this is really bugging me, someone must know. there is a song, which mentions Oreo cookies, and, i think, Hydrox as well? but, it might not be a song, it might be a book. anyone have any ideas?

"Americano" by Holly Johnson?

(From memory) there's a bit that goes: "Americano, blue jeans and chinos, pepsi and oreos".

It was shite.

It's from a Don DeLillo book. Something about Eric preferring Hydrox cookies to Oreos because Hydrox sounds like Rocket Fuel.

yes thats it! i liked that bit, but i never finished the book becuase, well, i got bored of it (quite ashamed really, normally i have to finish any book even if its rubbish).

i would never have rememberd where it was from though, all i could think of was Bogdan Raczynksi.

Kieth Giffen's Justice League (International / Detroit) has a many splendoured set of references to the Martian Manhunter being addicted to Oreo's.

Ice Cube, "True to the Game" - "Get a grip, Oreo"

Oreo of course being slang akin to Bounty Bar in the UK, black on the outside, white on the inside.

Wait: that Death by Chocolate record?

I seem to remember a lot of sweet-ish things being mentioned on that.
