Oreos
Contact lens solution (any name brand)
Fun fact: Oreos are the knock-off brand. Hydrox was the original.
TBD, Hydrox is a pretty bad name and Oreo definitely had the better marketing team.
It’s because of the time. The owner wanted to imply cleanliness in production, chemistry was pretty new, and what could be cleaner than water? Hence Hydrox
“A lot of people worked really hard on this.”
“Why?”
Huh. Not only that, it sounds like Hydrox is better:
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.
Last time I tried Hydrox, arguably many years ago, it seemed to taste and feel like all the generic knockoffs. They would start off crunchy when you first open the pack but would turn soft and stale within a couple days. Oreos seem to stay crispy for literally weeks.
HEB Twisters > Oreos

*Except instant oatmeal. They dropped the ball on that one
Really? I think the Great Value knockoff Oreos taste fantastic.
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.
And also contact lenses themselves
