Makers of an old malaria drug aren’t the only ones cheering President Trump’s surprise statement Monday that he takes it regularly to ward off coronavirus. A cookie company also got a boost, and it wasn’t the first time.
Perhaps it was autocomplete, or maybe people were just unsure how to spell hydroxychloroquine, but Google searches for Hydrox cookies took off immediately. The cookies are similar to Oreos, but were discontinued by Kellogg in 2003.
.planetmoney 652 coda?
For real Ha ha ha!!
Probably the same reason that the sale of Corona beer likely plummeted. The Darwin principle at work.
Which company?
Darwin’s theory will be resoundedly proven!!!
Not just cookie companies but also some friends from Mexico.
This is probably what Trump thinks it is!
Hydrox. The original Oreos.
Well, now I know the answer to, who and where are the 42% that back tRump. They're in the cookie aisle.
idiots
Please please please tell me that Hydrox and Oreos are different animals! (They kinda look the same) I don’t ever want to be associated with Cult 45! To clarify, I’m talking about double stuffs. Not regular Diet Oreos.
Why are people so dumb!
OMG!
West nile virus or mosquito didn't bite anybody that is taking this medication , hence should listen to the medical scientist of the adverse effect of its danders. Kidney damage, liver damage etc. Everybody please follow medical advise, don't die in ignorance before your time.
Before you loose your faith in mankind; The spike in interest resulted from auto fill in online search queries. As one is typing Hydrox... Hydrox Cookies pops up in suggested auto fill. That's all. It's just garbage click bait.
You can't be serious..😂😂😂😂
Hydrox Cookie GOOD! Corona Beer BAD! FoodWars WelcomeToCostCoILoveYou
You can’t fix stupid
And yet, it may turn out that eating hydrox cookies is better advice than that from our “expert” virologists, epidemiologists, and “modelers”
Before you condemn your fellow man; The 'spike in interest' comes from auto fill in online queries. Mistakenly typing 'Hydrox,' people see Hydrox cookies auto fill in the suggestions and think something like 'I remember those' and select the suggestion.
Maybe the news made people think about the cookies because the names are similar.
Before you blanket yourself in the warm sense of superiority, The 'spike in interest' comes from auto fill in online queries. Mistakenly typing 'Hydrox,' people see Hydrox cookies auto fill in the suggestions and think something like 'I remember those' and select the suggestion.
Why not?
The real OREO cookie before Nabiscrapo stole the idea! Nabiscrapo changed the recipe to the OREO cookie vs what is was in the 30+ years ago; they taste like crap nowadays sadly!
Does Hydrox have a bleached version?
This can’t be a real thing. Can it? Are people that dumb?
Made in USA unlike Mondolez which put Chicago area Oreo workers on the street and offshored their jobs to Mexico.
The medicinal term, “Quine,” means that it’s bad for your kidneys minimum. It will gradually ruin the function of other organs. It also toxifies the blood stream. White Vampires in Germany love to take Airborne capsules, mixing with the right amount of water every day Much better
God help us.
That is hilarious 😆
Wait til they find out that the leaves from tobacco were used to create the ZMapp vaccine for Ebola.
WE love us some Trumpers.
All of his dupes think the cookies are the medicine.
Uh, interest in Hydrox cookies spiked after being on lock down with no paycheck and you can’t afford Oreos. It had nothing to do with Trump or Hydroxychloriquine.
They'll be drinking hydraulic dpfluifpd next! 🙄
Where can I get some
TrumpLiedPeopleDied
Hydro is republican Oreo is Democrat
They finally are competing with Oreos. Shit we are doomed.
SAD
Black on the outside, white in the inside... with a hint of TRUMP GERMS!
Why not... Cookié bom ninguém quer dar...
We have to open this country up judging by the “news” articles from WSJ to TMZ.
That’s a very sad comment on the intelligence of the US citizenry.
Srsly? We're doomed. Fuck it time to go elsewhere.
Unfortunately our governors look at this and say, 'See. That's why we have to make all the decisions for people.'
These cookies are terrible. I remember when a Dairy Queen in the late 1990s or 2000 gave me a Hydrox Blizzard instead of an Oreo one that I ordered. It was not palatable.
My faith in humanity is inversely proportional to time.
Maybe you can add Amy Klobuchar’s Husband Name on the Label.
“Wall Street” Journal.........
🤦🏾♀️
FFS, people are stupid.
