Crème Dreams: 12 Odd & Awesome Oreo Cookie Flavors

Crème Dreams: 12 Odd & Awesome Oreo Cookie Flavors: [ By Steve in Design & Products & Packaging. ]



Oreo cookies have been tantalizing our taste buds for a hundred & a half years. Not only are the iconic bite-size crème sandwich the most popular cookies in the USA today, they’re enjoyed around the world in a variety of occasionally awesome, often odd permutations. Here are a dozen of the awesomest and oddest.

Candy Corn Oreo Cookies

Just as television only came in black & white, Oreo cookies also once sported those two opposing non-colors. How times have changed, and Oreos have changed with them… though not necessarily for the better. Case in point: Candy Corn Oreos, coming to a Target store near you on September 10th, 2012 as a salute, tribute and marketing opportunity centered on Halloween.

Candy Corn has its lovers and haters so we can expect Candy Corn Oreos to similarly polarize the nation, albeit for a limited time only. Of course, there are those who despise anything Candy Corn and are taking this new flavor as a sign of the end times. Lighten up, Francis, it’s not the worst thing that could happen… that would be Circus Peanut Oreos.

Lemon Ice Oreo Bits Sandwiches

Snack shoppers in Japanese convenience stores coming across Lemon Ice Oreo Bits Sandwich cookies might recoil thinking they’re flavored with menthol but never fear, the “ice flavor” simply promises the cool, clean, citrus-y taste of a chilled lemon meringue pie. Moreover, the cookies may be bite-sized but they’re not “bits”, unless you’ve accidentally sat on the package while riding the subway.

Dulce de Leche Oreo Cookies

Don’t cry for me, Argentina, ’cause you’ve got Dulce de Leche Oreo cookies and we’re stuck with Candy Corn Oreos. What’s this “Dulce de Leche” of which we speak? In a nutshell, Dulce de Leche (roughly translated from Spanish as “candy of milk”) is a delicious South American treat made by simmering milk with sugar until the former partially caramelizes… and no nutshells are required.

Dulce de Leche Oreo cookies have appeared in the USA as a Limited Edition release from time to time but you have to stowaway aboard a tramp steamer to Buenos Aires to get ‘em 24/7/365. Just to rub it in, the people of the pampas also enjoy Oreo DUO Dulce de Leche & Banana any darn time they want.

Double-Fruit Peach & Grape Oreo Cookies

Oreo cookies landed on Chinese store shelves in 1996 and 10 years later, Oreo rules the roost as the best-selling cookie in the People’s Republic of China. Oreo’s rapid rise was no slam dunk though it took former Houston Rockets superstar Yao Ming’s talents to sell Chinese consumers on Oreo’s glory… that, and a reduction in sugar content. Having reached the top of the Chinese cookie mountain, Oreo’s are now spreading out with some enticing alternative flavors, such as Double-Fruit Peach & Grape.

Limited Edition Creamsicle Oreo Cookies

“You got your Creamsicle on my Oreo!” “You got your Oreo in my Creamsicle!” Two great tastes that taste great together? Nabisco thinks so, at least they do for a limited time. Creamsicle Oreo cookies are one of a number of ice cream flavored Oreos introduced in recent years but they stand out by virtue of referencing an actual name brand ice cream bar as opposed to garden-variety box ice cream.

Limited Edition Creamsicle Oreo cookies, product cross-pollination aside, don’t have much in common taste-wise with actual Creamsicles but you could always pop a box in the freezer just for the heck of it.

Green Tea Ice Cream Oreo Cookies

Ice cream and Oreos aren’t just an American obsession, just ask our cookie-lovin’ counterparts on the other side of the world. Green Tea Ice Cream Oreo cookies may not have a familiar childhood-resonating vibe but in China everyone of every age screams for ice cream… green tea variety. Count on Kraft China to lighten up on the sugar content while upping the adult-friendly flavor of green tea.

Rural Ruins: 20 Eerie Images of Abandonments

Rural Ruins: 20 Eerie Images of Abandonments: [ By Steph in Abandoned Places & Architecture. ]


In the last century, the human population has become increasingly urban, concentrating in city centers and suburbs. As younger generations leave and small farms are displaced by commercial agribusiness, rural properties fall into ruin – barns sagging, stables rotting, farmhouses standing like specters of the past. Because of their isolation, these structures are less likely than their urban counterparts to be home to squatters, or fall prey to vandals, so they can have the feel of time capsules. Here are 20 striking photographs of rural abandonments all over Europe, Britain and the Americas.


