o-Kay, I bought a bag of the Nabisco Classics, they looked good, and taste nothing like Mothers Cookies.
So, Nabisco performed some kind of cookie chicanery on the unsuspecting Mothers Cookie lovers of the world.
I checked online and saw that it was Kelloggs (not Nabisco) who bought the Mothers recipes and brands. Kelloggs is supposed to bring back Mothers cookies sometime in 2009. I sent them a message and asked about it, no idea if they will respond or not.
You damn Nabisco Elves know right where you can stick these not really Mothers Circus Animal Cookies. Bastards.
So further searching tells me that
Kelloggs is making them. There is a coupon, but these were not in the local Safeway in FiDi, only the crappy Nabisco Imposters I spent hard earned $$ on. Now to find the real deal and taste test them.
