Hurricane Stock-Up: Sprinkles Cookie Crisp

Possibly the BEST CEREAL EVER MADE.  Well, not health-wise, or even happiness wise.
(I just ate half-a-box and I feel pretty depressed)
But if you were trying to calculate which was the best, like, most cracked-out, like
most sugar-y sugar cereal ever invented, I’d have said Cookie Crisp.
But now they have SPRINKLES COOKIE CRISP! 

I’ve dipped out on the Cookie Crisp mythology in recent years.  Back in the day, there was a Wizard named
Cookie Jarvis that magically made the Cookie Crisp.  Then Jarvis died in a magic battle with Lucky, the Leprechaun from Lucky Charms so they hired a duo – Officer Crumb, a cop, and the Cookie Crook –who was this little 1950’s style robber that wore a chef’s hat with cookies on it and a little Zorro mask.
At first the Cookie Crook would triumph against Crumb, but soon General Mills went soft and didn’t think it
was cool to show cops getting duped by cookie thieves.  So for most of his reign, much like the Trix rabbit,
the Cookie Crook never pulled off another caper.  But in the end of the Cookie Crook’s days, before he
went to prison for life, he had a dog named Chip, who took over for awhile.  Then they hired this
Wolf guy, who’s also called Chip, but who was originally called Howler.  It’s like the longest, most
confusing story in history of cereal.

INTERN DIARY: October 13th, 2012

THE STORY SO FAR:  Luca, my intern, is a skateboarder from Astoria, Queens.  He’s 17 years old and goes to Essex Street Academy in the LES. A little over a month ago, he busted his leg and has been sending me text updates to his diary for the shlog.  One side, William Safire.

Alavell.  Luca had to give him a dollar to take his picture.