Abandoned Farm Near Antioch, California

Golden tree-spotted hills rise up around an abandoned farm in Antioch, California, complete with a barn, stables and a grain silo.

Abandoned Orphanage, France


(image via: boklm.eu)
A photographer calling himself ‘boklm’ stumbled upon this abandoned orphanage in a small village to the south of Paris. The facility seems to have closed sometime around 1990. He says, “We saw stables, a barn half collapsed, a tennis court, some offices, small houses, a small church, something like a restaurant or canteen, kitchens, a few other buildings with rooms.”

Once a Home, Ohio

Perhaps the most striking thing about this abandoned property in Pike County, Ohio is the curiously large pile of aluminum cans discarded in front of the house.

Moss-Covered Cottage in Ireland

An abandoned cottage with a roof nearly taken over by vegetation is bathed in eerie light in County Kerry, Ireland.

Forgotten House, Warren County, Delaware

Remnants of snow and a dark cloudy sky made this abandoned home within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area look even more sad.

Abandoned Stables, Pennsylvania

No longer home to horses, these rotting stables in rural Pennsylvania are rife with decay.

Barn Detail, Wisconsin

Abandoned Chapel

Photographer George Foster found a creepy old log chapel littered with leaves and dirt in the rural Adirondacks.

Farmhouse, Columbia County, Pennsylvania


(image via: nicholas_t)
What might once have been a beautiful farmhouse in Columbia County, Pennsylvania is now little more than a wooden skeleton, looking as if it might fall at any time.

Solitary House, Iowa


(image via: brainedge)
An abandoned home in the countryside of Iowa stands stark against the muted winter sky.

Farmhouse, Maryland


(image via: anna levinzon)
Here’s another farmhouse that was clearly once a beautiful home, and is now an empty shell awaiting demolition.

Fallen Shed, Ontario, Canada


(image via: mamonello)
This wooden shed in Ontario has clearly seen better days, but is still littered with the remnants of its former purpose.

Meyers Divers Airport Plane Nosecone Graveyard, Rural Michigan

A rural area in Michigan serves as a graveyard for decommissioned nosecones from jet planes at the Meyers Airport.

Pig and Grain Barn, North Dakota

This abandoned barn in North Dakota still looks idyllic for now, but once it starts falling apart, that beautifully weathered wood should definitely be reclaimed.

Abandoned Barn in Argentina

There’s not much left to this barn in the countryside of Argentina, and by the looks of those shrubs growing inside, it’s been empty for a while.

Il Grande Nulla: Luca Guadagnino a Hollywood per il film sul libro di James Ellroy

Il Grande Nulla: Luca Guadagnino a Hollywood per il film sul libro di James Ellroy:

E Luca Guadagnino fece il grande salto, arrivando ad Hollywood. Ma dopo il successo americano di Io sono l’amore era forse un po’ prevedibile. Il regista italiano ha firmato un contratto con l’agenzia americana UTA ed ha già un paio di progetti statunitensi davanti a se. Innanzitutto il già annunciato A Bigger Splash, remake de La piscina di Jacques Deray con Alain Delon e Romy Schneider.
La pellicola più “grossa”, tuttavia, sarà The Big Nowhere, ovvero la trasposizione cinematografica de Il Grande Nulla di James Ellroy. Il libro fa parte della “tetralogia di Los Angeles”: al cinema sono già arrivati il primo capitolo, Black Dahlia di Brian De Palma, e il terzo, L.A. Confidential di Curtis Hanson, mentre del quarto, White Jazz, se ne parla da tempo, ma senza successo.
Ambientato nella Los Angeles degli anni 50, durante le rivolte delle Zoot Suit (rivolte scoppiate tra i Marines e i messicani), Il Grande Nulla segue l’agente Danny Upshaw mentre indaga su una serie di omicidi a sfondo sessuale. Allo stesso tempo, l’uomo è costretto a denunciare anche i comunisti “nascosti” ad Hollywood. Nel suo cammino incrocerà altri personaggi: il tenente Mal Considine, l’ex poliziotto Buzz Meeks, e il sergente Dudley Smith…
Le riprese di A Bigger Splash sono fissate per l’inizio del 2013, mentre Guadagnino sta ultimando in questi giorni il suo documentario Bertolucci on Bertolucci. Poi dovrebbe cominciare la produzione de Il Grande Nulla. Vi ricordiamo infine che il regista italiano è anche il produttore del discusso remake di Suspiria ad opera di David Gordon Green. Tanti progetti all’orizzonte, per un Guadagnino sempre più a stelle e strisce…

Hunger Games – La Ragazza di Fuoco, riprese iniziate ed ecco tutto il cast!

