If you've never had the Hydrox brand of 'creme filled chocolate wafer' cookies, I would recommend you try them. I like them more and they are healthier ... as if that mattered to a cookie fiend like me. They were around before Oreo's and were the inspiration for Oreo's. In fact, IMO, the only reason Oreo's are more popular is because they were better financed.

Sunshine Biscuits

Serve Plenty  They Go Fast

Creamy vanilla filling between two chocolate wafers that
really taste like chocolate.
Appealing in their dainty appearance - delicious in fragrance
and richness of flavor.
Made of the highest grade sifted flour, creamery butter,
whole cocoa beans, sugar, and vanilla.
Serve Sunshine Hydrox Biscuits alone or with preserved
fruits, ice cream. or light desserts.
So popular are these crisp chocolate morsels that they are said
to be the largest selling sweet biscuits of their kind in America.
Many imitations have appeared, so be sure to get the
original by insisting upon Sunshine Hydrox Biscuits.

This is but one of over 300 kinds of Sunshine Biscuits.
The Sunshine Display Rack in many good stores will make
you acquainted with tempting biscuits that perhaps are new
to you.

I agree that Hydrox is a better cookie than Oreo. Guess Gresham’s Law also applies to baked goods.

The earliest photograph of the White House in Washington, D.C. that is known to exist. It was taken in 1846 during the 11th President of the United States, James K. Polk's time in office. It is believed to have been taken by well-known American photographer John Plumbe Jr. Colorization: @marinaarts
