Oreos were an imitation of what earlier sandwich cookie?
Hydrox
Bisc-O-Wich
Duplex Cremes
Tudor Treats
Fact: Oreos were introduced by the National Biscuit Company (now Nabisco) in 1912, but they weren’t the first sandwich cookie of their kind. That distinction belongs to Hydrox, a chocolate sandwich cookie with a crème filling that debuted in 1908. However, Oreo’s sweeter taste and aggressive marketing helped it quickly surpass Hydrox in popularity. Over time, many consumers mistakenly assumed Hydrox was the knockoff. Despite its first-mover status, Hydrox gradually faded from store shelves, while Oreo became the best-selling cookie in the world.
Correct Answer: Hydrox
