1954 Hydrox Cookies ad
Hydrox: I can't wait to be America's favorite Cookies and cream cookie!
The Nefarious Oreo:
Sunshine Biscuit Inc, 1986
Hydrox is a creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookie currently owned and manufactured by Leaf Brands. It debuted in the United States in 1908, and was manufactured by Sunshine Biscuits for over 90 years.
The Original Creme-Filled Chocolate Cookie...
Hydrox Cookies, 1950
New dry powdery cookie with new and improved sweetened lard-like filling.
Reader’s Digest - September 1973
Before Oreo, there was Hydrox. Born in 1908—four years earlier than its more famous rival...Hydrox was the original chocolate sandwich cookie. But while Oreo got the glory, Hydrox quietly held on with a cult following who swore it had the better crunch and less-sweet filling.
After disappearing for a while, Hydrox was revived in 2015 by a company called Leaf Brands, which bought the rights and reformulated the cookie to stay true to the original recipe; crispier, less sweet, and without high-fructose corn syrup.
Leaf even fought back against Oreo, accusing them of hiding Hydrox on store shelves (seriously—they filed a complaint with the FTC in 2018). It’s still sold online and in select stores, often marketed as the “real” sandwich cookie for purists.
