Wasn't there that lawyer who threatened to sue them unless they got rid of the transfats in the filling ? They did, and they've never been the same.

Ah-ha---could be. I don't remember that. You may be right although I seem to remember them changing at least the 1st time long before there was all this hullabaloo over trans fat. Heck they may have changed their formula twice.

My family always bought sunshine hydrox. Good cookies. I admit, I like oreos, too, but hydrox and oreo are a bit like coke and pepsi.

Maybe if I lose some weight and,as a result,my blood sugars return to normal I can have an occasional bunch of them.

Maybe not a bunch at once, but ask your doctor. I dropped 100 pounds and my pre-diabetic condition resolved itself.

"Hydrox is the po’ man’s Oreo!"

Funny thing is that the oreo is an imitation Hydrox! ydrox predates oreo by a long time. (other than that, they seem identical in the mouth)

True enough.I've been in that situation before.Lost a lot of weight and my blood pressure and blood sugars went from abnormal to normal.But then my hip went bad....couldn't exercise anymore....gained a lot of weight (again).

But my hip is being replaced next month and when that happens it's back to the walking trail....then I'll lose a lot of weight...then no more BP or blood sugar problems.

And *then*....I can sneak an occasional handful of Hydrox cookies.

I did a google search on Lemon Coolers and pulled up a bunch of “restaurant imposters” recipes-maybe if I get ambitious I’ll try one, and see how close it is to the original.

I didn’t even think to google them. Thanks for the idea. I’ll try one too! I’ll let you know what happens.

Have a great weekend!