Hunger Games – La Ragazza di Fuoco, riprese iniziate ed ecco tutto il cast!:

La Lionsgate Pictures ha annunciato con un comunicato stampa ufficiale l’inizio delle riprese di Hunger Games – La Ragazza di Fuocosequel di Hunger Games che verrà diretto da Francis Lawrence (Io Sono Leggenda). Il primo film, diretto da Gary Ross, lo scorso anno ha impressionato con incassi ai limiti del record negli Stati Uniti, dove ha raccolto quasi 410 milioni di dollari (700 nel mondo).
La fase delle riprese durerà ben quattro mesi, e si svolgeranno principalmente ad Atlanta (Georgia) e nei suoi dintorni. La produzione si sposterà poi sulle spiagge e nelle foreste delle Hawaii, che faranno da cornice per alcuni esterni della pellicola. Chi di voi ha letto il secondo romanzo di Suzanne Collins saprà che ci sarà una nuova arena e l’ambientazione delle Hawaii (dove tra l’altro è stato girato Lost per sei anni) non è casuale.
Katniss e Peeta nella parte iniziale dovranno partecipare al Tour dei Vincitori, che attraverserà tutti e dodici i Distretti di Panem, il mondo post-apocalittico nato dalle ceneri degli Stati Uniti. La ribellione è alle porte, e Capitol City sfodera la sua carta: un’edizione degli Hunger Games che si tiene ogni venticinque anni, ancor più crudele e memorabile.
Dopo l’ultimo annuncio, cogliamo l’occasione per un ultimo recap sul fantastico cast della pellicola. Ecco chi tornerà:
Jennifer Lawrence:Katniss Everdeen
Josh Hutcherson: Peeta Mellark
Liam Hemsworth: Gale Hawthorne
Elizabeth Banks: Effie Trinket
Stanley Tucci: Caesar Flickerman

Woody Harrelson: Haymitch Abernathy
Lenny Kravitz: Cinna
Donald Sutherland: Presidente Snow
Ed ecco i nuovi arrivi:
Philip Seymour Hoffman: Plutarch Heavensbee, il nuovo capo stratega degli Hunger Games
Sam ClaflinFinnick, Distretto 4. È tra i personaggi più amati della saga e avrà un ruolo chiave in questo sequel.
Jena Malone: Johanna Mason, Distretto 7. Altro personaggio molto amato nella saga, preziosa alleata ma molto testarda.
Jeffrey Wright: Beetee, Distretto 3. È esperto di elettronica e sarà essenziale per la sopravvivenza dei tributi nella nuova arena.
Amanda Plummer: Wiress, Distretto 3. È la compagna di Beetee e lo assisterà nell’arena.
Lynn Cohen: Mags, l’ottantenne vincitrice del Distretto 4 che si ritroverà a tornare nell’arena
Alan Ritchson: Gloss, Distretto 1. Favorito che combatte insieme alla sorella Cashmere
Stephanie Leigh Schlund: Cashmere, Favorita del Distretto 1. Combatte nell’arena con fierezza accanto al fratello Gloss.
Bruno Gunn: Brutus, Distretto 2. Brutale assassino, si allea con Enobaria nell’Edizione della Memoria minacciando seriamente tutti gli altri tributi.
Meta Golding: Enobaria, Distretto 2. Spietata favorita che insieme al compagno Brutus darà del filo da torcere a Katniss e avrà un ruolo chiave in particolare nella parte finale della pellicola.
E. Roger Mitchell: Chaff, Distretto 11, arriva dallo stesso distretto della piccola Rue.
Maria Howell: Seeder, Distrtto 11. Compagna di Chaff nell’arena.
Scritto dai premi Oscar Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3) e Simon Beaufoy (The Millionaire), The Hunger Games – La Ragazza di Fuoco uscirà in Italia in contemporanea con gli USA il 22 novembre 2013QUI trovate la fanpage italiana su Facebook.
