I've dipped out on the Cookie Crisp mythology in recent years. Back in the day, there was a Wizard named Cookie Jarvis that magically made the Cookie Crisp. Then Jarvis died in a magic battle with Lucky, the Leprechaun from Lucky Charms so they hired a duo - Officer Crumb, a cop, and the Cookie Crook --who was this little 1950's style robber that wore a chef's hat with cookies on it and a little Zorro mask. At first the Cookie Crook would triumph against Crumb, but soon General Mills went soft and didn't think it was cool to show cops getting duped by cookie thieves. So for most of his reign, much like the Trix rabbit, the Cookie Crook never pulled off another caper. But in the end of the Cookie Crook's days, before he went to prison for life, he had a dog named Chip, who took over for awhile. Then they hired this Wolf guy, who's also called Chip, but who was originally called Howler. It's like the longest, most confusing story in history of cereal. |
