    The real marketing trick is making you believe it is a cookie, and not some mixture of weird chemicals and ingredients that can only be identified by a code.

        Every artificially created ingredient has a code, for instance here in Europe we have ingredients listed as E-numbers. These ingredients are often used to replace organical/natural ingredients. You will see that if you buy pasta sauce in the grocery store, they’ve probably added some E-numbers to make the color of the sauce more red. These ingredients are not necessary at all, these are either marketing instruments to make the food look more “tasty” or to replace a more expensive product with a replacement chemical. We don’t know the long-term effects of these artificially added ingredients yet, but what I do know is that I know more and more people with allergies related to these artificial ingredients.

          Oh, E-Numbers. Yeah, I know those. They don’t have to be artificial, though some are. Vitamin C is one, for instance. Just because something has a numerical system alongside the normal names (for internationalisation purposes) doesn’t immediately make it scary like many seem to think.

    It doesn’t look to bad to me. The shape is there, maybe there are few chocolate chips, but those bastards usually lay at the bottom.

      You’re right. After I had few, I checked the bottom and did see some choco chips.
