Why a Cookie?

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss about on the Escapist.
For the time I've been here on the escapist I always see people awarding each other on the Escapist with a picture of a cookie whenever they get a question of some sort right.
This got me wondering.
Why does it always have to be a cookie and if it wasn't a cookie what would it be?
If it couldn't be a cookie I would use this.

You get the knowledge and satisfaction of knowing the answer to my question before anyone else could. Use it wisely

I used it once before.
Yes, I know I'm a diabolical genius.
Note: Does anyone know how or who started with the talk of cookies on the Escapist?

Good point, Have a...

I say "Do you want a medal?" quite a lot. I think it sounds better than a cookie personally.
I think the whole cookie thing started because of Chris Rock, on one of his stand up shows he said "What do you want, a cookie?"

The whole cookie thing started way before Escapist. I have no idea where it came from though. People all over the internet use that term.

I like it though. I love me some cookies! I wish I had some sugar cookies right now.

Screw the cookie, I demand grade-A sushi and Filet Mignon. Chop chop.

I dunno I guess people really really like cookies?

I prefer cake.... my brother is an excellent baker, and he makes a delicious frosting *om nom nom nom* Or we could award each other chinchilla's, nothing makes a person quite as happy as a chinny chilla

HEY, I did a thread about "why the cookie" AGES ago! grrrrrr...

OT, in my own thread (grrrrrrr) people seemed to prefer the cookie... in a poll, people preferred the cookie to the options of pies, cakes, and the like.

Sorry I checked the search bar and couldn't find any threads like this.
I'll be more careful when I'm using it.

Thats alright, so long as you tried its fine... besides, I did make the thread a while ago, it might have gone by now.

Why all the hatred towards brownies all of a sudden (please no racist jokes)? I loved brownies as a kid; even more than cookies.

Same here, still do.

Rewarding a cookie with a cookie? Genius! That deserves a cookie.

OT: I'm not entirely sure why the cookie is so popular. Maybe it's that little jump of excitement when you get one. I know I get one when I have a cookie.

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!

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

Yes, the world just isn't ready for the awesomeness of a cookie that big!
