| Message: | I was just telling my friend about how me and my mom use to love to eathydrox cookies. We would eat the whole bag togather. It bring back good memory with my mom. Since she is no longer with me I miss her terribly. It breaks my heart that I am not able to buy hydrox cokies anymore. What can we do to bring them back? |

| Message: | I grew up in the household of a Sunshine Biscuit salesman and as such, was well acquainted with the lineup of Krispy Saltines, Hi Ho’s, Cheezit’s and of course…Hydrox. The crunchy Hydrox was much preferred to the mushy Oreo. We used to have a simple dessert/snack in our house: take a Hydrox, break it up and top it with canned peach slices; simple and tasty. Bring back Hydrox cookies! |

| Message: | I ate some Oreos tonight and thought I like the taste of Hydrox Chocolate cookies so much better. Then I thought I never see them in the store. So I googled Hydrox Cookies. Very sad to learn they are no more. They reminded me of a chocolate Vienna Finger Cookie. Which someone sold them I would buy them on-line. |

| Message: | I grew up eating Hydrox cookies in the 1950's and 60's. My mom always preferred Sunshine products to Nabisco, and when we finally got a package of Oreo we didn't like the filling with its greasy consistency and we didn't think the chocolate wafers tasted as good. I really hate Oreos. |

| Message: | Last September I posted here with words about the same as most have to say. Hydrox good, Oreo bad. I recently found a sort of Oreo that is actually very good. It is the Chocolate Oreo ice cream cone. These taste mildly like the Oreo cookie and are great for making your own ice cream cone. I mean it, they are pretty tasty. So of course, now they seem to be disappearing. There may be hope, as they're still on the Nabisco site. Incredibly, these cones contain no hydrogenated fats or cottonseed oil, just soybean oil. Now if someone would make a HYDROX cone... ;-) |

| Message: | I was looking for Hydrox cookies and came across your site. It was exactly what I was looking for! Hydrox was always my husband's favorite cookie, and he has mentioned frequently (for many years) how much better Hydrox were over Oreos, and was miffed that he could no longer find them. I also grew up with Hydrox cookies on our house, and was sad to hear the story of how undermining and false advertisement help in the the rise of Oreos and the downfall of Hydrox. I'm glad to know the truth. Thank you for your story. |

| Message: | when they made their return I ran to the store and bought 8 bags. I was sure to hide them like a squirrel hides nuts. Well they are long gone and so are the bags from the shelves. R.I.P Hydrox |

| Message: | Kelloggs did a horrible job in marketing the Hydrox return. They said if they had enough of a response they would bring them back perm. If everyone that posted here had emailed them, mayb eit would have helped. Don't know why Sunshine sold them in the first place. Try Famous Amos chocolate cookie, I couldn't tell them apart from Hydrox. Can't find them now either. Also from Kelloggs. |

| Message: | As others have said, I guess I missed the return of my favorite cookie. Found the site by finally Googling what happened to Hydrox as I am a Hydrox fan and will not eat Oreos. If the return has ended I guess I'll mourn. Otherwise I need to look around. |

| Message: | I am stunned to discover here that I completely missed the 100th anniversary return of Hydrox! I'm heartbroken that I missed out. Absolutely no marketing! I'd have bought all of them I could find! I'm guessing that they did not do well enough for a permanent return. People don't know what they're missing. :( |

| Message: | I had Hydrox Cookies and milk every day for 40 or so years. Then the disappearance of the brand. Last year living in Los Angeles for all of 2009, I found Trader Joe's chocolate and vanilla bean cookies. The closest thing yet to the original taste and texture of Hydrox. |

| Message: | I was researching the cookies for a story I am writing, because I know I did not eat Oreos, and remembered we ate Hydrox -- in the 50's when I was a child. Thanks for the history, I had no idea! |

| Message: | when I was a kid my dad loved Hydrox cookies... so much that to this day they are called Daddy Cookies in our house. I wish I could have found a box of them as today my dad is going to be with the Lord and I would have loved to have put a package of them in his casket to take with him. I will be doing his eulogy later this morning and this is one of the things I will be saying... My dad loved Hydrox cookies (they are the same idea as today's Oreo's ~only much better) He loved them so much we called them Daddy Cookies. He would share them with us of course, but there was one rule. We couldn't dunk them. So of course I did and discovered how really good they were when they are dunked. I wonder if that is why he didn't want us to dunk them. He was afraid we would eat them all..... So you see, Hydrox weren't just a cookie in our house... they are a legend.. |

| Message: | I'm not sure I understand. Is there still a possibility of buying Hydrox cookies. I sure miss them. I've gotten used to Oreos now but NOTHING tastes as good as the old Hydrox. If anyone knows anything please let me know. |

| Message: | I was hoping that there was some slim chance that I could find Hydrox cookies being made somewhere. Oreo has never compared to Hydrox and that is what I am left with and I am so disappointed. To this day I tell everyone I know about how great Hydrox were. Please, Please if you ever hear they are making them again, let me know. I tried the droxy ones a long time ago but they werent the right taste. I use to put my Hydrox in the refrigerator and they were the bomb. |
