| Message: | Hello, I am from Massachusetts and have been a loyal Hydrox fan forever. In fact, I will not eat Oreo cookies. I stll have 4 packages of Hydrox Cookies in my freezer and only take a few out at a time. I have to eat them frozen because they get soft if thawed. But I don't care, even old frozen Hydrox are superior to most other cookies. While I am very disappointed that the cookies will not be returning to the shelves...there is an ice cream parlor nearby that offers both Hydrox Cookie ice cream and Hydrox Cookie frozen yogurt. I inquired about the crushed cookie mix-in and was told that they buy the already crushed cookies from the manufacturer. Strange, if they don't make cookies any more, how do they have some to crush??? Anyway, for anyone who is interested the ice cream parlor is called Rancatore's and they are located in Lexington, MA. I believe there is another location in Cambridge MA but I have never been there. Please keep the website going and let us know if anything changes! I, too, would pay whatever it costs to get more Hydrox Cookies! Thanks! |

| Message: | My Dad was born in 1907-grew up with Hydrox, and after I was born in 1936 he introduced them to me-all he would have in the house. To this day, I still look for them in the grocery stores -will never give up hope - or Hydrox's! |

| Message: | Hydrox are now owned by Kellogg's. Kellog's had made Hydrox for the cookies 100th anniv a few years ago. It is the same recipe and it was good to taste the great Hydrox cookies, not the Nabisco knock off. |

| Message: | Like the other comments, I simply found Hydrox to be far superior to Oreos. Sad to see them gone, but I did enjoy the brief resurrection in 2008. |

| Message: | I, too, grew up on Hydrox and preferred them to Oreos. They were denser and moister. I do buy Oreos and put them in the freezer. They come out tasting more like Hydrox, BUT NOT QUITE. Someone suggested on a forum that "Famous Amos" chocolate sandwich cookies might be Hydrox in disguise since they're made by Kellog's. I found some on Amazon. Believe it or not, they shipped from an Ace Hardware store! I'd say they're pretty close. The filling tasted just like Hydrox (not gluey like Oreo). The cookie was close, but not quite what I remembered. They were very good, though. "Newman O's are also close, BUT NOT QUITE. Let's keep looking and lobbying! :) |

| Message: | My husband from Maine and me from MA remember Hydrox as being our favourite cookies. We are old folks so remember them very well. Wish they could be made now with the same recipe. We dont care what they would cost, we would buy them in a minute. |

| Message: | I, too, was raised on Hydrox and find Oreos simply dreadful by comparison. Inedible, actually. My idea is to flood the Vermont Country Store with letters because they've managed to bring back many "nostalgia" foods and sweets like Turkish Taffy,Skye Bars, BlackJack gum and those flat biscuit-y raisin cookies that you had to tear apart. |

| Message: | I was raised on Hydrox. I thought Oreos were lousy. It's sad when the food that people like are discontinued by manufacturers. Sunshine also had those Raisin Golden Biscuits which I loved as a kid. They're also discontinued. I rarely eat anything now manufactured by Keebler or Kelloggs, except Cheez-Its, which I've eaten my whole life. |

| Message: | When I was a kid, my cousins and I used to take Sunshine Hydrox cookies, put them in a bowl, pour milk over them and break them up with our spoon to eat them with the milk. We called them "Choc'm'ups" and it was a special treat. At some point, someone had bought Oreos by mistake and when we made Choc'm'ups with them, they were inedible because the creme filling was so greasy that it left a horrible grease film in your mouth, on your teeth, and in the bowl. YUK! The only cookie of this type for us was the Sunshine Hydrox cookie, but, alas, it looks like it will always remain a childhood memory now. So sad. You'd think that with the awareness of health nowadays, they would realize how much better the Sunshine Hydrox is than the Oreo! Remembering the greasy film when we tried to make Choc'm'ups with Oreos, I can feel my arteries clogging up just thinking about it! I hate Oreos because they can never measure up to the original. |

| Message: | I went to the Kellog page on their web site where they have a page for ideas. I left my idea with them, which was to bring back hydrox. I told them there was no way Oreos could every measure up to the taste of hydrox. My message to them was left with them on 9/9/11. It will be interesting to see if they ever positively respond. Let's keep trying! |

| Message: | I had a major craving for a Hydrox cookie last week, and today finally went online to see if perhaps they were available somewhere that I didn't know about. Glad to know I'm not alone on this. Hydrox are definitely a superior choice! |
