Sometime around Covid, Oreos went from being made in the U.S. (possibly New Jersey) to Mexico. Since that time we've noticed the quality isn't consistent.
Sometimes the creme filling has a greasy consistency and doesn't taste as sweet. Sometimes the filling isn't as creamy and taste more like powered sugar.
This my explain my dissatisfaction with Oreos, my observations being the same.
Another complaint I have is that current packaging is six cookies short compared to 'not that long ago'.
I'm thinking that's the 'New 1/2gal' business model, but don't remember the original weight, to make a comparison.
And Hydrox have always sucked, both with I was a kid, and now as an adult.
And don't get me started on Oreo Thins, another way to sell less for more.
Hydrox was how you knew you were poor.
I don't recall ever eating a Hydrox cookie, and I don't think I ate an Oreo until I was in high school or possibly later. When I was growing up, my parents didn't buy Oreos or Hydrox they bought store branded sandwich cookies. I never knew what I was missing.
