Renowned biscuiteer Lady Gaga celebrated the launch of her
Chromatica Oreos with an online scavenger hunt for sweet signed prizes.
Fresh after slaying the national anthem at Joe Biden’s inauguration, Gaga turned her attentions to her special range of lurid pink-and-green cookies.
The limited edition Lady Gaga Oreos hit shelves on Thursday (28 January), a business venture that has divided her loving fandom.
But even the most cynical Little Monsters would struggle to pass up the chance for a special pack autographed by the Mother Monster herself, especially when each one is valued at $125.
Beginning at 10.00 am ET on Thursday, the Oreo Twitter account posted a series of six cryptic clues leading to “hiding spots” on the site.

By: Jonah Engel Bromwich The team of people who come up with limited-edition Oreo flavours and collaborations is a half-dozen strong and extremely secretive. Their privacy is so tightly guarded, said Justin Parnell, senior director of the Oreo brand, that he could not even reveal the team s name.
But their efforts are made public every time Oreo announces a new variety. (The latest: a salmon-coloured cookie with malachite-green filling, released with Lady Gaga in honour of her 2020 album, Chromatica.) Their job is really how do we continue to excite our fans and drive growth through flavour innovation, Parnell said.
