After months of keeping us in the dark, Oreo finally revealed the flavor of theirMystery Oreo, and it’s not what we guessed it would be.
Well, it turns out that we were thoroughly incorrect. The Mystery Flavor is in fact…Churro.
In an email to PEOPLE, a rep for Oreo gave us some background information pertaining to the new cookie.
Clearly other people also thought the flavor had something to do with graham crackers, so for all intents and purposes, we’ll be considering ourselves runners-up.

TheOreo websiterevealed that the winner of their Mystery Oreo sweepstakes and $50,000 cash prize has been notified directly, but did not give any more information regarding his or her whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Oreo fans have responded to the news of the flavor with both enthusiasm and confusion…apparently, a lot of people correctly guessed the flavor but did not win the prize.
Nicole LovarofBachelor in Paradisejokingly joined in on the fun and commented on Oreo’s Instagram post, “That’s so strange I just refreshed my email and it’s not there?? Hello? Oreo? It’s me.” Others wondered where they could find the Churro cookies in stores.
