Chips Ahoy, that favorite of lunch boxes everywhere, is taking a cue from Oreo and testing out some new flavors for a limited time, and we think you'll be intrigued, especially those that love a good frozen banana. According to The Impulsive Buy, Chips Ahoy will sell its traditional chocolate chip cookies and stick "naturally-flavored" banana chunks within. Unfortunately they are not of the chewy variety, but the classic crunch will have to do.

Chips Ahoy! is a brand of chocolate chip cookies, baked and marketed by Nabisco, a subsidiary of Mondelez International, that debuted in 1963 They are widely sold in the United States, Latin America, South Africa, Canada, Spain, Portugal, China, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and many more.

The Blue Bag Type is also sold in the Stockman store chain in Latvia and are marketing in large packages of 9, 18, 27, or in various small packages. It is the second-best-selling cookie in the United States after Oreo, which is also a Nabisco-branded cookie, with an average of $355 million in sales per year. By the 1980s, several different varieties of the cookie snack were being baked and shipped to grocery stores: chewy, sprinkled, and striped.

In the 1960s and early 1970s, Chips Ahoy bags featured comic strips of Cookie Man, a superhero character who subdued various cookie-devouring creatures, such as Fruit Fly or Big Wig. His alter-ego was Mort Meek, who was always seen "counting the 16 chips" in his Chips Ahoy cookie when he was attacked by one of the creatures, at which point he slipped into a phone booth, locker room, restroom, etc., to become Cookie Man and finish off the villain in a Superman vein. These characters were also the subject of Chips Ahoy's concurrent TV commercial campaign, and were both played by the same actor.
