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)

They’re not so good tbh. Then again Oreos are so sugary it’s hard for me to like those either

The current Hydrox is not the same as it used to be. It was discontinued around 2000 and then came back in the mid-2010s under a different company. Hydrox in the 90s tasted great. The new ones, not so much.

Any cookie is sugary. Just eat in moderation.

Screw moderation. If I break the oreo seal the whole package is going down.
