Hydrox are not the same kind of cookie ~ not even in the same class.
The original formula contained LARD - a naturally occurring saturated fat that makes wonderful cookies and is nutritionally superior to the artificial hydrogenated oils they currently use. The change to the trans-fat-laden hydrogenated oils is because the P.C. nutritionists thought any veggie oil was "better" than any animal fat. They were wrong.
So I'm with you on sticking with the *original* recipe.
A kinda-sorta Dr. Price ping
Hm, sounds like oreo ice cream. *LOL*
(Randomish thought: I have a friend who really likes limp, greasy french fries. Then again, he is probably in the minority.)
Oreo's vs Hydrox.
Twenty years from now being able to eat real Oreos will be more important than on what day a terrorist is captured!
They bent to the Trial Lawyers.
A few years ago, the TLA had a conference in Massachusetts. They were planning the junk food shake down.
Kraft first to fall?
Kraft in their infinite wisdom is not going to give us Oreo consumers an option; it is "New Oreos" or nothing!
Don't you just love it, they are going to screw with the original recipe, remove real Oreo's from the market and give us ersatz Oreos in their place.
Funny you should post this. I went to Arby's today and I SWEAR the Arby's sauce is NOT THE SAME! It tasted way sweeter with no tang.
Ruined my whole Friday!! :)
I hate change.
>>>What I'd like to know is where Kraft is testmarketing their new low carb Oreos.
Hopefully on the Trial Lawyers.
Anyone who likes Hydrox is a freak! ;-)
Ding, Ding Ding, we have a winner! Give that man a Cupie Doll!
LoL.
Well, there's NO comparison. And any SANE person knows that! ((now where's my milk?))
Ding, Ding Ding, we have anaother winner! Give that man a Cupie Doll!
"Since when were cookies supposed to be a source of nutrition?"
My 17 year old would vehemently disagree with you!!!

Oreo Cookies
COOKIE WAFERS:
1 (18.25 oz) box Dark Fudge Cake Mix
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons shortening
CREME FILLING:
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup shortening (no substitution)
3 tablespoons hot water
Preheat oven to 325F. Blend all ingredients; then knead with your hands until it is pliable like dough. Form dough into 3/4 inch balls and press flat, 1/2 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bottom of a glass works nice for this. Bake 4 to 6 minutes or until cookies are crunchy. I should think you could refrigerate the dough in cylinder shaped rolls for a couple of hours and slice 1/8 inch thick, as well.
Let cookies cool on sheets.
Combine filling ingredients and mix well. Form into balls about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter, again using your hands. Sandwich one filling in the center of two cookies and carefully press down until the filling spreads almost to the edge.
Makes 2 dozen cookies (4 dozen wafers)

According to this, the lo carb Oreos have been discontinued.
