So here's my beef lately.I've been hearing terrible things and it has, interestingly enough, come into a whole bunch of conversations lately: the rumor that my home-boy is now the VEGGIE monster?! ...um. EXCUSE ME?!
So I decided to do a little mythbuster-ing and it was a relief to see this:
Fun Facts About Cookie Monster
Description : Cookie lover
Birthday : November 2
Fur Color : Blue
Likes : Eating crunchy fruits, vegetables, and, of course, cookies!
Favorite Food : Cookies, cookies, and more cookies
So: The title remains true. However - likes eating crunchy fruits and vegetables? I'm sorry, when's the last time you knew a cookie-obsessed child who willingly listed "eating crunchy fruits and vegetables" as a "like." I'm just sayin...
And so the myth is busted - kind of. He's still the cookie monster of my childhood, though i don't really agree with his shift in nutritional ethics. Ho hum.
We should invent characters that parallel the Cookie Monster, but are related to other delicious foods/treats. Like Rice Krispie Treats or brownies or something. And why not add like "the Soda Guzzling Monster" while we're at it? He could have really dark, rigid, dissolved teeth.
