Earlier than the Saja Boys in KPop Demon Hunters, there was BTS.
In case you reside below a rock (no shade), BTS is a seven-member South Korean boy band that formally crossed over to the US charts round 2017 and was completely on fireplace – breaking Billboard information and creating catchy tracks that had everybody’s Spotify Wrapped trying a bit of completely different.
Then, one after the other, all seven members headed off for obligatory army service in South Korea.
However their comeback? Wild. Their fanbase, known as ARMY, is voracious and prepared, and the proof is within the cookie: BTS’ World Tour bought out, and on prime of that, they fully bought out their Oreo x BTS Cookies on the Oreo web site (together with the pre-sale) earlier than most of us might even get to checkout. However now the cookie collab is accessible in brick-and-mortar shops.
The flavour they selected is appropriately private: hotteok, a heat brown sugar-stuffed pancake fashionable in Korean avenue meals markets that BTS has fond childhood recollections of.
To honor their thirteenth anniversary as a bunch, BTS apparently designed all 13 distinctive embossments themselves, which already places this above different Oreo music collabs (taking a look at you, Selena Gomez: solely six particular designs? Ha!).
The embossments embrace issues just like the BTS gentle stick (a wand that pulses to the beat of their music), member names, Korean finger hearts, and love notes to ARMY. Three of the designs even piece collectively right into a hidden message – spoiler: BTS loves ARMY. Cute! The embossing itself can also be impressively crisp and clear. No unintentionally merged letters. Props!
The wafers are a pleasing lavender shade. Oreo’s first-ever purple cookie was created particularly to honor ARMY, since purple symbolizes love and belief inside the fandom after one member coined “I Purple You.”
Consuming it, although, it seems it’s a dyed golden Oreo, and that’s completely high-quality by me. Some cookies arrived cracked and/or damaged, boo, however most had been intact.
It smells like candy caramel, however the creme’s taste offers massive brown sugar boba vibes in the easiest way. The creme has a blended swirl of tan and white with little flecks all through. Scraping some with my entrance enamel, I spotted the flecks are sugary taste crystals that improve the entire expertise. Eaten complete, it’s dang good, and the cookie half nods to the pancake-y exterior of a hotteok.
That is most likely my favourite Oreo taste in an extended, very long time. In case you discover this restricted version taste, cop it!
