Marketing genius, or commentary on US eating habits?

And more importantly, is they tasty?

I noticed the whole grains label on the lower left hand corner. Fuck, I saw chips-ahoy cookies now made with "whole grain". Well at least they wrote "breakfast cookie" like the wholesomness of oatmeal is available in cookie form.

*Sigh.* Thought maybe this was a joke and then I googled it. Ladies and gentleman, BBabe is not yanking your chain.

It's both marketing genius and a commentary on the amount of time we devote to breakfast. I can picture a river of commuters in bumper-to-bumper traffic plowing through these on Rt. 95. Don't have to stop at a store or drive through and you can keep the box in your car.

Betcha they don't taste exactly like cookies. They probably did at one time but had to give them the faint adult, taste of vitamins to please those in the focus group who claimed they wouldn't eat cookies for breakfast.

I wouldn't eat cookies for breakfast. Have you all disowned me, now?

But I'll tell you all what: on the weekends, the perfect brunch? Coffee with peanut M and Ms. (as the first meal of the day). GIDDY UP.

Create a poster for THAT!

If I'm eating a cookie for breakfast, it better be full of milk chocolatey, crispy, unhealthy goodness.
