Oreo Flew 5 Giant Drones Over New York City to Recreate the Famous Milk Dunk

Cookie brand's latest marketing stunt

If you’re in New York City today, watch out—a cookie-shaped drone may be floating over your head.

For its newest marketing stunt timed for National Oreo Day and the brand’s 105th birthday, Oreo put cookie costumes on five drones and flew them over the skyline. Dubbed the “Drone Dunk,” the drones dropped cookies into cups of milk set up on a barge alongside the East River. Per a statement from the brand, some cookies were dropped from the drones at the same height as the Statue of the Liberty, which for the record is 305 feet tall.
