OREO ditches iconic spherical form as followers braced for biscuit’s edgy new look

The iconic Oreo biscuit is reportedly changing its shape, with the classic round cookie set to become a perfect square – and the brand has shared a first look at the new design

OREO is dropping a bombshell on cookie lovers everywhere – the classic round biscuit is going square, and the internet’s buzzing with the news. As rumors stacked up online, OREO came clean, confirming the gossip is bang on – but not everyone can get their hands on this geometrical treat just yet.

Eager fans have been given a sneak peek thanks to some cheeky teases on OREO UK and Ireland’s Instagram, showing off the iconic OREO look but now with four smart corners.

A spokesperson said: “We love playfulness here at OREO so why not play with our iconic shape? We look forward to our fans seeing OREO from a new angle.

We can’t reveal more just yet, but plans are taking shape. Snacking fans should keep their eyes peeled for more and we’ll be sure to circle back on the mystery soon”.

There’s heaps of speculation about what the square OREO means and where it’s headed, but you won’t find it in stores – for now, it’s strictly eyes only.

Fans instantly went wild on social media, with one writing: “I WANT A SQUARE COOOOKIEEEEEEEEEEEE BRAZIL IM DEVASTATED.” And a second commented: “For whatever reason that actually looks even better than the OG oreo.”

A third posted: “PLEASE RELEASE THESE. I would buy them so fast.” And a fourth wrote: “Wahhhh this is big.”

The clip racked up 108 likes in just 20 hours, with the vast majority of people commenting begging Oreo bosses to make the square cookie a reality.

However, no confirmation has been given, with the clip being captioned with a playful yet unhelpful comment.

They wrote: “Don’t mind me, just testing my SHAPE shifting skills.”
