Wow, Hydrox Cookies are back and made in the USA by Leaf Brands. They also have no animal fats or high fructose corn syrup. Cool.
@bradenslen I didn’t know they were back in stock…they were out for a while. It was a staple of my childhood. Much better than Oreos.
@bradenslen Cool, finally something really useful posted here. I remember them, but not how they tasted. They sound healthy now. How do they compare to Oreos?
@dshanske @Ron Sunshine Bakers got bought by Keebler which got bought by Kellogg who quit producing Hydrox. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydr...
Hydrox is the original, Oreo is the copy. When I was a kid Oreo and Hydrox were like Coke and Pepsi battling it out and household's were either Oreo or Hydrox loyal homes. :)
The Hydrox cookie tends to be crisper than Oreo, the chocolate darker and the filling less sweet. I think the whole cookie is less sweet which I like better as an adult. Store brands seem to be super sweet which I don't like. It sounds like Leaf brands has made all the right moves making the cookie more healthy.
I have a feeling Hydrox is going to be hard to find in the grocery stores since Leaf is a smaller company and Hydrox was absent for so many years, so I'm glad Amazon has them.
