I grew up in a Hydrox house. If I eat a cookie these days, it’s definitely NOT a supermarket “sandwich creme,” so I have no idea what Oreos taste like now.

My impression, back in the day, was that Hydrox was sweeter and more of a “milk chocolate” flavor. Oreos were more bitter and “dark choclatey.”

Hydrox filling was less creamy. Oreos are better.

I like the hard-ish filling in Oreos. It’s easy to scrape off. Joe-Joes are creamier. I wonder how close they are to Hydrox?

So is being a vegetarian. Until they removed the lard from Oreos, vegetarians couldn’t eat them, either.

I preferred Hydrox. Oreos gave me heartburn.

I tried to find a page detailing the **Nice! Original Sandwich Crème Cookies** that I get at Walgreens, but the only thing I could find is a picture of the package and a list of why I shouldn’t be eating them! But, aside from that precaution, I enjoy them regularly as opposed to Oreo or Hydrox.
