you only get one. which is it?

[ClifSpliffy]

not which type/brand of each you prefer, just which category of snack you'd be good with forever, to the exclusion of the others.
an existential question, methinks.
Existential theory is a centuries-old philosophy. It embraces personal freedom and choice. It purports that humans choose their own existence and meaning. European philosopher Søren Kierkegaard is thought to be one of the first philosophers of existential theory. Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre followed him and further developed the ideas.

Chocolate chip cookies were the mainstay of my childhood.No brand, any chocolate chip cookies.

 

[Blakeon18]

Cookies win! Margin would be similar to UConn over Mercer.

 

[Beemer]

Got to go with a cookie, preferably toll house or Oreos

uh, oh. the early returns from Dixville Notch could be highly disappointing to the op. mebbe all that sugar is going to peoples heads, and making them overly emotional, or spiritual? i mean, iffn u want to see a seemingly calm and normal kid go absolutely bananas, and bounce around like a pingpong ball, just feed him/her a bucket of cookies. i know, and do this often when we take our youth program on a trip. strategic cookie disbursement, with a kicker of juice, garuntees their 'up' energy for the hike at hand, and similarily garuntees their crashing on the bus home.
a bus full of uncrashed kids only garuntees a very loud and boisterous trip home, mostly consisting of screams for ice cream, or cookies.
on the udder hand, i don't usually have much luck when offering rye triscuits, which often just results in some prankster throwing a towel or such, at me.

Chocolate chip cookies and milk - always was and continues to be for me.
I'm a dunker. There, I said it!

Fyodor Dostoyevsky ( 1821 - 1881 ) was (IMO) an early Existentialist. He would have chosen chocolate chip
cookies during in "Prison Life in Siberia" (1861 - 1862 ). We don't need any more existential crises this
season... more wins! and more COOKIES! Go Huskies!

Homemade cookies (and box mix brownies) are the best!

I agree about the homemade cookies. I'm ok with brownies, but much prefer them in the batter form. I could gobble up spoonfuls of that all day (of course I'd get way sick, but you get my point!)...

My wife makes a cookie with: milk, semi sweet and dark chocolate chips, plus crushed Butterfingers. Decadent!

This is a question I pose annually to my students (and is tangentially related): If you could only eat foods starting with one letter of the alphabet, what letter would it be?

I always pick C because I get crackers, chips, cookies AND coffee, cream, champagne, carrots, chocolate, and chicken . . .

(P is one runner up: pizza, potatoes, prosecco, pancakes, peanut butter, . . . as is S: seafood, sushi, salad, etc.)

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Change cracker to crack...and I'll answer.

 

[sun]

Popcorn

 

[OviedoFLHusky]

Popcorn

This. With butter & salt. All day. Every day.

Normally I would have clicked on cookie....but I eat healthier now, and its boring.

 

[Scud49]

Homemade oatmeal and molasses cookies.....mega good stuff.

listen here, zman, u and ur pal footodor make us nervous with ur 4 syllable names, and why is existentialist capitalized? if that's the case, then us zaheads demand equal props - Pizzaists. there's way more of us than youse epistemologists, who apparently sit around all day trying to answer questions like, What is knowledge? Do we know anything at all? How do we know what we know?
and speaking of grand, head hurting questions, (join us zaheads! our big questions usually revolve around extra cheese, fresh garlic, peppers, wetnaps. now these are truly important issues) ...
in what category do cheese doodles belong, chip, cracker, or something else?
(my folks call them that, and told me they were here way before cheetos and the others.)
apologies to the cheese polymer thing people for the oversight. i used to like them once upon a time, but now my heart for orange dust belongs to doritos. or cheezits.
addendum (i hear that u philosophy types use this word often): apparently, there are people who eat popcorn and pretzels, and not in the usual way of finding them kicking around when none of the other stuff is there, but actually going to the super to specifically buy them.
so what category do they fit in? this is getting hard... mebbe i should refine the poll to two choices - salt or sugar? that should cover it all, except for u wasabi pea people. i hear that u can turn green from eating that stuff.

I don't have a box of girl scout cookies in front of me, but if the girl scouts wanted truth in advertising, the servings per box would be 1.

Oatmeal raisin is the most under appreciated cookie I can think of.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Oatmeal raisin is the most under appreciated cookie I can think of.

While I guess this applies to every cookie, an oatmeal raisin really has to be done right. I can handle crunchy or chewy but the flavor balance and balance to oat, raisin and mixture has to be spot on. things like peanut butter cookies or chocolate chip have a lot more room for variation and still be good.

who the heck is lorna dunne?
what happened to gingerbread cookies? when i was a kid, that stuff seemed to be a lot more common.

This is a trick question; you pick cookie and you end up with a life time supply of Lorna Doones.

Unless I get to pick the cookies, go with chips.
