memecucker:

Hydrox derived its name from the atoms that make up the water molecule (hydrogen and oxygen). In 1908, the creators of the cookie were looking for a name that would convey “purity and goodness.”^[2]

branding is important because otherwise your original cream cookie will get overtaken by an imitating competitor because for some reason you gave your chocolate and cream cookie a name based the atoms that make up water molecules in addition to sounding like a cleaning product

I want a crossover between this Hydrox/Oreo shit and the story where someone looked at Go and was like “this is cool but let’s make it casual and racial and call it Othello”
