        Huh. Not only that, it sounds like Hydrox is better:

        Compared to Oreos, Hydrox cookies have a less sweet filling and a crunchier cookie shell that is less soggy when dipped in milk.

        I find Oreos too sweet and soft.

          From personal experience, Hydrox tasted terrible compared to Oreos. My parents switched to Hydrox when I was little because Oreos were being made with lard at the time, and they were barely worth eating. The chocolate cookie part was too hard and chalky.

      Tried buying some organic Oreos once.

      They were quickly referred to as “punishment cookies”.

      That one box lasted almost 3 months rather than the 3day lifespan of a normal Oreo.

      I wear dailies now but when I didn’t I used just generic saline solution and never felt any difference from the fancy stuff.
