What brand of creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies was later copied and overshadowed by Oreos?

I hadn't thought of that. It's a good guess, but not the answer I was looking for. Wagon Wheels are sandwich cookies with marshmallow filling and a chocolate coating on the outside, which makes them more similar to Moonpies than Oreos.

Not too familiar to the snack aisle personally, so that was my one real guess. Given, if I hit the munchie rack, damn I'd be huge. Keep it away dammit, away I say!

Well I know that Hydrox cookies are almost the same cookie as Oreos. So that would be my guess.

That was what i was going to say. My wife had a cat named Oreo, and she jokingly used to say if you wanted to disgust him, call him "Cookie, cookie, cookie" or "Hydrox"

They had cookies called Hydrox? Sounds like something used to treat genital warts. Get some Hydrox on that burn!

Sunhine became Keebler, which became part of Kelloggs. I used to eat these by the package full when I was a kid. Better than Oreo IMHO.

RedChevy79 and Viscera, that is correct! It is Hydrox. Most people don't even know about the brand, and of those who do, many think that Hydrox was an imitation of Oreo. But it was the other way around. Hydrox went to market in 1908. Oreo followed with a similar product four years later in 1912. I agree with Griffin, though. I am pretty sure the reason Oreo overtook Hydrox has a lot to do with the name.
