treeseed commented on the word hydrox
Hydrox is a brand name for a successful cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie which debuted in 1908 and was manufactured by Sunshine Biscuits. Its unusual name was formed from those of the atomic elements which make up pure water. Some accounts report the Oreo — introduced in 1912 — was inspired by the Hydrox.
