Did you just call Hydrox an Oreo knockoff

My dude, the better-entrenched brand is not always the original.

Well it's no wonder Oreo took over, who wants to eat cookies that sound like a cleaning detergent?

It's either that or your grandma's biscuits that help her poop.

P.S. Not trying to attack you, just always wondered why anyone would choose HYDROX(it sounds like a fucking poison, right? am i the only one? WHAT IS GOING ON??) AS THE NAME OF THEIR GOD DAMN COOKIE!!!!11!!!!

Hydrox could be a detergent, medicine, plumbing brand, pet supplument, video game boss, maybe even a sports drink but NOT a freaking cookie.

I lost it at "video game boss" but honestly you're spot on with all of these.

[–] Blastasaurus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Yeh I fully agree. Horrible branding.

No I did not, it was just a comment on their superior flavor profile. Sorry if it came out wrong, English isn't my first language.

It's a context thing, not a language thing. People will usually assume your title (hydrox) has something to do with the thing you posted (oreo knockoffs).

Newman-o's is the superior cream filled sandwich cookie.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My man here got whooshed. Pretty sure these are not real cookies.

You mean to say you've never enjoyed a Bust-O's by Gonad Vortex?!

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean... Not if you're talking about cookies.

[–] JollyBrancher@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The ol' Gonad Vortex. Only slightly less awful spaghettification than a black hole!!!

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

It's edited Great Value cookies

[–] SpermGoobler@lemmy.blue 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I belly laughed at 'Gonad Vortex'

Bustin' makes me feel good.

I had an Oreo once and it was the second most disappointing thing I've ever eaten. Tasted like coal.

Bourbon creams are the real shit, and not even the cheapest manufacturer seems to be able to fuck them up.
