In my very early years as a single mother, I was the big purple
Mother's Cookie monster in a huge suit in the middle of the grocery
store. I tried not to scare the kids but sometimes it didn't work out
that way. First day I wore shorts and a tee shirt and was HOT in the
suit, the next day I decided that I would only wear my underware,
mistake, mistake mistake... I couldn't take off the darn thing to
cool off in the break room...

Not quite the same as dunking a circus animal cookie in a cold glass
of milk, but this is still pretty cool:

Wow. Bummer. I taught a three day computer seminar and one of the
students was the CFO of Mothers Cookies. He always got special
treatment cause he brought samples. Plus he was a nice guy.

Guess he wasn't that good a CFO

Can't decide whether to add a or

I'd think that on the whole, "nice" executives finish last.

Mother's cookie company closes amid bankruptcy
October 10, 2008


OAKLAND, Calif.-Mother's Cookies has closed its doors for good.

Its Connecticut-based parent company filed for bankruptcy protection this
week. Workers at its baking and distribution plants in Ohio and Canada were
informed that operations would cease immediately.

Mother's operated in Oakland for 92 years, but left the city in 2006 after
it came under new ownership. Since then, cookies bearing the Mother's brand
were baked by Archway & Mother's Cake and Cookie Co. of Battle Creek, Mich.
Its parent company -- the private equity firm Catterton Partners of
Greenwich, Conn. -- says rising fuel and ingredient prices contributed to
the bankruptcy.

Then you won't miss them. But I'm sorry you've never had them. They were
ubiquitous, but still an institution.

I've never seen them or heard of them either. Even after clicking on
the link the logo still didn't ring a bell. Like has been stated,
they probably weren't in my area.

available I'd have had a hissy fit.

I was just in Fry's and Basha's (local) this morning and looked at the
Mother's cookies. Both stores still have all varieties on the shelf.
Basha's had them priced at their regular price of $3.00/pkg. and Basha's
had them on special for $2.00/pkg. I wonder how long the overall inventory
will last? :-(

Folks have mentioned many of the individual varieties. They also have an
assorted package of practically all the varieties they make.

For Halloween, the usual pink and white iced elephants are now dark and
light orange iced.
