TIL Oreos are an imitation of the Hydrox chocolate cream-centered cookie introduced in 1908, but they outstripped Hydrox in popularity so much that many think Hydrox is an imitation of Oreo (en.wikipedia.org)

I don't think I'd eat anything named Hydrox tbh. Then again I didn't think I'd love Mr. Christie's creamy frosting this much...

Forget the name; try them when you get the chance (Cracker Barrel sells them). They taste more "natural" then Oreos and leave less of a corn syrup-y aftertaste in your mouth.
