Cookie dilemma

[flippyshark]

What are Flakey Flicks? (It sounds more like my video collection than a snack product.)

[Mousey Girl]

I bought some a few months ago...a total let down. They were not a yummy as I remembered.

My mantra for myself: Guilt is a useless emotion. (I think that's a New Order song title...)

If it was me, I guess there would have been a little guilt. But that would fade because I didn't do it on purpose. I probably would have put it back or told someone about it, but I wouldn't feel obligated to buy it.

As for the hypothetical kid that would have received broken Oreos... Well, children need to learn about disappointment. Sometimes cookies break. Life's tough, junior. If you left it, you may have taught a child a valuable lesson.

(ie. After we told a husband and wife that their daughter shouldn't pet Frodo while he was on-leash, the husband let the kid do it any way. The kid began to poke Frodo in the face. Frodo snarled and barked at her. The kid cried. We felt horrible, but we told them not to let the kid pet him and they let her do it any way. So I didn't feel too bad. The kid was fine. Not only that, the kid learned that not all dogs are Lassies. Some are short legged Cujos... )

You can see the flaky flix here apparently also in a chocolate flavor, as well. I've never had them. For Mothers cookies, my favorites always were (and probably always shall be) the simple but yummy Circus Animals.

Oh, as for the guilt factor. As a former Safeway employee, if I drop something, I let them know, and go on my merry way without guilt.

Call me old-fashioned, but I like Chips Ahoy. I've even started eating the Reduced Fat ones so I can eat twice as much...

This is totally weird, but I like eating Chips Ahoy cookies after they've been open for awhile. Then they get kinda soft. But I don't like Chewy Chips Ahoy because they're too chewy and too sweet...

I'm high maintenance...

I can't stand store bought cookies. Any of them. If I'm going to indulge in a cookie, it's going to be hot out of my oven.

When I say store bought, I don' mean a bakery. I mean out of a package.

Oh, and taking the broken whatever to a stock person or cashier is the obvious thing to do. It's not like anyone breaks things on purpose.

Mothers stopped making Flakey Flix after some investment conglomerate bought the company.

Mother's doesn't appear to have a website, but you can contact the owners, Catterton Partners, here.

I can't imagine life without flaky flix!

That's quite the super-sphincter they installed in ya, Leo.


Can you also bake brownies in that thang?

Would you like me to package up a hot steamy one and send it to you?
