I think maybe this article escaped from Airboy's Babylon Bee :idiot2:

The threat of asteroids striking the Earth and causing a global catastrophe has inspired some groups to build bunkers to not only protect survivors, but also to ensure the safety of certain plants and animals. Now, the makers of Oreo have ensured that the popular snack will live past any possible asteroid strikes.
In a video published on its YouTube page, Oreo says it was inspired by the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway. According to the seed vault's website, it is a storage facility for various seeds that has been designed and built to withstand both natural and manmade disasters. It is located above the permafrost line, placing it in the Arctic Circle.

Meh, powdered milk with Oreos L:-)
I quit buying Oreos years ago anyway. Think they changed the receipe. Don't taste near as good as I remember growing up.
You could go to the dark side and try *shudder* ... Hydrox

I had an arguement at work on Hydrox one time. My somewhat younger coworkers didn't believe they existed.
Bwahaha you know, I don't know if they still do actually exist. It's been about 35 years since I've had one or seen one anywhere.
"Hydrox" sounds like a brand of bleach
"Hydrox® is the original creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookie! It debuted in 1908 and was manufactured by Sunshine® Biscuits. Sunshine Biscuits was purchased by Keebler® in 1996, and in 1999, Keebler® replaced Hydrox® with a similar but reformulated product named Droxies®."
The Internet is an absolutely wonderful thing (so are the Keebler Elves).
Droxies?? That's worse than Hydrox.

Wow I complete forget about Hydrox. I only tried them once and I seem to remember that they were no match for Oreos.
I remember being so poor growing up we had to buy Hydroxes. ...Hydroxii? But I didn't mind. Quantity has a quality all its own, especially to a 6 year old.
Now this so-called "reformulation"? I'm suspicious of it. Droxies? Sounds like Orc mischief to me.
Meanwhile, at least the cockroaches will have something to eat, if Oreos have a vault!
True, but cockroaches can't twist the top off an Oreo to lick the crème in the center the way they were meant to be eaten. :notworthy: They can't can they? Please tell me they can't.
Depends on the mode of apocalypse.
^In New York City the roaches can't twist an Oreo but the waterbugs...my God, the waterbugs. Most disgusting things you will ever encounter. They can twist your damned face off.
Anyway...BEWARE THE NORTHERN RAIDS OF THE HYDROXII!
I can see it now - Oreos and Twinkies fighting it out for shelf space in the post-apocalyptic trading post.

Twinkies, yeah. I don't think they ever "spoil". And don't forget the mummified McDonald burgers and fries (https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/grandmother-shows-off-24-year-old-mcdonalds-burger-she-keeps-in-her-closet-that-she-says-has-not-rotted). :buck2:
I have Ritz Crackers from the Kennedy Administration in my cupboard. And they're still good. :bd:
I feel about seventy percent sure I've seen Hydrox cookies (not as Droxies) at the Dollar Store in recent months; because I remember thinking at the time, wow, haven't seen those in decades! Nostalgia!
If possible, I will snap a phone photo and post it, assuming my encroaching paranoia and/or uncompromising absent-mindedness allows me. To.
