OREO O’s cereal is making a comeback after being shelved for 10 years

OREO is bringing back its cereal offering after a decade in the wilderness.

Post Consumer Brands and Mondelēz International have teamed up for the return of OREO O's, the cereal which was on the shelves during the 1990s and 2000s.

Originally launched in 1998, OREO O's have been off store shelves since 2007, until its return in June as a soft launch.

"Similar to the original cereal our fans loved, the new OREO O's® will provide a total sensory overload of chocolate and cookies and crème sure to satisfy established and new fans alike."

OREO O's started rolling out to select store shelves in June and will be available at stores nationwide from January next year.
