Copied from a posting on Facebook.  A man walked into a bar and ordered a beer.  He left a note and asked the bartender if he would keep it there.  Very moving.

On Tuesday, the Oreo cookie turns 100 years old.  The first Oreo was introduced to America on March 6, 1912.  The Oreo cookie One would think that Oreo has been so successful because it was an original idea: a white, creamy filling between two chocolate wafers.   But Oreo is actually a rip-off.  The original cookie with a white, creamy filling between two chocolate wafers was called the Hydrox.  The Hydrox cookie Hydrox made its debut in 1908, some four years before the Oreo.  It was finally pulled from production in 1999 after a 91 year run on the cookie market.  It simply could no longer compete with its younger carbon copy. I remember Hydrox cookies.  We used to have them at our house all the time -- I'm sure it was because they were less expensive than Oreos.  I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two.  Until, of course, Oreo introduced the "Double-Stuf" The Oreo Double Stuf.  Making American kids fat twice as fast since 1975.
