"Iconic"?? They were shit! That's why they are gone. And nothing of value was lost.

[Thanos]

Dare's all the way. And the store no-name brand cookies are usually good as well.

[DrCaleb]

Nothing compares to cookies you made yourself. Butter, sugar, flour. . .fast and easy.

Not hard little lumps of something that seems like it was a cookie, 30 or 40 years ago.

Ditto.

The people who were so outraged that they were calling the manufacturer and the media to complain about a fucking cheap mass-market grocery store cookie need to spend the day volunteering at a soup kitchen or a women's shelter to get their priorities straight. Have these people nothing else to complain about?

Bullshit, they were the only Dad's cookie that was good. Like the lady said, shortbread.

All the rest aren't chocolate chips cookies, they're chocolate bars with some cookie dough included.
All store cookies have turned into shit these days. $4-$5 for an ever-shrinking size bag of quarter sized cookies so thin they must be made with a food printer.

Sorry Herb, but if you think those resemble 'shortbread' then you must never have had any. Shortbread and Scotch, that's a treat during the Christmas holidays. Fresh from the oven!

But I do agree, the things they sell in stores can only loosely be referred to as 'cookies'.

Shortbread straight from the oven? It's gotta sit in the crock jar for months to firm up.

Just another modern annoyance courtesy of some marketing idiot. Like not being able to buy an edible donut at Timmies anymore, 1,000,000,000 outlets for sugar free pop so long as it's Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke, and going to the mall after freezing your balls off during March yardwork to see all the displays of beachballs, flipflops and suntan lotions, ads for Ice Capps everywhere...
Same idiots who got caught flatfooted this year. Filled the stores with Easter candy the day after Valentines and Easter took so long the candy was old and discounted by the time it got here.

[raydan]

Never tried them... seems like I didn't miss much.

The only good cookies in a box I've found are these... but usually I make my own.

Little Debbie...that slut!

Solution to problem: Choose another brand from the other dozen or so the fucking store sells [/Bubbles voice]

[xerxes]

These cookies are affecting my waistline as of late....

[Thanos]

SuperStore way back when had a President's Choice line that was all-soft cookies. Their chocolate chip was insanely good.

K I admit, I don't really like chocolate chip cookies, I liked Dad's because they were sparing (okay -cheap) with them.
The good store cookies are those Penis Freaks strawberry ones.
