Hysterical

I have read chapters of this book outloud to friends over and over and over. It's drop dead, laugh out loud funny. With lines like "Contrary to popular opinion, the Fruite Brute was not Gay" and chapters analyzing the evolution of Cookie Monster's decades of Odes to Chococate Chip obsession, how can you go wrong?

Funny, Funny, Funny-Perfect for traveling or the beach

This book is an indepth look at junk food and its culture. It brings up philosophy dispensed by The Cookie Monster. Everything you ever wanted to know about gum, chocolate, cookies, candy and cereal. Celebrity quotes on their favorite junk foods. It is interesting as well as one of the funniest books I've ever read. It is perfect for the beach or commuting on public transportation. This is a book that will be passed from person to person and re-read many times. I can't recommend it more highly. It's perfect for what it is aiming to be. An amusing exploration of our nations real favorite past time.
