Damn, I heard about this but I didn't realize they made those cookies. I love those things. Time to go to the dollar store and buy 'em out!

Goddamn George W. Bush to hell for ruining this country. All our local restaurants are shutting down from rising costs, gas prices are through the roof, a napkin is worth more than the dollar, Wall Street is dragging us all down with it, and now we loose animal cookies.

What's next?

I'd say someone's gonna assassinate Santa Claus. I can't imagine that we're becoming a world where Childhood is only 3-4 years long, but it's a fact. Mickey Mouse is stuck doing preschooler schtick for 3-4 year olds with IQ's of 1-2 year olds.... Saturday Mornings are drying up and dying out... and kid's junk food is being pulled relentlessly off the shelves for Spongebob Raisins!

And yes, the economy is dog shite right now! OOoh! We have to cut the taxes to save small business... Yah huh! How come I've seen small business go belly up every other day? You'd at least think we'd get some sort of merger deal or something.

And wasn't Archway the manufacturers of a certain brand of cookie bearing the resemblance to 4 mutant superheroes which shall remain nameless?

To Answer TMB: What worse could happen? Pepsi and Coca-Cola could merge into one disgusting conglomerate of energy drinks and flavored water. SODA IS ILLEGAL!



As for the cookies: This is sad, I remember my mom telling me about why the box always had that little string on it. It used to be that these cookies were usually given to children as Christmas cookies, and were hung in the Christmas tree for the kids to find.

All these things happening, my Childhood's starting to vanish before my eyes....

I don't think the economy or George Bush can be blamed for this after all:

And Archway maybe isn't doomed after all. Don't believe me? The candy company Fannie May almost died, but is revived and alive and well. (Not to be confused with the federal mortgage company.)

Remember the 90's folks. Hold them dear. Truly, we grew up during the last golden age for children.

I blame the laziness and apathy of our next sub-generation. And their idiot parents that form groups, instead of policing their own brats.

That said, as long as Nabisco still makes those Animal crackers in cardboard boxes with strings attached, there's still a faint glimmer of hope.

Are all of your adult lives so pathetic and un-fulfilling that you need to hang on to every single tiny thread of your childhood, or be washed away in a torrent of your own failure?

They're F*CKING COOKIES!
