Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer. It makes the broken look beautiful and unique again. A team at Oreo cleverly references this art form with their Oreo cream, which can be used to expertly repair (and then eat) broken cookies.

    If Oreos doesn’t make this a new product line, they’ll be blowing a great marketing opportunity.
