If you've been on social media over the last couple of weeks, you've likely seen selfie after selfie of people holding the bright pinkChromatica-themed Lady Gaga Oreos. They were announced in December, released in late January, and are still at the center of conversation among Little Monsters everywhere.
The Lady Gaga Oreos became an internet sensation partially because everything Lady Gaga touches goes viral, but mostly because they're bright pink and green—colors that aren't generally associated with tasty food.
Naturally, we at Thrillist were curious if the Lady Gaga Oreos were edible, so I acquired a pack and conducted a taste test, seeing how they hold up compared to classic Oreos. Here's what I found.
Even without a side-by-side comparison, you'll notice right off the bat that Lady Gaga Oreos are crunchier than other flavors. The texture of the wafers was a little bit offputting at first because I associated it with staleness. After eating a couple more, I got over it and realized that the crunch is not bad, justdifferent.
Lady Gaga Oreos are made with Golden Cookie wafers, not the standard chocolate-flavored wafers, so it makes sense that they aren't identical.
The green creme filling doesn't taste like dye.
It's the question we've all been wondering: Does that artificially green filling taste like chemicals? Thankfully, it does not. The green creme filling is indistinguishable from standard Oreo filling. It's soft and tasty, no dye detected.
The Lady Gaga Oreo wins the dunk test.
Oreo claims to be milk's favorite cookie, so I would expect that any adequate Oreo flavor gets even better after being dunked. I am beyond pleased to report that, because of the Lady Gaga Oreo's crunchier wafer, it holds up better when it's dunked in milk. It's not too mushy, it's not too firm, and the vanilla cookie flavor gorgeously complements the milk.
Classic Oreos are still great when dunked in milk, of course, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Lady Gaga Oreos are more dunkable than their predecessors.
The favorability of Lady Gaga Oreos is a matter of taste.
When it comes down to it, Lady Gaga Oreos are plenty edible. Whether you like them or not basically just depends on whether you like Oreo's Golden Cookie flavor, since that's what the wafers are made of. If you prefer chocolate, you'll probably like classic Oreos better. If you prefer vanilla, you'll gravitate toward Lady Gaga Oreos.
TheseOreos do Lady Gaga justice.
No matter your feelings about Lady Gaga Oreos, you can't deny that they are a perfect representation of their namesake. Like Lady Gaga, they stand out and spark conversation. LikeChromatica, they look otherworldly. They don't want to be like all the other Oreos, but that sure as hell doesn't mean they're outcasts.

Lady Gaga and Oreo teamed up for a limited-edition flavor. The "Chromatica"-themed cookies go with Gaga's latest album. Oreo turned its Golden cookie into a vibrant pink-and-green treat.
The cookies are crunchier than a normal Oreo — one may wonder if they're stale or not — but it's easy to get used to that. Beyond the crazy colors, “Chromatica” Oreos really just taste like Golden Oreos (if not a little sweeter). They do well when dunked in milk, never getting too soft to crumble.
On January 28th, 2021, the official dropping of Chromatica cookies in pink limited-edition pack was announced via Lady Gaga's Instagram Story and OREO's official Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Before the treat became known as"Milk's Favorite Cookie" as of 2004, Oreo tried out quite a few slogans. In 1950, "Oh!Oh!Oreo" became their first slogan and jingle.
The creme tasted the same, as did the pink cookie. I was expecting it to be some sort of different flavor, but the experience was nothing more than having a simple Golden Oreo with a vanilla cookie and traditional vanilla creme.

Cotton Candy Oreo cookies were a limited edition release in April 2015 exclusively at Target stores, made of two golden Oreo cookies with cotton candy flavored pink-and-blue creme filling.
In 2019, Oreo released a mystery flavor along with a contest asking fans to write in and guess what they believed the flavor to be. The winner received $50,000. And sure enough, once the contest concluded, Oreo shared that the flavor was indeed churro all along.
The first Oreo was sold on March 6, 1912, to a grocer in Hoboken, New Jersey. The Oreo Biscuit was renamed in 1921 to "Oreo Sandwich"; in 1948, the name was changed to "Oreo Crème Sandwich"; and in 1974 it became the "Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie", the name that has remained to this day.
Try dunking them in milk for a special treat. These Nabisco Oreo sandwich cookies feature a rich strawberry cream filling, which is placed between a pair of sweet wafers flavored like vanilla sponge cake. These strawberry sandwich cookies are available in a 10.7 oz package with a pull tab that opens it easily.
The cookie was first named 'Oreo Biscuit' when it was released in 1912 by American biscuit manufacturers Nabisco. However, the true origin of the name is unknown. Some speculate that the name Oreo comes from the Greek word "Oreo," which means "beautiful" or "nice," but it has not been confirmed by Nabisco.
Hydrox cookies have a sweet filling and a crunchy cookie shell. The Oreo cookie, introduced in 1912, was inspired by the Hydrox. The Oreo eventually became more popular than Hydrox which resulted in Hydrox being thought of as a copy of Oreo.
The Loose brothers want to capitalize on this trend, and so in 1908 they put two crisp, bitter dark chocolate wafers around a layer of sweet vanilla creme. They called their creation Hydrox. It was America's first chocolate sandwich cookie.
