Yeah, good ol' Oreo Cookies --> the Hydrox wannabe.

OOOOOHHHHH!!! This is the second time in two nights I've been shown Oreos late at night! My resistance is compromised, and I don't need to be looking at those! Two nights in a row!!!
Oh, wait. They're fraudulent Hydrox. Never mind. No temptation here!
The whole story was an upsetting one: a little bakery called Sunshine created the original sandwich cookie in 1908 and called it Hydrox. Four years later, baking giant Nabisco started making a similar sandwich cookie that they called Oreo, and they used their marketing power to convince everyone that it was the original.
As a boy only knee-high to a duck, I quickly learned from experience that there is good reason the Oreo outsells Hydrox. They're made of concrete. You could dunk those rocks in milk for a week; you could throw them in the ocean for a year, and they would not be physically altered. Hydrox. It sounds like something you put in your washing machine to keep your whites whiter. In fact you could add them to your wash, and they would chip your tooth when you tried to bite them. They should sell this technology to state road commissions to improve the life of their highways!
Thank you, Nabisco, for taking a flawed design and created a beautiful thing from its ashes!![]()
Rooibos tea has expanded from a small herb indigenous to a select region of South Africa, known only to a small group of tribesman, into one of the most consumed and well-known herbs in the world. The wonderful flavor and startling versatility make Rooibos worth the praise it has received, a mainstay for the converted and a must-try for the not-yet enlightened.
And speaking of tea...
The Sisters of Mercy (in Australia) developed a little known tea extracted from eucalyptus leaves. They named it Koala Tea. It didn't catch on in America though because it had unusual preperation requirements. This, of course, just goes to show: The Koala Tea of Mercy is not strained!
