Oreo has created a new packaging system that stops children from stealing their parents’ cookies. They’re calling it kid repellent.

The outside of Oreo Thins bags now look like a package of Green Giant veggies, a Ford truck owner’s manual, a package of Haines’ t-shirts or a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook all to camouflage mom and dad’s cookies.

On Instagram and Twitter, Oreo has challenged fans to share their most creative Oreo Thins hiding spots using the hashtag “THINSProtectionProgram” for a chance to win one of the special-edition packages and $25,000.
