Brand of the Day: Yes, Oreo Churros Will Soon Officially Be a Thing

Yes, the crispy, chewy, churro fried dough will have Oreo cookies inside each bite, thanks to deal between Mondelez International and J&J Snack Foods Corp. "As the leading churro manufacturer, we are excited about our new relationship with the world-famous Oreo cookie brand," Jerry Law, J&J Snack Foods senior vice president, said in a statement. "Oreo cookie and churro fans alike will not be disappointed in the latest snacking mashup."

Only one catch: It will be sold nationwide, but we don't know when it's coming. Maybe that's part of the strategy. Getting people excited and then making them wait.

SCORPIO: A better mood is just a tweet away. No one will judge you for wanting to celebrate with a cookie.
