I just bought the last bag of Circus Animals and the last two bags of Cookie Parade for sale at the Church and Market Safeway. I'm going to guard them with my life...

Maybe someone local will buy the recipes and equipment at auction? The company was sold to some private equity firm, surely they would like to get at least a little bit of cash for the assets.

oh no a part of me just died. i heard this on npr this morning (even though i'm temporarily living in LA). when i get back to the bay area so much will have changed. no one understands the love for mother's cookies like a bay native.

"Alas, poor Mothers Cookies! I knew them, Horatio: a cookie of infinite deliciousness, of most excellent fancy: they hath borne me on their back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those drips of icing that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your crumbs now? your chips? your fillings? your flashes of tastiness, that were wont to set the table on a roar?

This is just so depressing. This is the effect of corporate bullsnot on local institutions. Too bad the local lefties could give two sh*ts about this - they'd rather rail on conditions elsewhere and not give a crap about the workers at Mother's cookies. Frak all of you who didn't care. and Frak all of you newcomer liberals who hate anything like Mother's Cookies. You all suck ass. Deny it only to soothe your conscience, enemies of cookies!

I'm with Troy and Akit: definitely the baseball cards. Why does the world seem to suck more and more with each passing day? I

I still remember the baseball cards they would make for those giveaways at the Giants games. Those were fun times.

these are the guys who made the Windmill style almond cookies too, right? I've had fond memories of having them even as a kid, (feels like) 100 years ago.

Hurry, buy your last bags now, then sell them at triple the price on ebay.

Oh noes. No more Cookie Parade? No more Circus Animals? This is a sad day, indeed.
