The Dark Secret of Oreos

C1 – Advanced

To this day, Oreo is one of the most famous cookie snacks ever to exist and for good reason. The day it was created, people immediately fell in love with it.

However, with success comes copycats; trying to take advantage of how famous these creations are. The same happens to Oreos as well, which is not surprising at all.

The good name of Oreo, however, is what makes every copy fail in comparison to the “original”.

But what if I told you that Oreo wasn’t the original and is in fact, a copycat!

You wouldn’t believe me, would you?

Well, how about we take a look at this video and figure it out for ourselves, then?

Discussion Questions:

  1. Do you think Hydrox should be more famous than Oreo? Why or why not?
  2. With this revelation, do you think you’d try Hydrox? If you’ve already, what do you think of this Oreo competition?
  3. In your opinion, do you think Hydrox is being done dirty by the company that owns Oreos?
  4. Will Hydrox eventually rise again, one day? What is your stance on this situation.

1. Hydrox should be more famous because Oreo is a copy and Oreo is manipulating the consumers in a non ethical way. It is not the same to be more famous because your product is better, than to be famous because you are sabotaging your competition.
2. I would try. In fact, I like food with natural ingredients, like the original formula of this cookie.
3. Really dirty, like many other big companies that destroy their opponents making use of their massive capitalization. The better product should win, not the biggest pocket.
4. I hope so. Still, I am surprised that Hydrox still exists based on this information, maybe it has a change to rise. However, in this globalized capitalism, big companies eat their competitors really easily.

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts about this topic. Keep going with your writing practice.

Here is one sentence you can write just a bit better:

Hydrox should be more famous because Oreo is a copy and Oreo is manipulating the consumers in a non ethical way.

Hydrox should be more famous because Oreo is only/just a copycat and they are manipulating the consumers in a non–ethical way.

Until the next lesson!
