OT: Why Oreo vs. Hydrox Matters
There are many posters on here who believe the logo on the cookie doesn’t matter. Here is another reason why it matters to others.
Hydrox Cookie: Made with cheap, thin white creme, and it tastes stale.
Oreo Cookie: Look at the effort put into these cookies. Cookie has a tight fit and is made with thick creme.
The million dollar question is if the cookie quality in terms of expensive creme R&D is worth the price of a box.
hell yes it matters.
This changed everything.
Hydrox was the OCFC - Original Creme Filled Cookie. Oreos are knockoffs.
A closer parallel would be should Michigan stick with Adidas or buy Adidas knockoffs on Ebay?
Shut your whore mouth when you say Oreos are knockoffs! I love me some Oreos...
Truth hurts (courteousy of Wikipedia):
Hydrox is the brand name for a creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookie that debuted in 1908 and was manufactured by Sunshine (later Sunshine Biscuits).[1] The similar Oreo cookie—introduced later, in 1912—was inspired by the Hydrox, yet Hydrox suffered from the impression of being the knockoff.[2]
Maybe if they'd chosen a name that didn't sound like industrial-strength laundry detergent.
Definitely a contributing factor - but, is "OREO" that much better? We associate it with the cookie now, but when it came out, it had to sound like a pile of metallic rock.
Also not a help: Clorox debuted in 1913. In 1908 when Hydrox was created, there probably wasn't much of a reason to associate the name with a cleaning product.
Bad luck all around for this delicious yet oft overlooked cookie.
Wonderful history lesson.
The question is...what does Tyus Battle prefer?
reminds me of childhood and growing up.
Hydrox reminds me of filthy money guzzling, no good imitators.
Except Hydrox has been around since 1908, while Oreos weren't on the scene until 1912. Oreo is the filthy, money guzzling, marketing whore who stole a concept!
The piping just inside of the ridges on the Hydrox is too prominent in the new version. It makes the milk accrete to the side of the cookie post-dunking too much, making the overall experience soggy.
Thanks Brandon. Thanks a lot for the effing Hydrox.
Yeah, you win the internet today, sir. Well played.
That's by design, man. Some people like a soggy cookie, especially when dunking!
me of Steven Wright's bit about having a crush on his dental hygienist, so "before i go to my appointment I eat an entire box of Oreos."
towards Dave Brandon for making sure we had a firm top-quality Kraft noodle at the Big House rather than some cheap soggy flacid imitator!
/s
But does Hydrox double stuff?
I don't think so, which is why Oreo wins hands down. Plus you get chocolate dipped Oreos of all varying flavors.
are the bomb. We always have some on hand. They are my official lunch time treat.
Red Velvet Oreos were pretty good, but I'll stay with Double Stuffed.
Joe's O's are better than both, by a wide margin.
Write me a song like this for Hydrox and then we'll talk.
As far the big bad wolf goes, wouldn't the chocolate be toxic to him? That story reads once there were three little pigs with three little houses and big dead wolf in there back yard because some asshole murdered him with a cookie.
The End.
I've had Hydrox cookies fall apart on me before I can even bring them to my mouth. They're of low quality and poor design.
does the site keep logging me off and not letting me log back in except temporarily? Haven't seen any notices.
I've assumed something is happening with the server, or with traffic, because I haven't stayed logged in either. Maybe it is because I'm using Chrome? Don't know.
I believe that the server on which this site rests - when taxed - will dump sessions in an effort to remain active. It was doing this quite a bit yesterday even before the Tyus Battle and other good news came about, so I don't know if there was merely increased traffic all day yesterday and into today or if there are confounding issues as well.
It's been like this for me since early yesterday.
Eating them is a sign of low character. Even for small children.
and masturbation is a sign of immaturity. Even for adults.
Then I'm a 5 year old

We have a new record for get-off-my-lawniest comment ever in the history of MGoBlog.
Momma filled your head with crazy ideas and, clearly, no cookies.
... I think Hydrox has an inherent image problem based on name. Hydrox sounds too much like an evil Greek deity (All Hail Mighty Hydrox!) or some kind of chemical bond (H2O2: anyone for a hydrogen peroxide cookie?)
Honestly it sounds like a really good detergent.
Slow news day. Better go get some Oreos.
Nice job posting this at lunch time (est), NYW.
Problem is, they pulled the other Nike vs. Adidas thread, so this one doesn't seem nearly as funny anymore.
I think you're stacking the deck. Those are clearly double stuffs.

Double Stuff Post
Double Stuffs today are what the regular Oreo's were back in the day. The regular Oreo's today are lacking creme.

also, double stuffed Oreos are not actually double stuffed.

Lying bastards.
I'll take the other!
Didn't realize Hydrox was a cookie; reminds me of a bleach based cleaning supply. Wonder if that's what the mom was feeding the girl in the Sixth Sense...
True Story: when I was little, I called them "hi-dorks". #NewsYouCanUse

But that is becuase my great-great grandfather, Jacob A. Loose, invented the Sunhine Hydrox Cookie and the Soda Cracker!
I could eat the Birthday Cake Oreos all day, every day, and not feel guilty in the least.
and Oreo is the knockoff. All of your Oreo fans are just falling for slick marketing (and are probably fans of RAWK music).
