Oreo Released A New Flavor To Help You Celebrate National Doughnut Day

June 2 is National Doughnut Day and Oreo really wants to help you celebrate.

I mean, what better way to celebrate a day dedicated to doughnuts than with... cookies. Right?

OK, let me explain. Oreo just released a new flavor (yes, another one) and it combines the best of both worlds: the flavor of a jelly doughnut with your favorite cream-filled Oreo cookie.

The new Jelly Donut flavor -- which is exclusive to Walmart stores and available this weekend-- features a Golden Oreo cookie, raspberry center, and custard outer ring for a taste so delicious you'll keep snacking on them way past today.

But in case you aren't really a jelly doughnut kind of snacker (really?), there's no need to worry.

Oreo is having a very busy summer flavor-wise. Last month, the brand released the limited-edition Firework Oreos, which you should probably stock up on seeing as the Fourth of July is right around the corner.

Then, a couple weeks ago, we learned Oreo is bringing back a fan-favorite from last summer: Blueberry Pie!

The new Jelly Donut flavor is just another sweet addition to an extensive list of crazy concoctions cooked up by the tastemakers at Nabisco.

I mean there's already been Strawberry Shortcake, Fruity Crisp, Cinnamon Bun, and Swedish Fish flavors -- just to name a few.

If you're thinking, "What will they possibly think of next?" you should really turn around and ask yourself because Oreo wants to put you in charge.

From now until July 14 you can enter the #MyOreoCreation contest for your chance to choose a new flavor that will actually appear in stores in 2018.

All you need to do is submit your ideas through Twitter or Instagram using #MyOreoCreation and #Contest.

PS. The winner also gets $500,000 and VIP access to upcoming releases and top-secret prototypes, so that's A LOT of incentive.

Happy National Doughnut Day, everybody!
