I liked Hydrox better.
LOL ... you must be a registered independent or Ron Paul supporter. ;D
did Hydrox go down? I haven’t shopped the cookie aisle much over the past several years.
There’s one in every crowd.
.....I liked Hydrox better....
I’ll pick your post to respond and question.
I too preferred Hydrox.
There are several histories given noting that Keebler took over the brand. It is my recollection that at sometime prior to that event, sunshine changed the recipes for Hydrox and after that they were not as good.
I don’t recall the date, but after 1980.
I wrote the company a letter advising they had made a poor decision by the change to what was an Oreo clone, having the slightly bitter flavor characteristic of Oreo.
I got a very long letter, signed in ink, boiled down to they had to change because that was what customers demended.
It’s a quarter centuary lated and I’m still not over it.
Do you recall the reciope change?
The official Hydrox page doesn’t even know it happened.
Years ago, Salerno made an awesome chocolate covered graham cracker. After they went out of production, I tried several others, but they never came close.
I thought I was the only one.
Actually, they would freak this English chick out because the cookie part is even sweeter than Oreos.
I know you'll take a lot of flak for saying that, but IMNSHO you're 100% correct. Oreos are a cheap imitation of Hydrox, which were a truly great cookie appreciated by all with taste and discernment. There's only one thing for which Oreos are suited: at our county fair we had piglet races, and the lucky oinker that crossed the finish line first got to the through for his reward, an Oreo.
So do I!...although when you think of it, Hydrox is such a strange name for a cookie, eh.
