Dawn Ruined By P&G

Despite what many believe or believed Hydrox cookies came before Oreo. Latter was a copycat invention which eventually came to dominate sales over former.

As with many other products Hydrox cookies since their invention in 1908 have been passed around to different owners since Sunshine Brands sold it off.

Points in favour to Hydrox is the cookies are crisper than Oreos, far better for dunking in milk.

Next point, and one that always gets my vote is Hydrox cookies do not contain artificial sweeteners and flavors.

As for Mondelez hiding Hydrox cookies behind Oreos, Leaf Brands filed a complaint with FTC over that matter, or so they said. No FTC has never launched an official inquiry it seems, nor has anyone else.

How can such things happen? Rather easily is the answer.

Mondelez uses Direct Store Distribution model, that is their own trucks and drivers go around an area stocking store shelves, removing unsold/expired stock, etc.. Entenmann's and many other products use same model.

Leaf Brands in common with other brands merely sends stock to warehouses and distribution points, from there individual supermarkets, stores, shops, etc.. are sent product that their own employees put out on shelves.

Now if you're an Mondelez driver stocking cookie aisle shelves with stock it's very easy to push, hide or otherwise make sure product from competition isn't easy to find.

<blockquote>he only ‘good’ thing about dialup internet was you had to spend time wisely on the internet, couldn’t really be on the internet for hours on end like you can today without much of a problem.</blockquote> I worked for 9 years at a local ISP during the dial-up era.  There were several customers with extra phone lines who stayed connected near-continuously.  It became a problem when the business grew and busy signals sometimes occurred on dial-up attempts.  I'd occasionally each day check the active connection list in RADIUS then log-in to the modem units and disconnect the long-terms, which they'd immediately reconnect anyway.  A few complained.  The service was advertised as "unlimited" which was intended to mean no limit on how many times per day/week/month one could dial-in ... not that a connection could stay up continuously until the user was in his grave.

I still remember a story on NPR in roughly 1994 during Morning Edition as I was driving to work (so would have been about 7:40 am......lol) about dial-up and running out of ports/phone numbers/...as I worked in numbering at US Cellular it was quite important

cascade fresh scent

To me, Cascade fresh scent smells like super strong chemicals instead of that crisp scent. This is why I switched to Finish. At least the strong scent is more tolerable. And I can't stand the excessive froth that Cascade does. It's like my dishwasher's on labor! For real! I'm serious! Don't even get me started...

The scent is really generic like dollar store brand…it’s ridiculous. I use the dawn platinum lemon, love it. Cascade pacs and powder doesn’t smell as good as it used to years ago. They still complete gel line is actually quite similar to how it smelled years ago but a bit different. I love the new Mountian scent cascade has but it’s only available in the platinum plus which I can’t use in my soft water, that scent is undeniably accurate & reminds me of the smell of the outdoor air during a thunderstorm and isn’t too strong. They did well on that one.

I miss when P&G had fun and made cool scented cascades, like the Thai dragonfruit, Mediterranean lavender, New Zealand springs and gain scented actionpacs as they made years and years ago, over ten years now. That Mediterranean lavender was really something else! It was phenomenal and I don’t even like lavender that much. The entire house smelled like it during a cycle. It’s 2025 now. Why can’t they make like a cherry lime detergent? Or an apple & pear scent? Or a cedarwood pine scent? It’s always the generic “fresh” scent or their lemon which is a nice scent who doesn’t like lemon but it’s time for something new to add to the line that doesn’t just apply to the platinum pacs
