Breakfast Cookies

Quaker Breakfast Cookie.

Without too much trouble, this should be a finalist for Most Unnecessary Foodstuff of 2006. First off, there’s only one cookie in there. Why cookies on the label, plural? It’s like the opposite of Triscuit.

And to state the obvious: cookies for breakfast? How about some Cookie Crisp? Or, dude, just grab some Chips Ahoy! and a fistful of vitamins. Yeah, each Quaker Cookies has five grams of dietary fiber; however you’ll also note it’s not a low or reduced-fat product, because if it was, it’d be the first thing you’d notice on the label, not the impish grin of a porky Christian.
