Flame bait poll. Go ahead, fight it out.

If you absolutely had to make a decision, what kind of cookie would you ban from the world?

[kayakjohnny]

1. Fig Newtons

That is all I have to add.

[rurallib]

2. I must support your position

However a plate of the other choices will be needed for research.

4. I thought those were cakes? n/t

8. Her brother invented gravity

Before gravity, building the pyramids and climbing Mt Everest were no sweat at all.

3. Other: All grocery store bakery cookies and "break and bakes"

At least those from my local grocery stores. They're faux "homemade" cookies, but you can taste all the preservatives, greasy shortening, and artificial flavorings in them. Yuk. Definitely not worth the calories they contain.

As for the "break and bakes", it's not that difficult to make cookies from scratch. I make a double batch, roll half of it up into logs, wrap them in plastic, and freeze them. Later, when I have a taste for cookies, it's "thaw, slice, bake." You can even freeze them as balls, if you just want a couple cookies at a time.

5. Well, we can't get rid of chocolate chip... that's just un-patriotic

Ditto Oreos.

Oatmeal and oatmeal raisin are delicious.

Ginger snaps are a critical component of a delicious baked ham, so those stay.

Peanut butter... well, the kid likes them.

Lemon... meh. I have no beef with them.

Macaroons... I'm not sure what they are.


That leave the coconut one. I'm not a fan of coconut, particularly, so OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!!!

11. Why would you want to ban cookies?

I guess, if I had to, it would be any shortbread cookie that does not contain butter. They're just too disappointing: you're all ready for that delicious buttery taste, and then you bite into something that tastes like partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Yuk.

[charlie and algernon]

12. wow, so apparently we're going to be stuck with lemon cookies

after every other cookie gets banned.

[ceile]

13. Anything with coconut.

That goes for Mounds and Almond Joy too. Blech.

[geardaddy]

14. Chips Ahoy.

Nasty, nasty, nasty.

[rug]

15. I don't care as long as it's not Mallomars.

The seasonal cookie.

[RebelOne]

16. Oatmeal raisin. I hate raisins. n/t

[kentauros]

17. Actually, ANYTHING with raisins in it.

Especially bread pudding. It's so much better with dried cranberries :9

[murielm99]

18. Other. There has to be something involving corn flakes.

We need a good fight about corn flakes.

[hifiguy]

19. Oreos.

Horrible. There's no taste of chocolate in the crushed-cardboard biscuits and the "creme filling" engineered in Dr. Frankenstein's lab, free of any natural ingredient, is ghastly beyond belief. :puke:

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Oatmeal chocolate chip. I always think they're raisins and am disappointed.

:(

21. I will KICK YOUR ASS!!

Just sayin' ...

BTW, I like cookies.
