Dead at 94: R.I.P. Mother's Cookies

[i am furby]

You know the economy is in shambles when one of the best stoner foods goes under.

I know I am going to miss these...

I went to the store today for some groceries and they were ALL OUT of these. Get them while you can people!

From NPR news:

http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=3"October 10, 2008 ·Mother's Cookies, the company that makes the Circus Animal cookies with pink and white frosting and sprinkles, is shutting down.

Founded 92 years ago in Oakland, Calif., it changed hands many times and has shifted work to other parts of the country.

Its owner filed for bankruptcy protection this week, citing the cost of raw materials and fuel plus difficulty finding credit."

That's sad. It was an Oakland institution, like Granny Goose chips and Cornnuts:

Those animal cookies with frosting = crack

I remember my mom giving me some when I was little, and fell in love.

Stupid economy.
