Let me wrest my fingers from my blue Cookie Monster costume and clear this up.

I don’t care whether Hydrox are half the price of Oreo’s, I will always find the Oreo’s, as they’re by far the better combination of texture and taste.

Always preferred the Hydrox. Had it first as a kid in Queens NY.

I grew up in a Hydrox home and would gladly buy them again if I could find them.

That’s an old story in the retail grocery biz.
Jell-O and Campbells Soup produce many flavors that
hardly anyone buys, specifically to crowd their competitors
off the shelf.

My favorite from Sunshine Biscuit Co. was the Golden Nuggets.
In the sixties with my Brother working for SBC we always had our choice of product. Hydrox was second place to the Nuggets.
I hope Keebler is eyeballing this thread.

Going to court this case will be a tale of twisted fates. Jurors being milked for all they have while being dunked daily in reports from sweet talking lawyers who crumble at the sight of pressure.

Yep, corporate espionage in retail is old news.

But funny to watch.

Besides, they’re kosher.

I suppose that's why this story was broken by the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Odd that Mondolez does this but let’s Cheez-It get by with crowding out their superior cheese cracker Cheese-Nips.

Cheese-Nips make a great snack with peanut butter!

I had a Boss at one time that loved those things. All of us that worked for him bought him a box at Christmas to stock him up for the year. ;)
