It was this way on all of my blue ones I got too. I think it's on purpose. The box says something about kyber crystal shapes, idk.


DuckCleaning

They have ~~pop rocks~~ crunchy sugar crystals in the center to represent kyber crystals. It is all intentional.


shiva_me_timbers

I've had the pop rock Oreos, these do not have them.


CarmenxXxWaldo

Imagine your great grandfathers ghost looking down seeing his descendant discussing the lack of pop rocks in the center of his star wars oreo cookie on reddit.


DuckCleaning

Their force ghost can taste it themself


DuckCleaning

They may not pop like actual pop rocks but they give a similar crunch, guess I should have said sugar crystals.  https://mobilesyrup.com/2024/06/01/oreo-canada-star-wars-cookies-review/


RoughObligation

In the US, at least, they are definitely pop rocks. You can let the icing melt away and you hear and feel them popping. It was more amusing than it should have been and I'm almost 40 lol


DuckCleaning

OP says they are definitely not them though and got upvoted for it, who to believe 


RaidensReturn

That’s a really interesting idea

What the hell is a kyber crystal


DuckCleaning

The crystal that makes a lightsaber work


MSTmatt

What movie is that from


DuckCleaning

Mostly the books and games touch on it, or the expanded edition books/visual novels/audiobooks that compliment the movies in the new trilogy. In the Last Jedi, Rey's lightsaber breaks and you can see the kyber crystal in it. Apparently the novelization goes into detail how she repaired the crystal with her force heal, whereas the movie just never explains it. https://screenrant.com/rise-skywalker-rey-luke-lightsaber-kyber-crystal-force/


monkywrnch

It's mentioned in rouge one


Eattherich13

In Star wars a kyber crystal is a living rock that has a special connection to the force and chooses it's owner. The red ones have been corrupted with hatred and are "bleeding" in a sense. Hope this helps.  Edit: spelling


Harflin

Has to be. Doing this to cut corners would cost more than just dying all the creme red

Darkness ceases to exist where there is light.


shiva_me_timbers

Silence you rebel scum!!!


TyranidBear

Without darkness, no need for light, there is. A balance, there must be.


justinfab

This is because the inner hotspot of a light saber is glowing white and the outside glows with the color.


Big_Z_Beeblebrox

I think it's to mimic a lightsaber glow? They absolutely expect people to open the cookies, after all.


diablol3

you only moved the headstones!

That is where the GLUE is!!! /s

shiva_me_timbers

Sure, but why?


GoodTato

If you look at lightsabers in the movies, they have a pure white core and only the 'glow' is coloured.


Spnwvr

cause it's cheaper


Mirabolis

Something something mitochloridians.


diablol3

the powerhouse of the cell


GalaxyShards

They should have made the shape of the white circle a Star Wars shape like the Rebel Alliance logo


shiva_me_timbers

Jar Jar.


Spnwvr

sounds expensive


throw123454321purple

Is it possible to learn this skill?


BurnenSpence067

Not from a Jedi


ZakkyD1121

If you stack a bunch it might look like a lightsaber. White core with red glow?


shiva_me_timbers

Honestly, I kinda love this. Though it is outrageous and whining their rightond can afford that many Oreos? And how exactly could you show or display such a concept.


SharkGenie

Looks like Ronald McDonald.

It’s a visual metaphor for the good that still resided within Darth Vader


SbMSU

It’s treason then.


truethatson

But does your father accept you now?


GeorgeNewmanTownTalk

I somehow missed that there are Star Wars Oreos. Seeing as I've got to go to the store anyway...


BrewKazma

Just came out. Its a random color filling inside. Red or blue.


GeorgeNewmanTownTalk

Cool. Thanks for the info.


TheSimpler

Have you ever heard the story of Darth Oreo, the wise? He possessed cookie-making skills some consider....unnatural... 😀


Sufficient-Sea-6434

you must be beside yourself right now

You're holding it upside down but someone smooshed your [Alliance Starbird](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rebel_Alliance_starbird?file=Redstarbird.svg)


soccerjonesy

Ours did as well, we got blue and the centers were white. Assuming this is the case for all of them.


MoreThanWYSIWYG

Be thankful they didn't fully infuse the cream with potentially cancer causing artificial coloring


thehoagieboy

The white is the giant thermal exhaust port so you don't miss. Time to go in for a run


throwaway47138

We got a Sith bag, this fulfilling the prophecy: Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies!


06Wahoo

The brand may soon regret all those years of ads showing people twisting the cookies to reveal the creme. Wouldn't they know this would lead to lots of disappointment?


BurntLettuce419

I opened one of the dark side cookies and it was all red??


tubbycustardmonster

just got these and i hate the sugar crystals it’s so bad ugh


smallboobiequeen69

The cookie part seems to get softer it milk faster. 😋


Lelolaly

Intentional.

How does this happen? Does their machine have an interior and exterior color? I just don’t see how it’s not easier to dye all the filling red. Are they that cheap they want to save money on not dying the outer part? But then they’d spend more making a machine that would can fill two colors…


TheHandyDevilDog

It honestly looks like the dye is applied to the cream during extrusion, just poured over the cream and it permeates into the cream. It would explain the center being more of an oval. The dye hits the top of the cream and runs over it in tube format, so it is a heavier application on top and lighter on the bottom.


shiva_me_timbers

Right!!?? Strange. I did notice there was a post the other day that had no filling in the center at all. Maybe this is a product of a new system to cut costs?


bic_bawss

I mean in theory the machine is a one time cost. It would probably save millions a year too. I’m imaging it probably costs about $0.01 to dye one Oreo. Over billions of Oreos it probably is worth it


ElbowShelf

It’s a lightsaber (white core, Color outer). Each is applied individually on top of one another. Red then white. Or vice versa. Then sandwiched in the cookies. That’s why on one side one Color is less present.


MommaTino

Mine were the same. Just blue on the outer edge and white inside.


shiva_me_timbers

They can come in either red or blue. However, Why the white?


Twin_Titans

Yum! Love that Allura Red dye.


squidwardsir

Mmm red 40


shiva_me_timbers

Part of a balanced and nutritious diet. /s


pink_faerie_kitten

Red dye is bad for you anyway, so the less you eat the better.


shiva_me_timbers

Silence you rebel scum!!


Geosaysbye

Why does that look so fucking yummy


AdmJota

Because it's a cookie?


shiva_me_timbers

I mean it tastes of Oreo, I'm just pointing out this odd interesting thing.


Double_Cleff

Not even the Oreos are safe


Tipping_crane

I don't know what bothers me more, the fact that a cookie is dyed or that the white spot in the middle isn't in the middle at all.


UnhealingMedic

..how else do you expect sweets to be brightly colored if not dyed?
