| Message: | They were out for a limited time. If you would like to see them permanent go to Kellogg’s homepage and send them a message. (they bought Keebler who bought Sunshine) Or try Famous Amos, hard to tell them apart from Hydrox. |

| Message: | Years ago when I married, he introduced me to Hydrox. I hooted when he said he could tell the difference between Hydrox and Oreos. So, in front of our children, he was blindfolded and given the "taste test." He chose the Hydrox EVERY TIME! So, that did it for our family. Fortunately, our oldest son married into another Hydroxy family, so guess what they got for Christmas this year??? there is definitely a chocolate-y taste that cannot be found in any other chocolate-creme filled cookie. We lived in Macau China for 3 years and had access to cookies from all over the world (yes, even...sigh...Oreos) NONE were of the Hydrox calibre. NONE. So we are grateful for this time to eat once again the best, the one and only HYDROX! |

| Message: | I have wondered what happened to my very favorite Hydrox cookies, and so I thank you for this website. But you say that Hydrox are available for a limited time? How can I get my 30 or more boxes? Please respond. |

| Message: | Oh my god. I can't believe I'm not the the only one remembers Hydrox. They were always so much better than Oreos. We ate them because in the 70s and I think 80's Oreos were made with lard and Hydrox with vegetable shortening. Even when Oreos stopped using lard, they still never tasted as good as Hydrox. Are they back for good? OR just temporary? I haven't seen any in the stores. |

| Message: | I was so excited to find them at the new huge Safeway store about 2 months ago. I had hoped they would last. but they have not had them again. The Californians don't seem to remember the past and how good they are. Are they still available by mail? Where?? |

| Message: | I've always loved the original Hydrox cookies. My husband couldn't believe I could tell the difference, so we did a taste test. He was surprised! Since their "demise", I have refused to by Oreos, opting instead for the cheaper store brands. I was so delighted when my sister gave me a package of Hydrox for Christmas! They taste just like I remember them. What a treat!! |

| Message: | So are Hydrox still be produced? The salesman told a friend at a local supermarket that production had been stopped, and the cookies were being pulled...and they are no longer to be found around here. So what gives? |

| Message: | So thrilled to find your site. I grew up on Hydrox in the 60's and fought with all the OREO kids in the neighborhood. Still fought as an adult. About a year ago, a new Safeway grocery store opened in the area (I wasn't a Safeway shopper) and I took a chance on their store brand Tuxedo's which seemed like they could be like Hydrox. I guess it had been so long, I figured they were the replacement. Joys of joys, my girlfriend came home yesterday with the anniversary addition of the original Sunshine Hydrox cookies. After scarfing down the entire package and a gallon of milk (just like I used to!) I knew that nobody but Hydrox could ever be Hydrox. Then I found your site. Thank you for your dedication. Everything is going to work out...HYDROX are back!!!! |

| Message: | I grew up on Hydrox. They are definitely better than Oreo. When I was little I used to get about 10 hydrox and scrape off the filling to eat after I had eaten the chocolate cookie part. Because of this, I know how the filling should taste. The new filling does not taste the same, not as salty and too shortningy. The closest I have found to the original filling is the filling in the vanilla Oreo (not the chocolate). |

| Message: | Just a quick follow up to my previous message - The cookie tastes great, very similar to original that I remember. However the shape is less rounded and there is more filling than original. Thought you'd like to know! |

| Message: | December 6 - Is it safe yet? Are Hyrox really back back? Not just the 100th anniversry edition? I bout two packs today ( and evryweekend when I go shopping) I live alone so I feel like I'm doing my civic duty but much more cookies than I ver would so that they keep making them I'm gaining bloody weight! I Love Them ! They still were not in with th regualr cookies today at Star Market. Revolting old Orios had pleanty of shelf space. I foind them down in their own place after talking to the store manager. So.. am I safe ? Can I go back to one package a week? Gotta keep the numbers up ! Greg Howard Boston |

| Message: | Vanilla Hydrox? I didn't know such a thing existed. But I think Vienna Fingers are essentially a vanilla, finger-shaped version of Hydrox anyway. The Famous Amos vanilla sandwich cookies are also quite similar from what I hear. |

| Message: | I use to eat the vanilla hydrox made by sunshine and it was my favorite as a child in the 70s. I was at the grocery store and notice that hydrox was back on the shelves but I did not see the vanilla kind. Will they be coming back out with the vanilla type? |

| Message: | I didn't taste a Hydrox cookie until recently. I was out grocery shopping and, as I have a habit of not supporting corporate gluts, purchased what I figured was a random, obscure product and was satisfied with one package...until I got home and actually ATE one. I wanted to drive back to the grocery store that's just off campus and buy them out! I will never, ever go back to Oreo's, at least not with a clear conscience. I think they're waaaay yummier than Oreo's because they aren't so sugar-sweet---they have amazing flavour! I have also succeeded in bringing my boyfriend to see the light...or taste it, as it were. I hope Sunshine (as I insist upon referring to the company, because that's who it really IS) continues to produce these heavenly gems. |
