But when that was removed, I don't remember the flavor changing. Cookies were heavenly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I remember going to one of the bakeries on a school trip when I was really young... like in the second grade. We got to eat the raw cookie dough... loved those cookies with some milk. He was an icon in the African American community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I remember my dad telling me a story of when he had to spend weekends in jail a few decades back. He'd keep telling the guy he was sharing a cell with about how all he wanted was some Famous Amos cookies, and the guy got more and more pissed each time, telling my dad to stop reminding him of Famous Amos cookies. My dad thought it was fucking hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
