Sadly, I have a ever increasing list of things to never bring home. Life’s a bitch. And then you die.
I haven’t eaten many cookies lately (not even when my mom made homemade chocolate chip) but 5- 10 years ago I had a phase for a few months when I just couldn’t get enough of windmill cookies. I hadn’t had any since years before (maybe not since childhood sometime in the 80’s) but one labor day while travelling on I-75, a rest area had a coffee and cookie table set up giving stuff away and I happened to have a windmill cookie and that got me started on them at the time.
Ain’t that how it always is? One innocent freebie somewhere and BAM! You’re hooked.
Oh, yeah, another Burry product: Fudge Town!! Used to be able to punch your pinkie finger through the hole in the middle and feast on a fudge nugget.
“So much fudge…we can hardly budge!”
Hey, I remember the Gaucho elephant wearing a Zorro-like costume! What gives?
I rarely eat cookies or any sweets for that matter. However, the one cookie I like is the Stroopwafel. The brand isn’t that important since they are somewhat specialized.
In the past I liked the Girl Scout Samoas but I haven’t bought them in many years since they are full of crap these days.
Wasn’t Zorro a gaucho? As in a Spanish cowboy. Don’t really know just seems possible.
I haven’t had a favorite cookie since childhood, and the only one I remember is Keebler’s Swedish Cremes (long-since discontinued), which I was addicted to in a major way.
The box in Chicken Fingers’s post just has a blue elephant on the front; Gaucho Elephant was much more debonair.
Bought a package of Nabisco Chips Ahoy! last night. Nuke 3 for 20 secs and pour a glass of milk.
Best snack ever. 
I bring Dollar Store cookies to my (college) students. And explain that I was raised on No Name Brand Anything.
Did we get Coke? Nope, even if we had a party it was “Jo-Jo, the Cola Flavored Soda!” Bottled by ‘Wide Joe’ in a quonset hut behind the fuse factory.
Oreos? Never… we got Vintage Cookies, that were “classics” even in the 60s.
Invariably, some of the kids’ll squeal “Windmill Cookies! All I ever got at Nana’s!” or “I remember Coconut Washboard Cookies!” or “Mmmm, hockey puck Iced Oatmeal Cookies!”
Still my favorites… as long as you have coffee to soften 'em up…
and I can treat all my classes for the week on $5.
gold emblem brand of “absolutely divine White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies made with real white chocolate - 0g trans fat per serving”, 10.6 oz for $4+ but I wait for their frequent sale price of $2.19 at CVS (often broken into little pieces) 140 cal per 29g 2-cookie “serving”.
Oh, I see, you were complaining about the lack of costuming, not how the elephant was dressed. I mis-read.
But, I can see how a gaucho dressed Elephant would be the most elegant of Pachyderms.
Gaucho…makes the sign of the “G”. (“E”?)
Zorro was a young Spanish nobleman who donned cape and mask to champion the rights of the common man and wreak vengeance on the forces of corruption and exploitation. 
I’m always amazed at how few people know where the stories were set. It helps if you’re old enough to remember the Disney series with Guy Williams.
Not Spain, not Mexico per se. Old California.
Gauchos are South American, Argentina etc.
Mexican and Californio cowboys were vaqueros.
Raises hand
Junior high heartthrob. <swoon>
Yea Disney gets all the details perfect. I shall never err on these points again.
Thanks for setting me straight there, bub!
Appreciate it.
Any form of fudge-stripe cookie: name brand, store brand, all gone.
Also, Hydrox beat Oreos all to hell, but alas they are no more, and I mourn. I think it was that the Oreo cookie is just a bit sweeter (Coke vs. Pepsi), and sweet won (c.f. New Coke)
