Milkshake With Oreo Toppings (Iceland) By @Cinabar

My latest grocery order was from Iceland, and of course I had to search for new milkshake flavours. Most summers I discover plenty of new varieties in the shops, but this year I’ve really struggled. I’ve been keeping a proper eye out and trying different supermarkets, so I was pleased when I spotted this Milkshake With Oreo Toppings.

 

It comes as an all-in-one cup with a drink and a section of toppings. I took off the lid on the toppings side and found the instructions underneath: open the milk section, open the toppings, then shake them together. I had visions of this getting messy after removing the foil seal, but I decided to give it a go.

The toppings looked like crushed Oreo biscuit pieces, without the filling. The milk section had a slightly grey colour which wasn’t very appealing, and it was also quite thin in texture.

I poured the toppings into the milk, put the lid back on, and gave it a gentle shake. Visually it seemed fine, with cookie pieces floating on top.

Taste-wise, it was a bit of a let-down. The biscuit bits made the drink lumpy, but not in a good way, it felt more like accidentally swallowing chunks rather than enhancing the drink. The milk was watery, and the biscuit flavour didn’t taste quite right. Overall, it was sweet and vaguely biscuity, but with an odd aftertaste that didn’t work for me. By the time I got to the bottom, the Oreo bits had turned into a soggy sludge, which didn’t help matters. Sadly, this isn’t the exciting new milkshake flavour of the summer for me, but I’ll keep searching!
