So Long, Mother's Cookies

This is exactly why Mondays are disgusting and gross. I always hear horrific news like this on a Monday morning. Workers at Mother's Cookies were told on October 3rd that the company is shutting down for good and cookies will no longer be made. NO!!!!! Who's going to make those delicious frosted animal cookies?! I used to eat that shit with milk for breakfast.

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last Monday. Their distribution plants in Ohio and Canada are closed forever The private equity firm that owned Mother's blamed rising fuel and ingredient prices. I blame those Keebler elves. Do those bitches have an alibi? And if the Keebler elves are involved, you know the Olsen trolls had something to do with it.

Employees at Mother's were not given the federally required 60-day notice due to "unforeseeable business circumstances." That means they couldn't pay them anymore.

This is the end of an era. It's also the end of days. Why go on if we can't have those scrumptious frosted circus animal cookies anymore?

If you'll excuse me, I have to furiously search the interwebs and buy up every last bag of Circus Animal cookies. Since the world is ending, I want to go down stuffing my face with sprinkled frosted goodness.

Rest in peace, Mother's Cookies....

Is this a regional thing? I've never heard of them. Of course, I don't really haunt the cookie section of the grocery store, either.

Never heard of those things. They look spectacularly unhealthy. So they're probably tasty...
