Did you just call Hydrox an Oreo knockoff

My dude, the better-entrenched brand is not always the original.

[–] aplomBomb@midwest.social 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Well it's no wonder Oreo took over, who wants to eat cookies that sound like a cleaning detergent?

It's either that or your grandma's biscuits that help her poop.

P.S. Not trying to attack you, just always wondered why anyone would choose HYDROX(it sounds like a fucking poison, right? am i the only one? WHAT IS GOING ON??) AS THE NAME OF THEIR GOD DAMN COOKIE!!!!11!!!!

Hydrox could be a detergent, medicine, plumbing brand, pet supplument, video game boss, maybe even a sports drink but NOT a freaking cookie.

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

I lost it at "video game boss" but honestly you're spot on with all of these.

[–] Blastasaurus@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Yeh I fully agree. Horrible branding.

[–] X3N0T1CT@thelemmy.club 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No I did not, it was just a comment on their superior flavor profile. Sorry if it came out wrong, English isn't my first language.

[–] harmonea@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a context thing, not a language thing. People will usually assume your title (hydrox) has something to do with the thing you posted (oreo knockoffs).

I'm also bad at context

Newman-o's is the superior cream filled sandwich cookie.

[–] MermaidsGarden@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

berdly-actually Hydrox came first; Oreo was the knockoff.

[–] X3N0T1CT@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 years ago

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My man here got whooshed. Pretty sure these are not real cookies.

[–] JollyBrancher@lemm.ee 41 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You mean to say you've never enjoyed a Bust-O's by Gonad Vortex?!

[–] thekerker@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right? I mean what other chocolate sandwich cookie is "overflowing with nut"?

[–] JollyBrancher@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Do you like movies about gladiators? ... You ever chocolate dip a nutter butter?

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean... Not if you're talking about cookies.

[–] JollyBrancher@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

The ol' Gonad Vortex. Only slightly less awful spaghettification than a black hole!!!

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

It's edited Great Value cookies

[–] PandaBearGreen@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

[–] SpermGoobler@lemmy.blue 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I belly laughed at 'Gonad Vortex'

[–] itsaghostcar@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Bustin' makes me feel good.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

I had an Oreo once and it was the second most disappointing thing I've ever eaten. Tasted like coal.

Bourbon creams are the real shit, and not even the cheapest manufacturer seems to be able to fuck them up.

And I thought it's expired...
