Worst Cookie [NOT 13/6/23]

13/6/23 brightersideoflife 25

Hi, friends!

Work brought in lunch for us, and I was super excited about the cookie. ALAS. Oatmeal raisin.

It’s a cookie that can be awesome when you make them at home. But almost always they suck when you get them premade.

What’s your least favorite option?

  1. All cookies are good? Not really.

    Ginger snaps are my least favorite. I like ginger and I like cookies, but I would pass on the Ginger Snap which unfortunately look a bit like peanut butter cookies till you get a whiff of the ginger.

    When I was a kid (not as smart as I thought I was) I went a cousin’s university graduation and picked out what I thought were grapes. Nope… never had black olives before.

    Yeah, very similar. A level of deep disappointment at thinking you’re going to eat something with peanut butter and it’s a fucking Ginger Snap cookie.

    Again, I would like to remind folks that I prefer the oreo cookie part over the creamy center so my opinions shouldn’t be taken seriously…

    • The off-brand ones are *far* better, than the name-brand ones!😉😁💖

      (We were literally just talking about that, last week, at the Pre-K program–because our program *used* to get the “real” ones–which would often *arrive* rancid-tasting from the vendor, so we started getting the Sysco-brand ones… which *actually* taste vanilla-y and good!😂🤣

       

  6. One of the greatest betrayals my body has pulled on me (and it’s done quite a few) is its decision that I should never eat a Girl Scout Thin Mint again. I don’t know if they changed the recipe (probably; they’re probably 90% petroleum products and ethanol at this point) but now two or three of them leave me incredibly queasy and with a splitting migraine. When I was growing up I could eat an entire box.

  8. Instant Brand, the current owner of the Instapot is in bankruptcy.

    I find this ironic as the designers were originally exNortel types (who worked at Nortel Labs in Ottawa) were let go when Nortel went belly up under similar circumstances as Instant Brand (overleveraged, too many acquisitions and living off their line of credit.

    • Instant Pots are great, I tend to use mine once a week. I just made a bunch of yogurt. It’s just that after a lot of people bought one the market got saturated. They last and almost nobody needs two. So I can see how pressure to grow became a problem.

        • I have three instant pots and I use them all the time…at the same time. AND I just got myself a new(ish) freezer so I can step up the frequency of my instant pot use.

            • I still only really need two for what I do because the third is only for rice…which is usually 4 minutes for basmati…so if/when you suffer that inevitable fate I’ll be more than happy to send you one of mine. Unfortunately, I’ve suffered a loss…I used to have four 🙁

        • I kept the recipe booklet and the description is pretty straightforward. You just need a thermometer to know when it’s ready for the starter dose of regular yogurt.

          If you make the yogurt with whole milk and then strain it through a dish towel for Greek yogurt, OMFG.

  10. I’ll preface this by saying that if the chocolate chip cookie in question is chewy and moist and relatively fresh, then sure, I’ll try to get that thing in my mouth almost as soon as it’s offered. But if it’s one of a few dozen sold in a clear plastic case by Sam’s, then I’m just leaving that shit for my dad upstairs in the den at my parents’ house, right on top of the AM/FM-cassette player that’s supposed to resemble an antique radio set, which they bought in this century.

  12. I am convinced that the secret ingredients in *unfrosted* Oatmeal Raisin cookies especially the EVIL ones, where they fine-grind the Oatmeal, are disappointment and *LIES*!

     

    Because *that* is what they taste the most of!😉

    😆😂🤣💖
