In what may be one of the most unexpected pairings in the snack world, cookie giant Oreo has announced a new Sour Patch Kids candy flavour set to be released on May 6.

The two snack brands announced the candy-flavoured collaboration on Wednesday via social media.

The announced collab was met with overwhelming support and anticipation, even attracting friendly banter among competing snack brands.

In recent times, Oreo has experimented with twists to its traditional chocolate cookie flavour, such as teaming up with Ritz for a limited-edition combo in 2022 and a cotton candy flip in 2023.
