Cookie dilemma

Cadaverous Pallor · 07-02-2006, 07:22 PM

Today at the supermarket I met up with a small moral dilemma that I thought interesting enough to mention here.

I picked up and looked at a package of Oreo Dunkers, which are Oreo cookies in a long oval shape for dunking. I put the package back, then picked up a package of normal Oreos to purchase. As I did so, I knocked the Dunkers package off the shelf and onto the floor. The corner hit the ground and obviously broke some of the cookies inside.

My immediate reaction was to put the Dunkers back and keep my intact Oreos. I walked three aisles away and then became overwhelmed with guilt. I ran back and took the damaged package instead. I kept thinking of children being disappointed at not being able to dunk their Dunkers.

Am I crazy? Was I responsible for the broken cookies, or was my guilt center on overdrive? I felt much better knowing I had "done the right thing".
