Cookie Controversy - Toss Those Cookies
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
What you ask?Nuclear proliferation, injustice, human trafficking, belly fat?Yes, but also...
The "Limited Edition" Swedish Fish Oreo Cookie
Misguided on so many levels
A cookie is not a collector's item.A collector's item is "an object of interest to collectors, especially because it is rare, beautiful, or associated with someone famous."What am I going to do? Display the open package of Oreos in a glass case with Faberge eggs, Limoges tea cups, and regrettable Beanie Babies?Should I collect a limited edition book or first edition classic? Yes!Literature and art lend themselves to collecting - not trans fat cookies with globs of goo comprised of corn syrup, mineral oil, red dye number 40, and carnauba wax.
Cookie Monster
As a Swedish Fish purist, I also object.Stuffing an Oreo with a slick foreign fruit gel is like wearing cultured pearls with Kmart jeans.The food industry is insulting our sensibilities and fine taste.Connoisseurs unite.Say NO to collector cookies.
Cookies should be eaten - not collected
