| Message: | Hooray for Hydrox! I read about Hydrox coming back and got so excited. Just the other day, my sister surprised me with a package of them! I couldn't wait to have them with a nice cold glass of milk! Ahhh the childhood memories they brought back. I hope they decided to keep them around, I hate Oreos. |

| Message: | Hydrox Cookies always were far better. I am 73 and I had to live through the Nabisco cheap product crowd quality off the market. They did the same thing to Hi Ho crackers and sunshine soda crackers. I hate Nabisco & avoid their products. If enough people would do that, Nabisco would be forced to put out an edable product. |

| Message: | While leaving work at Wal-Mart tonight, I spotted a center aisle display of Sunshine Hydrox cookies. I was elated! Grabbed a bag and couldn't wait to get home to try them. I was thinking...pleeeze don't taste like those godawful Droxies that Keebler trie to pass off on us. Much to my dismay, I discovered that they still do not taste like the originals. Kelloggs and Keebler have bastardised an American legend. What can we do? |

| Message: | in march of 2007, i entered a message on this site, documenting my sorrow over the loss of the hydrox brand; and that message ended as follows: "...i deserve never to taste of its greatness again." . . . easy to say when the cookie is a distant memory, but sounds so unrealistic today; i'll be eating many. |

| Message: | I came home last night to find my wife had bought a bag for me. It's the sign of a great marriage--right? I wrote about my experience with Hydrox in my blog (plus some full frontal Hydrox photos): http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2008/08/27/hydrox_is_back_in_my_life.php |

| Message: | I thought the Hydrox love was only from the Midwest (no one I know here has even HEARD of Hydrox!) I can't wait to buy up some of the re-launched Hydrox and indoctrinate my kids to the true chocolate sandwich cookie! |

| Message: | The elusive Hydrox cookie. Thankfully, not the overbearing sweetness as found in their "taste challanged" cousin, the Oreo. I've been searching all the stores for their return. Surely there has to be a Hydrox cookie somewhere in Atlanta ? ? Just say NO to "O"..Go Hydrox. |

| Message: | I just came across the Hydrox Anniversary display at Safeway and bought some. They still have the slightly bitter, more adult taste I remember. The website indicates that Sunshine invented the chocolate sandwich cookie, which is not exactly true. Years ago I read an article in Esquire on the Hydrox vs. Oreo history, which indicated that both were trying to re-create the high end English tea biscuit, the kind that came in an assortment in a fancy tin box. |

| Message: | I had some of the "anniversary" limited edition Hydrox. My review is: save your money. They couldn't have tasted more like Oreos. Gross. |

| Message: | Hey Hydrox fans - if you're concerned about Hydrox only being around for a little while you can buy all you can afford and then find somebody with a Seal-A-Meal and you can freeze them forever. In the meantime I see that the shelf life of the ones I just bought is April 2009. I've eaten a whole pack of them in a couple of days and I gotta admit I'm a little sick of them right now... |

| Message: | This is just incredible. I was at Walmart today and saw Hydrox. I had no idea that they were not made any more. I used to purchase cookie off the shelf mostly Oreo. But Hydrox was the one I grew up with and loved it. My happiness knew no bounds when I saw Hydrox again on the shelf. I got a few packages and shared it with my husband for the good times. I love this cookie so much and they tatse incredible. Oreo's is gone out of my shopping list now. I started reading on the internet and realised this is only a limited edition. I wish Kellogg's could keep this forever for my children and grand children to cherish everything Hydrox has to offer. |

| Message: | MY MOM HAS A RECIPE SHE MAKES WITH HYDROX COOKIES. WHEN WE COULDN'T FIND THEM ANYMORE WE TRIED OREO, WHICH CHANGED THE RECIPE! I JUST FOUND HYDROX AT WAL-MART ON MONDAY. I WAS VERY HAPPY! HOPEFULLY, IT IS NOT JUST "A LIMITED TIME"! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THEM BACK. |

| Message: | This is getting fun, Chris. It wasn't that Oreo outmuscled Hydrox, but National Biscuit Co. got to be a much bigger company than Sunshine and had the $$$ to push the nations's first sandwich cookie out of first place with aggressive marketing and more. Plus they had a better name - Oreo is a great name, I'll admit. Neither cookie is "superior", it's all a matter of taste. Oreo is the Walmart of cookies now; all we Hydrox fans want is our friendly neighborhood cookie around as an alternative. |

| Message: | Just bought 5 packages of Hydrox at Pathmark. Shocked to see them on the shelf. Had been begging Keebler to bring them back and was told it would not be done. Hurray for our side. My husband and I have indulged in milk and cookies for the first time in ages. |

| Message: | (To Kirk) Unfortunatally we live in a time of penny pinching. Even though the Oreo is a much more superior cookie than the Hydrox people will still by the brand that is on sale. Even though this message board is full of Hydrox lovers, you will soon see that the cost to make the Hydrox is much more than the return the company will see in the long run. Thats why you see 100th anniversary on the package. They will treat this item as an "in and out " item if it doesn't live up to expectations. So all of the Hydrox lovers better buy as many packages as possible before Oreo muscles them out again. |

| Message: | I've been looking for Hydrox cause my brother Eddie absolutely LOVES them. Saw the blurb on tv the other day. My brother lives in Yreka and so far we haven't seen the goodies. Sure do hope they appear up here real soon. They were certainly better than Oreos. |

| Message: | Hydrox was always the better cookie. Their filling was far superior to Oreo's filling. I will be looking for them on my grocer's shelf. Now if they could just bring back the little chocolate chip/nut swirl cookie, my brother would be happy. |
