## Wikipedia Article

Hydrox is a cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie owned and manufactured by Leaf Brands. It debuted in the United States in 1908, and was manufactured by Sunshine Biscuits for over 90 years. Oreo was created in 1912 as an imitation of Hydrox. Oreo eventually eclipsed Hydrox in popularity, which resulted in the Hydrox cookies being perceived as an Oreo off-brand. Compared to Oreos, Hydrox cookies have a less sweet filling and a crunchier cookie shell that is reportedly less soggy in milk.

### History

In the 1890s, brothers: Jacob Loose, And Joseph Loose, opened a bakery in Kansas Missouri. This was due to the major stoppage of Biscuits due to major wars ending. One day, Jacob feel Ill and went to Europe to get treated, leaving only Joseph taking care of the bakery by himself. However, Joseph didn’t like the way things were going, and silently sabotaged Jacob while he was being treated up in Europe. Creating the “National Biscuit Company” (known as Nabisco now) while Jacob was being treated.

Jacob was furious, and coming back down to Kansas, he created what is known as the “Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company” (later to be renamed Sunshine Biscuits in earlier years) and started production in the 1900s, later on creating what is known as “Hydrox”, ultimately being stolen by Nabisco, and distributed into stores in later 1910s era, leaving Jacob deprived and mad, at his brother who started an entire biscuit company with him, and later turned on his back. Oreo started becoming more and more popular over the next few years, leaving people to think Hydrox was a straight up rip-off of Oreo, some claiming to protest about it out near Jacobs company. Jacob in later years died in a good way, earning a few million dollars.
In 1908, the cookie's creation was inspired by "purity and goodness", with a name derived from the hydrogen and oxygen elements within the water molecule. However the cookie got held back due to its domain being taken by ice cream goods and sodas, making the Hydrox cookie domain to sit back a few years until 1912. Soon they got it into stores, however they were too late, and Oreo had already gotten a head start Due to the fact Joseph wanted to hide Hydrox behind their product. Oreo eventually got more popular, and left its unraveled truth behind it. As the years went on, Sunshine Biscuits decided they wanted to create many flavors for their brand, and later creating: New Hydrox, and later on Hydrox Doubles. As time went on, Sunshine Biscuits got burnt out, and was purchased by Keebler in 1996, and in 1999, Keebler replaced Hydrox with a similar but reformulated product called "Droxies" . Keebler was acquired by Kellogg's in 2001, and Kellogg's removed Droxies from the market in 2003. Kellogg's then marketed a similar chocolate sandwich cookie under the Famous Amos brand, along with sandwich cookies of other flavors, but also discontinued the line.

On the cookie's 100th anniversary, Kellogg's resumed distribution of Hydrox under the Sunshine label in late August 2008 in direct response to 1,300 phone calls from fans as well as an online petition with 1,000 signatures, a Hydrox fan website with the essay "Nonconformists don't eat Oreos", and dozens of forum posts, asking that production resume. The cookies were available nationally for a limited time, and less than one year later Kellogg's removed Hydrox from their web site.

The Carvel ice cream franchise sold ice-cream goods manufactured with Hydrox cookie crumbs until 2012. Carvel used the cookie's all-kosher status as a selling point, because the original Oreo recipe used lard. The cookies were not specifically mentioned by name on the Carvel website, but they were identified as "hydrox" (lower-case "h") on the in-store posters. Carvel currently uses Oreo cookies in its ice cream goods.

In 2014, Leaf Brands registered the "Hydrox" trademark, which had been abandoned by former owner Kellogg's. Leaf began production of its version of Hydrox on September 4, 2015, at the company’s facility in Vernon, California. In 2017, the recipe was changed to remove artificial flavors that had been used for 50 years, and the company obtained non-GMO certification.

Leaf Brands filed a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission in 2018 against Mondelez International, maker of Oreo cookies, for hiding Hydrox cookies from customers on store shelves.
