OREOS and milk are a match made in heaven, and Japan's Panda OREOS offer a playful way for the two to interact. The Panda Oreos are available in several different varieties, each of which is stamped with a cuddly character doing a different activity. When cookie lovers fill in the lines of the pandas with milk, they take on their classic black and white coloring. Fans of the sandwich cookies will want to collect all of the varieties, which depict pandas napping, eating, painting, playing games and more.
These sandwich cookies are especially novel for the country, because according to Oreo maker Mondelez Japan, this is the first time that the famous engraving in Oreos is being stamped out with different patterns.
