For Pokémon, the phrase "Gotta catch 'em all!" defines the core values of the entire fandom. The immense popularity of the franchise was showcased in 2016 when the entire world was busy playing Niantic's AR game Pokémon GO, which remains relevant to this day.

There have been several instances where collectables from this beloved franchise have been in massive global demand, causing them to sell out within minutes. On September 8, a limited-edition collaboration dropped when Nabisco's sandwich-cookie division Oreo released Pokémon-themed limited edition cookies. The collaboration was to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise.

Oreos offered a short timeframe for customers to pre-order up to a limit of three boxes of these limited edition cookies. The orders were slated to start shipping on September 13.

However, since the demand for the limited edition Oreos is high with no confirmation of future availability, the product is "flying off the shelves."
