I got myself some fauxreos at the grocery store this morning.

" 🙄 What are fauxreos?"

Like Oreos, but not the actual Oreo brand. Fake Oreos. Fauxreos.

"Oh, like Hydrazine."

No. You mean Hydrox. Hydrox was first, and Oreos are actually fake Hydrox cookies. I got Benton's.

"How are they?"

Pretty nice, actually.

@chetwisniewski @APBBlue I haven’t had #Hydrox probably since I was about ten years old. My memory is they were kind of undistinguishable from Oreos, though there shape was a little different.

The first coin minted by the US was actually a cookie

It looks delicious, but it tastes terrible.
(By US federal government, source.)

Today, The Daily Isotope learned that the first coin that was minted by the US government was actually a cookie made of chocolate-flavored dough with a creamy center. It was designed by a baker named Oreo John Hydrox. It was designed this way to allow people to separate the cookie into two halves. Thus, if needed, they could pay in a faction of a coin.

As you may have guessed, the Hydrox cookie was later an evolution of this design. The company and the cookie were named to honor the original designer of the coin. A few years later, a competitor emerged, Oreo. They used the Hydrox cookie as their basis, and they also named their company to honor the original designer. A third company, named John, was also launched later, but it quickly ceased operation, mainly due to its nondescript name.

Contemporaneous sources tell us this coin tasted “like ass.” The editorial room at The Daily Isotope is divided whether this is a good, or a bad thing. At any rate, the design of the coin was a tad messy as it would attract bugs, and it ended up being scrapped in favor of coins make of solid milk chocolate. This design was quickly scrapped, too, when people realized that the coins would melt in their pockets.

Is this even necessary? Gross, I mean oreo's are at best a poor Hydrox (I know I totally dated myself) but for christ sake why would you want a Sour Patch Kids / Oreo colab?? #sourpatchkids #food #gross #oreo #badidea #colab #wrong #hydrox
Don't know why this cookie disappeared. It was always better than an oreo. #hydrox #sunshine #cookie

Hydrox are far superior to Oreos (who ripped off the chocolate sandwich cookie idea from them in 1912 and have been doing their best to stomp them into oblivion ever since).

Nabisco has gone to great lengths to make Hydrox impossible to find in stores; I get them on Amazon. They come in cases of 6 packs and I share a lot of them. #food #hydrox #cookies https://thehustle.co/the-curious-case-of-the-disappearing-hydrox-cookies/

The curious case of the disappearing Hydrox cookies - The Hustle

Oreo, the Hydrox knockoff, has been accused of burying its competitor by scoring sweetheart deals with grocers. Does it wield too much power over smaller rivals?

@Ronathan I was like that for a while when they brought back #Hydrox and you could get them on Amazon. I had to start giving them away because they were filling up the cabinet.
