate inside, while the double chocolate version will have a chocolate flavored cereal on the outside with a smooth chocolate inside.

A serving of Krave Chocolate has 120 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1.5 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 1 gram of monounsaturated fat, 24 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein. A 3/4 cup serving of Krave Double Chocolate has 120 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1.5 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 1 gram of monounsaturated fat, 23 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein. Both varieties are fortified with vitamins and minerals.

To be honest, I don’t really eat Peeps. I just like to use them in a way that would upset starving children in third world countries — Peep Wars. If you don’t know what Peep Wars are it involves sticking two Peeps, with toothpicks inserted into them, on a plate facing each other as if they’re going to duel. The plate is then microwaved and as the Peeps swell, their toothpicks will poke each other. The Peep that explodes first is the loser.

Peeps come in a variety of colors, but the new Caramel Flavored Dipped Marshmallow Peeps come in a tan color. That’s going to make Peep Wars a little more fun. The caramel-flavored Peeps’ bronzed bodies will make each Peep War look like a fighting scene from the movie 300. If only these Peeps were oily and had perfect abs.

But if you’re going to eat Caramel Flavored Dipped Marshmallow Peeps, they come in two varieties; they’re dipped in either milk or dark chocolate. The new flavor will only be available in three-count packages.

I wonder if the upcoming Extra Dessert Delights Root Beer Float Gum will foam in my mouth like when vanilla ice cream and root beer come together in a glass. Most likely that’s not the case, but that would make the gum a bit more authentic…and probably rabies pranks will rise.

Extra Dessert Delights Root Beer Float will be the latest gum flavor in the sugar-free dessert flavored gum lineup, which also includes Mint Chocolate Chip, Key Lime Pie, Strawberry Shortcake, Orange Creme Pop, and Apple Pie.

Yes, I know the lineup by heart.

The root beer flavored gum won’t be available until the summer of 2012 because it just recently earned the right to be made by winning Extra Dessert Delights Fan Flavorite Vote on Facebook. Root beer float garnered 662,817 votes, crushing the other two choices, lemon square and bananas foster, which received 363,389 and 360,731 votes, respectively.

So get ready for another dessert-flavored chewing gum that’s significantly less satisfying than the real thing.
