Is that picture actual size? That thing is bigger than my hand, even if I spread it out! If so, it must have taken a huge oven to make that!

But cookies are scrumptious!

Cakes are already part of an overused meme, brownies suck, pie is...ok, actually, but the only substitute could be fudge.

If I'm remembering correctly, the cookie thing started with a program/virus placed on computers, where the Cookie Monster would pop up and wouldn't disappear unless you typed in "cookie" to feed him. Then, he'd disappear temporarily before popping up later. How this later transferred into a reward for doing good, is unknown to me.
That sounds.........AWSOME!!! :D

Not sure.

I remember saying that to my friends when I was a kid about 16 years ago. Not sure if I picked it up off the TV though.

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually a fun virus? I want to get that, just to try it out!

OT: It's not just on The Escapist it happens, all of the internet use cookies.

That sounds awesome. :D
Interesting fact. Do you know the cookie monster doesn't eat cookies anymore. They putted Sesame street on some sort of health program because they thought it was one of the causes of childhood obesity, I think.

Perhaps it's some American childhood reward thing.
It's actually kind of a joke here whenever someone does something simple and unimpressive but they say it like it's a big deal people (Or at least I) respond "Do you want a cookie or something?" I'm not sure that's true for ALL of america but where I live it certainly is.

Well a cake doesn't really feel like a reward just something annual and cookies are simple little things.

I'd prefer a Fray Bentos pie over a cookie any day. Steak and ale please

I think it's just a really awesome resolution picture.
