Oreo has some good news for anyone who has ever been wronged by a cookie monster.

With the new "Oreo Thins Protection Program," never again will an innocent cookie die at the greedy hands of kids, roommates, siblings, or spouses. (Or Muppet characters, for that matter. 😂) This clever campaign includes Oreo thins—the crispier, adult version of the fan-favorite cookie—that are cleverly packaged to ward off unwanted snackers.

The popular cookie company partnered with Green Giant, Ford, Hanes, and Better Homes & Gardens to design new packaging and, honestly? It's genius. By using the logos of these non-cookie-related brands, the disguised packs appear as ordinary household items: a frozen riced veggie cauliflower medley, a Ford owner's manual, a 3-pack of tagless t-shirts, and a cookbook.

When viewed from the side, the sandwich cookie packaging is completely deceiving. Now, you can stash your treats in the freezer, glove department, dresser, or bookshelf to trick dessert thieves. Your resident Cookie Monster will have no idea that underneath the sneaky disguise are sleeves of Oreos!

If you can't get your hands on the super limited-edition pack, you can always take DIY inspo from the ingenious scheme. Try getting crafty and camouflaging your favorite snacks on your own! Plus, the Nabisco brand is constantly coming out with fun flavors (like the latest apple cider donut Oreos), so don't worry if you can't snag one of these special packs.
