Oreo Teamed Up With HBO To Recreate The Iconic Game Of Thrones Opening Credits With Nearly 3,000 Cookies

With April already here, the 2 year-long wait is almost over and the final season of Game of Thrones is less than 2 weeks away. To celebrate this monumental event, Oreo teamed up with HBO to release a special line of treats, new limited-edition Oreo cookies. And if you’re not caught up with the latest seasons, beware, spoilers ahead!

The cookies feature some of the elements that any classic Game of Thrones fan would recognize and love. The unique embossments on the chocolate wafer show the banners of 3 remaining houses still fighting for the Throne and the true enemy in the battle for life and death.

Fans of the show trying the new cookies might come across the three-headed dragon of House Targaryen, the fierce lion of House Lannister, the lone direwolf of House Stark or the chilling face of the Night King. According to Oreo representatives, some very lucky fans might get a special surprise for pledging their fealty on social media using #GameofCookies and #ForTheThrone hashtags.

But just dropping a limited-edition line of cookies for such a grandiose show wouldn’t cut it without something truly exciting, and we’re sure both Oreo and HBO are well-aware of that. That’s why they recreated the already-iconic show’s opening credits sequence using Oreo cookies. In fact, Oreo reported that a total of 2,750 cookies was used to create this black (brown?) and white masterpiece.

The video features the seats of the remaining houses, as well as the Wall up in the North, that, unfortunately, did not hold back the army of dead as we’ve last seen it. As the main title song, composed by Ramin Djawadi, hits the first notes, we see the ‘oreo-fied’ King’s Landing rise from a field of crème filling, with the towers of the Red Keep circling up, bearing the banner of House Lannister.

As the camera shifts to the island east of King’s Landing, we’re presented with the cookie version of Dragonstone, the ancestral seat of House Targaryen. Many dragons once roamed the island and shadows of Stannis’ rule still haunt the castle, but the Oreo version of the seat clearly indicates who is in power there now, with a cookie embossment of Daenerys’ sigil, a three-headed dragon.

The last area the video showcases is the North, where the seat of House Stark, Winterfell, is located. The rising towers expose the cookie with the Stark sigil, a direwolf. The last area shown is Castle Black with the rising wall in the background.

I have a hard time with artworks like these because I see them and think "All the people starving in the world and this is probably going to be thrown in the trash when they are done making it." Using recycled items or everyday items would be awesome. But please stop wasting food.

Here is my issue with this.... It could of all been computerized instead of wasting... And fed other children without te means. It isn't the healthiest but at least kids can be kids if they were treated to these 3000 preps. This is talent but a waste. Art with food and wasting it, isn't art. It's narcissistic click bait
