Post Malone’s limited-edition Oreo collab might look like just another celebrity-branded snack, but it’s a snapshot of how food culture works in 2025. Launching nationwide on February 3, 2025, with a presale starting January 27, this collaboration features nine unique cookie designs inspired by Post Malone’s world.
From Caramelo Sliced and butter cookies to a chocolate cookie and a fun Goldage, it is a sweet reflection of how gastronomic culture mixes fame, creativity and connection.
“I can’t, they let me make my own Oreo cookie,” Malone said of the collaboration. “This is the first time Oreo has twisted the cream on the cookie, and they called it. “Combining gamified readings and the “Taste Twist” virtual experience, the collaboration delivers what Malone calls “the most productive Oreo ever. “
In 2025, food culture will be about combining nostalgia and new ideas. Think about the first time you opened an Oreo or the pleasure of dipping one in milk. This feeling of comfort? This is not a coincidence. Brands like Oreo use nostalgia to tap into those shared memories while also putting a modern twist on their classics. Post Malone’s Oreo takes this formula to the next level, combining nostalgia and personality.
Each cookie is embossed with designs inspired by Malone’s world—like tattoos, music symbols, and personal motifs—adding a layer of storytelling to the snacking experience. As a report from Mintel explains, nostalgia marketing works because it reminds us of simpler days, creating an emotional connection that feels grounding in an ever-changing world.
Gone are the days when a famous face was enough to sell a product. Today, it’s about creating connections that feel real. Post Malone isn’t just relying on his celebrity status—it leans on his approachable, relatable vibe.
According to a study in Journal of Advertising endorsements work best when the celebrity’s image aligns naturally with the brand. It’s called the “match-up hypothesis,” and it’s why Post Malone’s laid-back style fits so well with Oreo’s playful, nostalgic identity.
But there’s more. As Mintel points out, nostalgia adds an extra layer of emotional pull. In times of uncertainty, it feels good to go back to the familiar, and brands that tap into that comfort—while keeping things fresh—are the ones that stick with consumers.
Food trends were slow. Right now? They explode during the night. Platforms like Tiktok have changed everything backwards, turning creators into the new trends.
A food examination found that user-generated content outperforms celebrity endorsements when it comes to relatability. Think of viral trends like whipped coffee or baked feta paste—they didn’t want an A-lister to explode. For brands, this means localizing tactics to harness that same power while keeping their campaigns engaging and authentic.
Even with the strength of a star like Post Malone, a collaboration wants to be fresh, fun and according to what is happening on social networks to cause sensation.
Imagine mixing your own flavors of Oreo: full caramel with birthday cake or perhaps peanut butter with strawberries. With the “Taste Twist” enthusiastic creators delight in this new flavor.
This kind of interactivity is no accident. When brands invite consumers to participate, the connection deepens. People feel part of the story, not just the audience. It’s a smart way to build loyalty in a world where trends shine but quickly.
Post Malone’s Oreo collaboration is just one example of how celebrities and food brands are evolving together. Consumers need more than a flashy name – they’re looking for original, non-public endorsements.
The most successful collaborations balance culture and innovation. They play with nostalgia and invite the audience to live the experience. As dining trends increase and customer expectations rise, the key to staying applicable will be finding new tactics to make every bite count. .
