Fingers crossed that elves are immune from the covid.

I just stocked up...Target had them on sale...put them in the fridge for a rainy day.

I personally cannot remember the last time I bought Pepperidge Farms cookies.

[DOC44]

Empty cookie shelves coming to a grocery near you.

If the old “Pepperidge fahm remembahs” guy is still around...He’s doomed.

Good thing for their crappy cookie shortage because there’s no toilet paper to wipe with——

[Obadiah]

Okay guys, we need to sell more cookies. Put out a press release saying there may be a shortage...

[cuban leaf]

Meh. We make our own.

According to a report compiled by Top Data, American cookie consumption has increased by 25 percent since the start of the pandemic, with 1 in 5 Americans eating three or more cookies per day.

This whole story is a PR marketing ploy wrapped up as a fake "story". A fake survey, likely paid for by the company, is then pitched as a news story. A sure sign of a fake story are convenient numbers, like 25%. If they had said 17% or even 27%, it might be true, but when you see whole numbers or easily remembered fractions like 1/4, it is likely a fake.

Nice way to play off the Covid panic by the cookie company, however. And they don't even have to purchase ad space because this is all too easy a story for the lazy MSM to pitch. It has everything they want; cookies, destruction/ disappointment of a cherished holiday because the MSM loves to stomp on anything loved by the unwashed masses, and the pandemic.

Websites deeply affected...

The Chessmen cookies are the bomb.

[Leep]

Homemade cookies are ALWAYS better...flour is a little over a buck for 5 lbs?

Some of the elves saw that Ritz commercial

Re: In short supply

My favorite is “Chesapeake” chocolate pecan.

My two local stores both had major cookie sales for two weeks.

ZERO Chesapeake cookies on the shelf for the full two weeks.

The sales ended last week, and, naturally, both stores have Chesapeake again - at full price!

Bake your own cookies! Fun for the whole family!

There may be a shortage of cookies on the shelves this holiday season...

Not much of a hardship to have a shortage of something that can be made at home.

[bramps]

Sausalito Cookies are a weak spot for me.

[real saxophonist]

[China Clipper]

Yeah and Trader Joes cancelled their "pfeffernuese" cookies for the second year in a row..... There are saying the provider just can't make the grade or something like that. Damn this Covid!
They shelf a new product now, it's a "Pfeffernuese Cookie Mix", but it just isn't the same... Another Christmas tradition bites the dust...

I could care less about Pepperidge Farms holiday cookies as long as Mrs Hanes can make her awesome Moravian cookies. Been eating those since the day I was born.
