People Can't Stop Fighting Over Whether These Grocery Store Cookies Are Gross Or Amazing
"I can't believe you have the NERVE to slander these delicacies."
If you've ever been to a grocery store, you've probably eaten these cookies at least a few times.
You know, the super soft sugar cookies topped with like an inch of frosting.
On Sunday, The Great Grocery Store Cookie War of 2017 commenced with the tweet heard 'round the world:
its that time of year again when stores sell these bottom of the barrel, flavorless piece of shit things they have… https://t.co/bZMJJmasLx
Taylor Haugen, a 21-year-old from Wisconsin, called the cookies "bottom of the barrel, flavorless piece of shit things they have the nerve to call cookies."
People could not believe the DISRESPECT.
