Kristin Caruso, co-host of the true crime comedy podcast, Let’s Go To Court (16M+ downloads), and Norman Caruso, creator of the Gaming Historian YouTube channel (1M+ subscribers), team up to deliver a history podcast that is well researched, wide-ranging, and deeply silly. In other words, this is a podcast for intellectuals. Intellectuals who make fart jokes.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779"},"episode":{"title":"96: Snack Attack: Oreo vs. Hydrox","slug":"96-snack-attack-oreo-vs-hydrox","published_at":"2026-03-24T11:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779/96-snack-attack-oreo-vs-hydrox","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/an-old-timey-podcast-6888779","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8878436","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8878436.mp3?modified=1774401166&sid=5130139&source=rss","summary":"Prepare for battle – a cookie battle, that is! Back in the early 1900s, two brothers invented a game changing cookie. It consisted of two crisp chocolate wafers, stuck together with a vanilla cream filling. It was delicious! It was fancy! They called it… Hydrox. Years later, Nabisco created their own knockoff version of Hydrox. They called it the Oreo. For decades, Hydrox was the undisputed king of chocolate sandwich cookies. But in time, the tables turned. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Business 2.0. “Oreos to Hydrox: Resistance Is Futile.” February 20, 2002. https://web.archive.org/web/20020220054213/http://www.business2.com/articles/mag/0,1640,4537,FF.html .
