That didn't stop Nabisco from launching a limited edition Watermelon Oreo flavor for summer. And the new flavor isn't even the first fruit-flavored edition of the cookie sandwich. There are also banana split, coconut, chocolate berry burst, ice cream rainbow 'shur,bert' and strawberry milkshake varieties.
There is no actual watermelon ingredients inside the cookies instead you will find food dyes, sugar, high fructose corn syrup and artificial and natural flavors.

Junkfoodguy.com website described the experience of eating the cookie as:
"As soon as I bit into one of these Limited Edition Watermelon Golden Oreos, I got an immediate light watermelon taste. I'll just say it right off the bat....I liked these. A LOT."
The site also added:
"These DIDN'T overwhelm me with artificial (well, overly artificial) watermelon flavor. Instead the immediate taste I got was a watermelon taste that tasted like, frankly, it had been blended with creme."
But why watermelon flavor? An Orea Spokesperson told Time why the cookie company decided to go in this direction.
"We chose Watermelon because it is a fun, summer flavor that goes great with the Golden OREO cookie," Oreo spokesperson Kimberly Fontes told TIME.
