[edit] Separate the article

Create a new article for Hydrox (soft drink), the current article is talking about two different things on one page. 121.6.99.77 10:46, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification

I have a high-level contact at Kellogg's whom I asked about Hydrox cookies. I appears that Kellogg's (Keebler) continues to make and market cookies under the name Hydrox, however only as cookie crumbles and only to industrial clients. (I do not know if Carvel is among them). Frankly, I preferred Oreo to Hydrox, but among the three, I'd take Famous Amos. They also happen to be Kosher. KriZe 15:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kosher?

For years, Jewish children not permitted to eat the non-kosher Oreo cookies enjoyed Hydrox instead!

This comment seems doubtful (and doesn't seem to make sense; what would make Hydrox kosher and Oreo not?), so I moved it here. - furrykef (Talk at me) 08:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

This is indeed true. I am one of many in my neighborhood that grew up on Hydrox. I believe Oreos were made with lard.

I have read, and I do not know when or where, that Hydox was kosher when Oreos were not. Then when Oreos changed their formula to be kosher, Hydrox lost marketshare overnight and were shut down.

It was quite popular among Jews. Those that kept kosher would not have Oreos which we were told were "treif" (not-kosher) and I and all my kosher friends had Hydrox. I'm sure there is something out there that indicates the trend. Valley2city 18:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Simply better tasting

Though I heard the same - that there was animal fat (unspecified) used to make Oreos. And Hydrox used only vegetable fat.

Some times a good product is sidelined by poor promotion – Oreos employed a better advertisement campaign - but the Hydrox cookies tasted better than Oreos. Given the choice I would prefer Hydrox to Oreos - never mind you got more for your money - the taste particularly of the buscuit was simply better.

It is like Coke and Pepsi – I prefer the taste of Pepsi [Max] – but Coke is more popular the world over.

Like Pepsi - Hydrox – could have had a real chance with proper promotion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.204.225.66 (talk) 14:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