We are truly the most ignorant nation on earth
Oreo did it better and in high heels!
If you drink Corona beer while eating Hydrox cookies, they cancel each other out.
Eat more cookies!
Morons
People are stupid
My god is this news
🤦🏻♂️
LMBO!!!!!!!! But seriously, I wish that stores would carry your far superior cookies and dump the other ones!
N8iveTucsonan Idiots. We’re surrounded by idiots.
Hydrox are better! They are crisper, better chocolate flavor, real sugar and made in USA...unlike Oreos.
🤣
soon and spectacularly my brains are going to fire hydrant out of my eye holes, nostrils, ears and mouth
Hydrox cookies good. Corona beer bad. Go figure.
There’s a GaryGulman joke in there somewhere
ThisShowStinks
On the bright side this is less likely to kill you than everything else suggested
You have dumbed down a lot of people.
Wouldn't doubt for a sec there being truth to this 😂
Lmao I love how stupid America is
Why is press so concerned with numbers of new positive cases and so little concerned with number of new hospitalizations? Answer: they are all about the HYPE!!!
walduaw 😆
Jesus. Are we evolving backwards?
Are people that stupid .......?_
Never underestimate the power of stupidity.
Hoping this is a satire but fearing that we are that stupid
Are US citizens really that dumb?
You JUST can't make this up I'll bet it's all those half naked woman in curlers 'filling' the aisles at Walmart
No, no , no...Surely you jest. Next, we'll have people with kidney stones drinking Rolling Rock.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait until the President mentions his favorite flavor of Kool-Aid.
People are idiots🥴
Ha...we are a funny people...
Too many people are absolute morons.
Maybe Trump thinks the pill he takes is ground up Hydrox cookies.
berserkx33 these are the smoothbrains that want us to believe they deserve to have power, privilege, and money i hope that when people read your disgusting capitalist propaganda rag they remember that these are the people you write for
Stories like this are proof that .Twitter needs to add a laughing button and not just a heart.😂🤣
yeah people are probably buying it as a goof, meanwhile in America you should still be able to take a drug and speak highly of it without being accused of forcing adults to take it or take some fish tank cleaner or whatever the hell some stupid careless adults decide to ingest
Hydrox cookies suck compared to Oreos.
Just shows how dumb trump supporters are!
judybattista 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL, possibly looked upon as hydroxychloroquine for kids and exceptionally immature grown ups.
Wait...what? Is this from TheBabylonBee ?
1986: Navy enlistees spike after the release of the action thriller Top Gun. 2020: Interest in Hydrox cookies spiked after President Trump said he takes hydroxychloroquine regularly to ward off coronavirus. Where did we go wrong?
matt_levine the ZOOM/ZM correlation problem is spreading.
Wtf is wrong with you WSJ! Seriously. So people clicked on somthing with auto complete. This is news?
Well, at least his supporters are not drinking Clorox anymore
Proof people are just stupid
Dis right here tho!?!?!?!?!? Das why you gotta subscribe son!!!!!!! Just a lil tase of what an award winning, multi million dollar corp can do! BiggerBusinessBetterBusiness
Yeah. There is a new variety. Yes. Hydroxy , with Disinfectant ! 😷😂🤣😄😀
And these people vote?
Unbelievable
If true...which I doubt....this is testament to our dismal education of children..we need to do better.
“Interest in Hydrox cookies spiked after President Trump said he takes hydroxychloroquine regularly to ward off coronavirus.” Interpretation: What’s in a name? Stay away from Corona beer and you won’t need Hydrox cookies.
This is what we ate in Yeshiva because Oreos weren't OU kosher.
I don't think I've ever heard a more unappealing name for a cookie.
Soon.
Dumb and Dumber
I thought Hydrox was gone.
Lol
covidiots
Interest didn’t increase, people google and spell it wrong
How dumb r people who think Hydrox cookies will ward off COVID-19?
Does Trump know about the elimination half life of hydroxychloquine in our bodies?
lol slow news days guys?
opens door to snake oil sales
Isn't Hydrox the predecessor to Oreo? Or Oreo took Hydrox and made it their own or something like that
Now that is funny 🤣😂
Can we say this is 'innovative'?
Must be a slow news day. I expected better as a subscriber
Overheard: Joe Biden realized today really was Tuesday.
Is that you Onion?
Overheard from a moron i guesd
