Lerxster Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Okay, so I left the last Chips Ahoy Heath Bar flavor in the package. My wife said I shouldn't have left one, that I should have ate it. I countered that it's better to find only one cookie than no cookies. Was I wrong to leave one cookie left? Would you rather have found one than none? My wife approved this poll. This is very important. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Okay, just to clarify since my wife didn't quite like the wording. It is implied that you are in the mood for cookies, and you only find one. If you were eating cookies, would you have left one to find in the package, or would you have eaten the last cookie and thrown out the package.

Principled Man Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 QUOTE (Lerxster @ Mar 6 2012, 09:51 PM) If you were eating cookies, would you have left one to find in the package, or would you have eaten the last cookie and thrown out the package. In that case, I'm changing my vote to "Eat the Cookie".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Eat it and throw out the package. It's no big deal but it's like leaving 3 ml of milk in the bag because you don't want to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinwoodsman Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 ... eat it! ... buy more on grocery day ffs, no need to be politically (or any other cause) correct here ... father, son holy ghost; who eats the fastest gets the most. I used to buy them so I got in on the deal before they were gone! cookies good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 don't eat it - but put it in a small container for the other person to have and throw out the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Eat it. I've considered problems like this before. The way I see it: If now is a 'bad' time to eat it, then one must assume there will be a 'better' time to eat the cookie or it will be more satisfying later. False, completely false.

1 of the 7 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm not afraid to eat the last cookie (especially if I haven't had one yet), though if there are others around, I make a "courtesy offer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd keep the cookie in there but put in 11 other kinds of cookies in the package along with it just to see what she'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd take the last cookie, but only if I could share it by breaking it in half and giving that half to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaldad Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Go to the store and buy more, then eat the last one. She then has a fresh package to open and All the cookies to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Do what I do - when I get down to a couple - I ask if anyone wants one. Usually I ask really softly so nobody hears, and then I eat the last couple cookies. That way - I can say "well, I asked!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 It depends on how many are left. If there are two or more left, eat all but one -- leave the last cookie for someone else. If there is only one left, that means another person has already left the last cookie for someone else -- and that someone else is YOU. Eat it!!! Then do as metaldad suggests, and go out and buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd probably leave one to be polite. unless they are oatmeal raisin - then I would just throw it in the compost pile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvgeddy05 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Take - as I will assume my loving husband LEFT the last one for me. If I don't find a last cookie, this obviously was not the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well this is an odd issue that I am not familiar with. My wife has this uncanny ability where she always has a hidden stash of whatever we use. It could be deodorant, shampoo, cookies, cereal even ice cream for gods sake. If I use the last of it and mention it to her she goes to one of her magical storage places and produces a new package of whatever it was that was needed. It really is quite impressive to see. So from my own experience my advice to you would be to get a more efficient wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
