PUN:
Hydrox (the cookie) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrox
Combination of *bIQSIp* /hydrogen/ and *yInSIp*/oxygen./
The name /Hydrox/ is also a combination of the words /hydrogen/ and 
/oxygen./

/Hydrox/ is also a word for a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, once used 
as a breathing gas for deep diving.
