A poor man's Oreo...


I was reading an article in Saturday's Wall Street Journal entitled "The Hydrox Cookie is Dead, and Fans Won't Get Over It." Apparently in 2003, without warning no less, Kellogg Co. "killed off" the cookie. "This is a dark time in cookie history" wrote Gary Nadea of O'Fallon, MO. "Oreo had all the advertising, but those "in the know" ate Hydrox". Apparently some (self-proclaimed) "Hydrox people" refuse to believe that they're actually gone... even reporting Elvis-like sightings of the now extinct product.

Oh, man, you have no idea how funny this is.

My mother is a "Hydrox Person" to the umpteenth power. She clearly hasn't seen this post yet.

Since when did Polvo start wearing a hat?

When did Polvo steal Vic's signature hat? looks like his Crocodile Dundee number! I thought for a minute that was Vic then I remembered Vic wears hetero underwear... And, yes, Hydrox rule! Next to a Hydrox, an oreo tastes like a flavorless piece of lard - not that I don't enjoy my fair share of lard. When I first found them missing from the shelves of Publix, I thought they just had a LTF buyer (with no taste). I was, after all, in FloriDUH. Then, when I heard the rumor that they were truly gone - even in the Union states, well my life has lost a little spark...
