What does /ck/ think of Hydrox? I thought it would just fizzle out as a fringe niche project, but I was surprised to see that my grocery store was carrying it so I picked up a box. I actually like it better than oreos. It's crispier, has a better chocolate flavor, and it's less sweet.

I'd be more inclined to try them if the name didn't sound like a household cleaner.

If that was a subconscious deterrent that would be one thing but the fact that you know that's the reason you don't like it and you still think it's bad just because of the name is pretty strange.

I first heard of them on the Critic. Thought this was some knock-off product you find in the dollar store.

Apparently it's the original with Oreos being the knock-off, except Oreos ended up dominating the market.

Hydrox was the original chocolate wafer sandwich cookie. Oreo is actually the knockoff brand.

I got myself a box and, while i like the filling much better than oreo filling, the cookie wasn't as good in my opinion. Honestly, i wish there was a way for me to get just the oreo cookie, but they don't seem to sell them whole.

Literally every single person who lived during hydrox's original run is no longer alive.

What a fucking mess.
The only thing that could salvage this cookie is if the filling doesn't separate and turn all oily and nasty when exposed to 100F temperatures on a hot day.
Oreo filling is literally canola oil and HFCS held together with emulsifier.

Hydrox doesn't use HFCS, so there's that.

M&Ms are also a knock-off.
The originals are Smarties, which aren't sold in the States because of a naming conflict with yet another ripoff product.
