Oreo Lets Consumers Vote On Next Flavor
Mondelēz’s Oreo has launched a consumer voting promotion (began Aug. 13, 2026) asking fans to choose among three speculative flavors—banana pudding, deep-fried cookies and chicken and waffles. Oreo says whichever flavor wins will be stocked in stores next year for a limited time. The campaign is positioned as a way to reduce product-launch risk by letting consumers directly influence which new flavor reaches retail. Oreo marketing director Sally Barton told Adweek the brand has not yet decided which flavor it will ultimately launch before the vote.
A consumer voting promotion by a major consumer brand is notable for brand marketing practice but has limited impact on the wider AdTech/MarTech industry.
