- On the other hand, by increasing consumer willingness to purchase larger quantities of cookies, or increasing the price at which they are willing to purchase the same quantity of cookies, Cookie Monster's song could incentivize the food industry to devote more resources to cookie production, perhaps even making additional capital investments (e.g. in equipment or research and development), thus creating additional economies of scale, and, in the long run, enabling Cookie Monster to buy additional cookies on his limited budget. It would be fallacious to assume a fixed production capacity of cookies, in the absence of government quotas or other regulations associated with a command-and-control economic framework. In addition, there are the possibilities for endorsement deals with cookie companies, similar to Michael Jordan's Gatorade sales, which could inspire Cookie Monster to want to become the premier cookie pitchman.

- Indeed, I would compare the economic situation to that of soy milk. Although [[soybean]s are more efficient to raise than cattle, soy milk is more expensive that dairy, due to its status as a specialty item. If it went mainstream, it would probably be cheaper than dairy. Similarly, if the popularity of cookies rose, it would in fact lead to greater variety and competition about cookie producers, leading to increased effectiveness and efficiency of operations, culminating in an enhanced cookie industry playing a more central role in the global economy, increasing the prestige and importance of Cookie Monster as that economic segment's established avatar, thus satisfying his craving for sheer, raw power, similarly to the Inner Party members in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. Ah, once again, all arguments come full circle to the works of that brilliant twentieth-century satirist. Rad Racer | Talk | Contribs 17:57, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- I was going to chop that out myself, when I did the big, article-changing revision which seems to have brought you all here - yes, you're my puppets, my muppet-puppets, my puppy-muppets. The train of events went alter article -> click 'save page -> spot that there's a link to 'demagogue' at the bottom of the page, something which is clearly bang out of order -> contemplate removing it, but click on 'demagogue' to find out if by some miracle it is relevant -> read article on demagogy -> realise that it's hometime -> forget about BISCUIT MONSTER, and go home. So that is why the line persisted. I was too engrossed with the prospect of buying and preparing tea to care. They aren't cookies. They're biscuits. The entire reason I edited this page and the page on Cookie Monster himself is because somebody at work bought in a mixed assortment of sweets, and I was hoppin' and boppin' after having had some sweets earlier on in the day, and I'm still a bit hyper and it's a quarter past eight in the evening, hubba.-Ashley Pomeroy 19:21, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Other Things Starting with the Letter C
I deleted this list of things that start with C.
- Crabcakes
- Cucumber
- Cup
- Chocolate
- Cerveza
I don't think it adds to the page, and I see in the revision history that it's been added and deleted before. Unless someone can explain why such a section belongs in the article, it should not be re-added to the article. Podkayne 21:24, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

C for Cookie

A Cookie is sometimes food?
Could anyone please verify the claim made that PBS is making a new song about how "a cookie is a sometimes food?" it sounds like a hoax to me.Abyss42 00:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

- Looks like BetacommandBot done dropped it. Unfortunate since the fair use for album covers is pretty trivial -- we need a 'bot that cleans up after BcB in the album dept., methinks. In this case the image is gone and I've done the image cleanup.Ogre lawless 19:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

K is for Kompressor
Should there be mention of the Kompressor song, "K is for Kompressor" which is derived from this song?--Jeffro77 (talk) 14:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Deleted statement from opening
I have deleted the following statement that was marked as unsourced more than 3 years ago:
- The original version of the song is now hard to come by; the lyrics "C is for cookie, and cookie is for me" have been updated to "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me."
I have never heard any version of C is for Cookie that has that rather nonsensical lyric, and I've heard all the original recordings of it. It's possible a more recent politically correct version might have changed the lyrics, but again I haven't been able ot find anything to support that either. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 14:14, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
