Oreo x Star Wars: Here's when special edition cookies will hit the shelves
These special cookies have either red or blue creme filling infused with “kyber” sugar crystals found in a Lightsaber.
Oreo has unveiled limited-edition Star Wars cookies as part of its collaboration with Lucasfilm. The special Oreo variety comes with two different cremes, each symbolising the Dark and the Light side. What makes it more special is the fact that both varieties come under the same packaging. This means you never know which side you're on until you open the pack.
