A suburban Philadelphia bakery’s cookie “poll” that started during the 2008 presidential campaign as a joke between the owners and their customers has grown into much more.
Lochel's Bakery in Hatboro is swamped with orders. People are driving from a couple hours away to buy the cookies in person and shipment orders are coming from as far away as Alaska.
The bakery sells 4-inch round sugar cookies, one with blue and white sprinkles and a Harris 2024 label on it and the other with red and white sprinkles and a Trump 2024 label on it.
The cookie poll started in 2008 and accurately predicted the winner the first three times, but not in 2020, when Republican Donald Trump lost the election for the White House to Democrat Joe Biden.
Kathy Lochel, whose husband is Lochel’s third-generation baker, said sales exploded that year, as customers bought thousands of cookies.
“It’s just a fun, non-stressful tally that we’re taking," Lochel said. "It’s definitely not scientific. It’s just a delicious way I say to take the pressure off with what is going on with the election, all the ads, all the campaign stuff, just a cookie.
"I can’t emphasize that more. It’s just a cookie.”
Helene Moran bought Trump cookies on her 82nd birthday with her daughter and son-in-law who live in North Carolina.
“Which we do whenever Trump is up for election,” said Moran, who lives near the bakery. “He’s my sweetheart, I love him so much.”
This year, election cookie sales are outpacing 2020’s sales.

“Trump’s numbers may have gotten a boost after he shared a story about the cookie poll on his social media platform. As of Tuesday, Trump was leading Harris, 12,558 to 889 — a far bigger lead than pollsters have found.”
Ok... i want to see the meme now of a fat Kamala buying up and eating all her own cookies.
Because of mass vote fraud in Pennsylvania (and elsewhere). I will never believe Trump lost Pennsylvania in 2020.
Currently out of stock for both candidates.

Not a stretch - marijuana stimulates the appetite.

There’s the final piece of evidence proving The Steal.
So are the apple cider donuts darn it! Looks like quite a few items “out of stock”/sold out. I may look later on after publicity dies down.
Fixed.
Off topic- can’t remember if you are a car person or not? I think I remember posts by you on the topic? If not, my apologies, but if so, you and others might enjoy the following vid on the new 2025 Pontiac GTO-

So another bellweather came in for Trump…
Or Arizona- there were a couple of other iffy states too we thought he won but was cheated out of

Hope pres Trump sees the report and invites her onstage for a brief word to the crowd.
There’s a bunch of those retro redo vids out there. The cars look really cool. As I understand though it they’re AI.
I was under the impression they were going to manufacture it?
Bah I shoulda read the comments under the video- looks like it’s a scam- don’t, I wish they would bring back the classics- almost all the cars today look alike and are uninspiring imo.
Oh well. Ignore my post with the link folks-
Me too. I want the Trump cookies!
12,558 to 889! — I’ll take a dozen Trump, please.
Trump won PA 2020, too. Election night 2020, Trump was up 3/4 million votes with, as the TV networks said, “all the votes were in from Pittsburgh and Philly.”
Then the order was shouted to STOP COUNTING! in several Democrat states and the rest is sad history.
