Overview

The creator, Post Malone, is depicted as a lone survivor in a post-apocalyptic world who discovers a glowing, magical rock. He takes this rock to an industrial forge, where he goes through an epic, cinematic process of heating, hammering, and molding it into a new type of Oreo cookie. The video culminates in him triumphantly creating 'The Best Oreo Ever,' followed by a reveal of the actual product and its packaging.
