This is a troll:
They’re toys that have been around for decades and are beloved by almost everyone especially my brother. While he’s never actually said anything about them, I know he adores troll toys.
Something else he loves is the K-Pop band Red Velvet, shown here:
You can imagine how excited he must have been when he heard that these two things he loved had combined into one! Yes my friends, Red Velvet were ‘in’ the recent Trolls film:
I don’t doubt Bernard threw caution to the wind and ran to the cinema to see this film but since I loathe trolls and am ambivalent toward Red Velvet I barely gave the movie a thought. However a particular piece of licensing did catch my eye, and that was these Oreos:
Green-cream Oreos with glitter and popping candy?!? This is what it means to live in the 21st century!
So many cookies with delicious sugary cream. Don’t you just want to try one? You can even enjoy them in four different designs:
What are they like? In a word: heavenly. The slightly chemical taste of the cream is completely overridden by the astonishing experience of the poprocks and the thought that even though it’s not visible you’re eating glitter as well:
During lockdown I religiously bought a pack of these every two weeks and we wolfed them down like starving beasts. Alas they are now gone from our stores, another victim of corona. They’ll never be forgotten.
If you happen to find a pack on shelves in your area don’t hesitate to buy them. These are by a very wide margin the best Oreos ever, and highly recommended 🙂
I despise trolls in all their forms. 😐
Hopefully Red Velvet got paid a lot for this.
This blog entry is the ultimate in troll-ing.
