Oreo launches bold new flavor in surprise collab with celebrity icon
Some might not want to admit it, but pre-packaged snacks are the best thing ever invented. They please all palates due to their wide range of flavors and types. However, in a world full of options and evolving trends, food brands are fighting now more than ever to stay relevant among consumers. The challenging competition has encouraged them to find new ways to catch people's attention and keep them engaged.

Even fast-food giants like McDonald's (MCD) have launched celebrity meals, including the Angel Reese Special, the Travis Scott Meal, and the Taylor Swift Bestie Bundle, to name a few. Nearly all of these food companies' efforts have successfully gone viral on social media, thanks to loyal fans who purchase anything with their favorite celebrity name on it and then post about it on all platforms. Most recently, a popular cookie brand has partnered with a well-known actress and singer to create a limited-edition treat. Image source: Robert Smith/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images Oreo has teamed up with the actress and singer Selena Gomez to create the limited-edition Selena Gomez Oreo Cookies. This new Oreo flavor features a layer of chocolate and cinnamon-flavored creme and a layer of sweetened condensed milk-flavored creme with cinnamon sugar, sandwiched between two chocolate-cinnamon-flavored Oreo cookies to create the ultimate sweet-and-spiced flavor combo. The cookies were inspired by Selena's favorite drink, Horchata, a Latin American rice-, nut-, or coconut-based drink, mixed with cinnamon and sometimes dairy, depending on the region.

The embossments include the word "Selenators," which her fans call themselves, a pair of headphones, a burning heart, music notes, and a heart-shaped record. There's also an exclusive cookie featuring Selena's signature, marking the first time Oreo has ever put an autograph on a cookie. As part of the collaboration, Oreo and Selena Gomez are dropping an exclusive remix, and more details will be revealed soon. The Selena Gomez Oreo Cookies will be available for presale nationwide on June 2 and will begin rolling out at U.S. retailers starting June 9. To give international fans the chance to try this new Oreo flavor, it will be available in Canada and Brazil starting June 9 and in Australia and New Zealand on June 17. Mondelez's (MDLZ) Oreo brand first entered the celebrity collaborations game in January by partnering with the American singer Post Malone to launch a limited-edition new cookie flavor inspired by him. The cookie giant wanted to reflect Post Malone's musical genre evolution by creating a one-of-a-kind collaboration that mixed more flavors than ever before into a single cookie engraved with nine designs representing the singer. This new Oreo consisted of two different swirl creme flavors, salted caramel, and shortbread, sandwiched between an Oreo chocolate cookie and an Oreo golden cookie. The collaboration surpassed Oreo's expectations, since it went viral on TikTok with many Oreo lovers and Post Malone fans posting taste tests of the release.

Maura Higgins' next move 'revealed' after Danny Jones 'drunken kiss'
Maura Higgins has reportedly landed a huge TV deal, weeks after she appeared to kiss Danny Jones at a Brits afterparty. The Love Island star, 34, has not publicly addressed their embrace but has been sharing social media about various work projects, including a business trip to LA and a gin event launch with Margot Robbie. Her next venture is seeing her return to screens stateside, as it's been claimed she's landed a US telly deal after winning the hearts of America last year as the host of Love Island US. A source revealed: 'Maura's signed on for a new series of Love Island USA – she was so popular after the last season it was clear bosses would sign her up.' 'They don't care about any personal life drama she has in the UK – she's been a huge hit with US audiences,' an insider added to The Sun. This comes after her first on-screen appearance since the embrace with her I'm A Celebrity co-star, Danny, 38, on the BBC's reboot of game show Blankety Blank. Maura reportedly appeared as a contestant on the programme hosted by Bradley Walsh and filmed her episode at Maidstone Studios in Kent in March. A source told The Sun: 'Since that unfortunate incident, Maura's kept to modelling jobs and posting glossy social media videos, but this will be her first TV appearance. 'She's opening herself up to ribbing and scrutiny, but the BBC has ensured the drunken kiss stays off-limits because it's a family show.' While Maura has remained silent on the kissing scandal, Danny issued a public apology to his wife, model Georgia Horsley, 38. The McFly singer has been married to Georgia, a former Miss England, since 2014, and they have a son, Cooper, together. In an Instagram Story, he wrote: 'Sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. 'I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately. 'I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video After his apology, Georgie reportedly moved out of the family home and stayed with her best friend Rose Mahon. It was later claimed she returned after a week's break to give her husband a 'second chance.' A source told The Sun: 'Her relationship with Danny was pushed to breaking point and they are still trying to work out what they want. 'Danny has made it clear he will do anything to make it work.' The King of the Jungle is set to have a busy summer with gigs lined up with McFly as they go on a joint tour with Busted that extends into the later half of the year across the UK and Ireland. Georgia is expected to return to her Mum's The Word! podcast – which she hosts with Kelsey Parker – soon and is set to take it live at the Big Feastival in the Cotswolds in August. Blankety Blank returned in 2021 after nearly two decades off-screen. First launched in 1979, the show was inspired by the American game show Match Game. More Trending It was hosted by Sir Terry Wogan from 1979 to 1983 before Les Dawson took over from 1984 to 1990. Lily Savage eventually revived Blankety Blank from 1997 to 1999 and then again from 2001 to 2002. Metro has contacted Maura's reps and the BBC for comment.
