Are you an Oreo person or a Hydrox person? I guess I should change that to "were" because the Hydrox cookie is no more.

Now, this might not be news to everyone, since it happened in 2003! But Kellogg's was so low-key about it that a lot of people simply didn't realize it (besides hardcore Hydrox fans, of course). The Wall Street Journal investigated and found out that it was discontinued five years ago after the company realized they couldn't compete with Oreos. The interesting thing is that several people still say they see them once in a while, in stores and on airplanes.

I have to admit that I'm an Oreo person, and I think the reason why I never bought Hydrox was because I just thought they were a knockoff and tasted like Oreos. Now I wish they'd come back so I can try them again. Supposedly the cream in the middle was less sweet?

When I was a child I preferred the Hydrox cookies. Maybe they were cheaper and I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Now don't eat many cookies. My taste buds have change. Cookies taste sweeter.

Never could figure out as a kid what was up with that name - Hydrox.

Sounded like a water monster.

According to one web site Hydrox came out earlier 1906 than Oreos 1912.
I guess the name of Oreos have a better sound or taste. At least I know what Hydrox means Hydrogen and Oxogen. Oreos sounds like a space aura

I was reading that they are not completely gone.

Carvel still uses them, in crumbs, for their ice cream treats.

They are used as chocolate toppings and as that "chocolate barrier" for the ice cream cakes.

As a kid I always preferred Hydrox over Oreos which I think are the nastiest cookie ever created.
