Strawberry Milkshake Oreos!
Spotted at Target, but my fear of artificial strawberry flavoring led me to not even consider buying them.

Wise choice to leave them on the shelf, I think! I've not tried the cookies myself, but the folks over at deltaparkproject.com tried them and said they tasted *very* artificially flavored, rather like strawberry-flavored cereal.
I also have a great fear of artificial strawberry flavoring. I hated strawberry Quik in the 70s! I, too, saw these at Target and noticed that they had Canadian-style cookie packaging so I looked and sure enough, they appear to be a Canadian Nabisco/Kraft product. Maybe the Canadians are big on yucky fake strawberry flavor!
Haven't seen strawberry, but recently tried Banana Split Oreos and just today picked up a bag of Peanut Butter Oreos...the banana are pretty good, and I haven't tried the peanut butter yet but have high hopes.
they are indeed artificial tasting, but sort of in a delicious way? you should totally steal one from a friend if you see them with some...
Finally - someone with a fear of artificial strawberry____. Back when I was employed with the Coast Guard, I had an awful allergic reaction to artificial smoke (with strawberry scent to make it detectable) used in shipboard firefighting training. I had to be hoisted off the ship by a helicopter at four in the morning, and ferried to the Navy hospital at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It was a laugh a minute ;-)
These have been out in the Boston area since last summer, but they did disappear over the winter months. SO glad to see them back on the shelves. I love them!
Adrienne, what's Canadian-style cookie packaging?
Tried them, they actually tasted good!
