Brace yourself, the product tie-ins are coming. There's that King in the North beer from Brewery Ommegang. There's White Walker, the scotch from, of course, Johnnie Walker. There are also MLB Bobbleheads, an Adidas shoe, and all manner of themed bars and hotels and tours out there capitalizing on the success of Game of Thrones, everyone's favorite HBO series about dragons and incest. And if all of that wasn't enough for you, it looks like we're even getting Game of Thrones Oreos.
Oreo hinted at a collaboration to come via a vague Instagram post, sent out earlier this week to its 2.5 million followers with the caption: "Cookies are coming." In the short teaser clip, the name of the cookie spreads out into #ForTheThrone, which appears to be the official hashtag for the show's final season. Other than that, there's not much to go on, but it's a safe bet that we'll be getting cookies before GOT is back on TV.
The brand is no stranger to partnerships; Oreo recently collaborated with XBox, Jeep, and even Mickey Mouse. Teaming up with HBO for the final season of the biggest show on television just seems like the natural thing to do.
Details on any new Oreos are yet to be revealed, but Season 8 premieres April 14. Prepare to snack.
