A Classic Cookie Makes a Comeback
Given the choice between Hyrdrox and Oreos as a kid I chose Hydrox—I preferred the texture of the latter. I’m in luck, the Hydrox is back, for a limited time only. Kellogg’s, which owns the Sunshine brand, has resurrected the cookie that originally debuted in 1908, several years before the Oreo.
Another Candy Contest
Folks, you’ve got five more days to vote for the new JellyBelly flavor. The finalist flavors include: Honey, Sublime Chili Lime, Thai Ice Tea, Mojito and Acai Berry. I’m no candy expert, but it seems odd to make an artificial honey flavored jelly bean. Wouldn’t it be tastier to eat real honey?
I think they should do thai ice tea jelly belly. I love the real thing, so why not.
I was always an Oreo girl (before I realized they add inches to my middle). I’ve never met a Mojito I didn’t like. Liquid or candy bean.
I picked Thai iced tea–I’ve become a huge fan since I moved to SF.
Woah, I’m slow–I didn’t even realize they got rid of Hydrox! I preferred them, too. Then when I was in college, all the vegan kids would devour them by the bagful.
I just saw Hydrox on the Safeway ad and literally thought they were just some generic version on Oreos. Now I’ve GOT to give them a try! Thanks!
First blind taste test I ever had was Hydrox vs. Oreos, I was probably 7 or 8. The babysitters thought I was being a, well, brat because I wouldn’t eat the Hydrox, they said I couldn’t tell the difference. Ha!!! Showed them right. ps They switched to Oreos, too.
