As it was for Starbucks, 2015 was a banner year for new Oreo flavors and news (remember Trump's boycott?). Keep reading for a look back at what happened in the world of America's favorite cookie in the past year.

Best: Cotton Candy Oreo

Cotton Candy Oreos, a Spring '15 flavor exclusive to Target, tasted exactly how you think they would, which is to say like condensed cotton candy and pure joy.

Best: Oreo Thins

There were many reasons to love Oreo Thins in 2015. Not only was this wafer-thin take on the Oreo a win, but it's possible to eat more of them without getting a stomach-ache, thanks to their slimmed-down size.

Best: Red Velvet Oreo

Best: Red Velvet Oreo

Notable for including the first new cookie flavor since the Golden Oreo (typically only the filling is different), Red Velvet Oreos were a must try for fans of the classic cake.

Best: Toasted Coconut Oreo

Best: Toasted Coconut Oreo

While the texture was not-surprisingly quite different, Toasted Coconut Oreos, a Fall limited-edition release, were otherwise a spot-on representation of the classic American dessert.

Meh: Oreo Churros

Meh: Oreo Churros

The internet freaked out over the news of Oreo Churros, relased in Fall '15. Our verdict: while they're absolutely delicious when piping-hot, they have an extremely short half-life, quickly transforming to a rubbery, cardboard-like texture as they cool.

Meh: Brownie Batter Oreo

Meh: Brownie Batter Oreo

Brownie Batter Oreos had us scratching our heads; do we really need a new slightly tweaked take on classic chocolate Oreos? While not bad, we'll be sticking with actual brownie batter the next time a craving hits.

Meh: Donald Trump's Boycott of Oreos

Meh: Donald Trump's Boycott of Oreos

In August, Donald Trump publicly boycotted Oreos after learning that Nabisco would be moving some of the operations from Chicago to Mexico, at the loss of American jobs. While there may be some truth to Trump's reasoning, many felt that it was a semiricidulous publicity stunt — plus, let's be real, nothing can replace America's favorite cookie.

Meh: S'mores Oreo

Meh: S'mores Oreo

We, like many, had extremely high hopes for S'mores Oreos, aka S'moreos. While they're a respectable cookie in their own right, we have to give them a meh rating, as they're not a very accurate representation of the classic Summer treat.

Worst: Caramel Apple Oreo

Worst: Caramel Apple Oreo

While a small minority appreicated the salty-sweet flavor of Caramel Apple Oreo, most found the combination of artificial sour apple and buttery cookie to be odd at best.
