So Long, Mother's Cookies
This is exactly why Mondays are disgusting and gross. I always hear horrific news like this on a Monday morning. Workers at Mother's Cookies were told on October 3rd that the company is shutting down for good and cookies will no longer be made. NO!!!!! Who's going to make those delicious frosted animal cookies?! I used to eat that shit with milk for breakfast.
The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last Monday. Their distribution plants in Ohio and Canada are closed forever The private equity firm that owned Mother's blamed rising fuel and ingredient prices. I blame those Keebler elves. Do those bitches have an alibi? And if the Keebler elves are involved, you know the Olsen trolls had something to do with it.
Employees at Mother's were not given the federally required 60-day notice due to "unforeseeable business circumstances." That means they couldn't pay them anymore.
This is the end of an era. It's also the end of days. Why go on if we can't have those scrumptious frosted circus animal cookies anymore?
If you'll excuse me, I have to furiously search the interwebs and buy up every last bag of Circus Animal cookies. Since the world is ending, I want to go down stuffing my face with sprinkled frosted goodness.
Rest in peace, Mother's Cookies....

Thanks Danielle
Not quite the same as dunking a pink circual animal into a glass of milk, but this is still one pretty cool way to let Mother's Cookies live on:

Oh FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! My kid loves these things. So does my fat ass. We could only get them when we are in the US. Why didn't we stock up last time. SHIT. I wonder if I can find more, we are there every other week! He's only two and a half. How do we break the news to him. :(
Sweet Lord baby Jesus in heaven, why do things like this happen? First Rupert, now this? I'm sticking my head in the oven in 3, 2, 1.....
These cookies were nasty...sorry, they tasted like candles most of the time. The oatmeal ones were okay, but after awhile it was just like eating ten spoons of sugar.
Your face!
I am really upset about this news! first and for most these cookies were madd cheap 2 bucks and you get millions of cookies! so upsetting! if mothers leaves is archway also leaving?
Wait! Are they shutting down just the frosted animal ones or the combo bag with the chocolate ones too??? SADNESS!

*Sigh* I can't find the humor in this. A lot of people are losing their jobs.
But the Bush and Cheney clans gets to skip off into the sunset much RICHER and untouched by any of the economic chaos.
PSL and all Luda fans: I want him to say to me "If your man doesn't tell you how beautiful you are every day then let me tell you, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BABY." OMG I love his voice
have you ever heard this song SUGAR with him and Trick Daddy?

Mine is not nearly as exciting, but my husband called on his lunch break about an hour ago to tell me he talked to Maria Menounous this morning. He seemed quite smitten with her and said she was extremely polite and friendly. I said, "yes, but did her hair have VOLUME?"
So yeah, I'm totally jealous of PSL and my husband, I haven't seen anybody famous in weeks.

NOOOOOOOOO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! MY FAVORITE! I eat the entire bag and feel sick afterward but can't stop eating the whole bag every time.
Oooooo, saddness. Bye, bye frosted aminals.
Lets not get crazy and blame the economy for every company that goes bellyup.
--------------------------------------------------
Ummm.... did you read the company's reasons for going bankrupt???
(1)increased fuel prices
(2) increased ingredient prices
Sure sounds like the economy to me.
Sadness.
MY FAT CHOCA (yeah right, i want one) IS SCREAMING IN PAIN!
my life is in shambles, MK--thank you for delivering the news that has ruined my week.
my fatass could give a shit about the failing economy and end of days! THESE SHITS WERE GOOD!
Mr. Sally is going to be heartbroken
I just saw them yesterday in a Rite Aid. I thought about getting them but didn't. Now I'm gonna have to go back and get them!
THIS is where we need the bailout, man. that sucks.
Archway cookies are awesome but I haven't been able to find any in NYC for about 4 years now. At least not anywhere that I shop.
Lets not get crazy and blame the economy for every company that goes bellyup. Some companies mess up their distribution, marketing, and product so they end up going out of business.
Fucking love those cookies.There's a site that specializes in discontinued brands.I order my Black Jack chewing gum from it.Maybe the closeout inventory will end up there.Maybe someone will scoop up all the IP at a fire sale price and make them small batch.
Those cookies are sprinkled with crack.
For some reason, I only liked to eat the pink ones...they some how taste better than the white ones. I'm a cookie racist. a cookist.
HAHA love the file name on the cookies!
Also this is atrocious. RIP mother's cookies.

Awww, I used to love the circus animal cookies. They were kind of waxy on the outside, but oh so good. Those and the English tea cookies they made for snobs like me. The poor man's white oreo. Wait that doesn't sound right. The cookie was the poor man's white/vanilla oreo. Whew.
I only like the sugar cookies that come at Christmas time w/ christmas color sprinkles.. doens't matter, I'm allergic to flour and wheat so I can't eat them anyways.. Ho hum!!!

Don't we make you Laugh??
Aren't we Fuckin Funny!!!?
No loss,those cookies sucked.
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Crap. Another victim of the wall street bailout. If this doesn't make the masses revolt in anger, nothing will.
OMG, Noooooo! I loved those cookies! Not to mention the little square chocolate chip cookies they made. Best cookies ever! Sadness.
And so begins the Greater Depression.
Salem13.. Amen to that!

We love those things.
Also heard Archway has gone belly-up.
Next thing you know, Pepperidge Farm will stop making Milanos.
WHAT?!!!!
Why couldn't it have been one of those soyjoy or nature valley crap that sell horse grain and try to pass it off as "nutrition bars". THIS IS BULLSHIT!

So you’re talking someone that’s as stupid and talentless and messed up as Britney Spears cooking? Anthony Bourdain
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Damn this economy! Must it ruin everything I cherished from my childhood?
I seriously can't believe there are posters who've never heard of these cookies! They've been around for I don't know how many decades. They rate right up there with unicorns and rainbows!
Excuse me, I must go start my 72-hour suicide watch now.

OMG I totally forgot about the dutch cocoa cookies! *drooling* So damn delicious!
