…in the not so distant past, in the land of South Korea, Oreos were a mere figment of a foreigner’s imagination.  It was a dark time where Oreos had to be obtained in care packages from home, visits to other countries, or succumbing to eating Cameos- Oreo knockoffs.

 

Little did I know that upon my return to South Korea, Oreos would be plentiful sitting on store shelves as if they had been there with the rest of America’s food imperialism for years.   Even though you can’t find my personal favorites Golden Oreos (sad), or Double Stuffed (double sad), more than just plain Oreos are available.

Today I found these:

Blueberry Ice Cream Oreos:

Now I’ve heard talk of Birthday Cake Oreos and now Candy Corn Oreos since I’ve been gone, but not Ice Cream.  Is this something they have back at home or just other places?  Over in Korea, we now have such things as Extreme BBQ meat flavored Doritos, which I assume is a regional thing, but Ice Cream Oreos?

 
I was so intrigued, I had to buy them.  I was thankful they were not bright purple on the inside.  But they were really sweet, with a faint hint of blueberry. I don’t know if I’d buy another package, but I’ll definitely eat the ones I have.

 

Just another way Korea is becoming more like home.  And now with Gangnam Style sweeping even the U.S., home is becoming a little bit more like Korea.
