Famous Amos

Did you ever try Famous Amos cookies when they were still good?

OP, don't wake the woke brigade. They'll be "shook" like a baby in Britain. They'll be "pressed" like a new pair of "slacks". Hopefully they aren't "thicc" because you might end up with a boot in your left or right "cake". They're going to be "extra" about this like something superfluous.

I tried them when they had been around for a while. They were just OK. I’m sure they were a lot better when they first came on the market.

No, OP. As a white person, that would have been cultural appropriation.

I think OP means when the guy was making them himself. They were quite the rage, so I’ve heard.

I still like the current corporate version enough to buy them in a vending machine situation.

I only like Girl Scout Thin Mints (yeah, a bit of a basic here, but whatever), crispy thin gingerbread/gingersnaps, & shortbread (sweet jam thumbprints, and savory herb & cheese).

I guess my point is that I never saw the appeal. So, no. I wasn't, nor am I am I fan. And Debbie Fields can suck it too. Although I love what I've heard of her story...divorcing her husband and then using the money gained in that divorce to start the company. I'm not sure how much of it is true, but I never saw the appeal of those cookies, either.

The cookies were such better quality they were sold in boxes at Saks Fifth Avenue in the early 80s.

They would never carry those bags of cookies on their shelves nowadays.

They were insane in the 80s. They're still okay now.

IMO, they were never good, unless you like cookies with the texture of rocks.

I remember eating them when they first came out. The did taste good, but I disliked the texture. I preferred chewy cookies and these were very "crispy" even after dunking them in milk.

I have a famous anus. Oh wait, I may have misheard you, what?

Pepperidge Farm cookies are better (except for the "soft" ones, they taste like shit).
