Oreo is the best-selling cookie in the world.
You probably know of the tradition of twisting, licking or dunking the cookie, but few know the dark side of its history.
That’s because many of its secrets have been buried for over 100 years, starting with the cookie being a knockoff with a questionable filling.
This is the story of Oreo.

"You probably know the tradition of twisting, licking, or dunking-" DUNKS ENTIRE FIST INTO MILK

I really never got oreos or ever heard of hydrox but when he said they would put the hydrox on top of the shelf or turn the product side ways so the logo wouldn't be seen...That is ice cold

"Cheaters never prosper." Orea: * Laughter *

Hydrox: the person who said the joke Oreo: the person who said the joke louder
-
"Oreo copied, now the original cookie is back for revenge." Sounds like a king who was gone for 1000 years and came back.
-
It’s because nobody wants to eat a cookie that sounds like a laundry detergent.

I’ve never been so invested in a story over chocolate cookies.

Moral of the story: never trust any guy who’s first name is or can be shortened to Adolph

I grew up in the fifties and sixties and hydrox was the best cookie. The chocolate cookies in oreos were simply way too sweet. With hydrox you could taste the chocolate. If he wants to bring back another great product I'd suggest banana flips in regular and chocolate with banana cream in the middle. Kind of like a cross between a taco and a large twinkie with way more cream filling. Always my favorite as a kid.

I totally agree that this is happened. I have also seen “the original Oreo” on Oreo package. And knowing that they used to put lard in the food makes me never want to get an Oreo in my life.

"Hail Hydrox" whispering to the cashier when leaving the store

Hydrox deserves more popularity and people nowadays says that Hydrox copied Oreo even tho Oreo was the one who copied it. Let's pray that Hydrox will become successful.

After learning about this I've never buying Oreo ever again.

When I was little I would ask my mom for Oreos and she always said no. I’m glad she did now that I heard
-
My teacher was just eating Oreos and saying how original the idea was… Looks like she was wrong
-
I never even heard of Hydrox... It sounds like a cleaning item than a food item...

When I was a kid in the early 90s, I told my dad’s friend, an attorney of Greek heritage that I like Oreos a lot. He told me “Oreo” means “good” in Greek, which I don’t think is correct according to Google translator, but I believed him for like 20 years. The packaging is the same color as the Greek flag though (blue and white). I saw online that it was named after “Gold” in Latin. The video did not mention that, but “oro” is Spanish for gold, which is a Latin language, and also similar to “Oreo.” I love Oreos, but I am disappointed in how they used predatory tactics to compete with their competition. This is a really good video!
