Look y'all, I ain't gonna lie, I really like Subway's cookies, especially when they're fresh baked. And yeah, I may be boring, but my favorite cookie of all time is - as the author so dismissively states - "just chocolate chip."
So for me, I read all of this, I laugh at all of the hyperbole, but this is the part that sticks with me:
They have my $5
Wait, that's only 5 bucks? Given how much Subway's cookies cost, 5 bucks for a whole frickin' foot of chocolate chip cookie? Count me IN!
I know the author meant this as a slam piece. It had the opposite effect on me. Hell yeah.
That's so funny, I read the piece in a completely different tone. I thought it took some jabs at the fact that you'd be buying a foot long cookie, but by and large they seemed to be there for it....

It’s big and dumb. But at the end of the day, chocolate chip cookies taste good, especially when they’re still warm from the oven. So if you get this thing fresh, take some chunks and dip it in milk, you’re gonna have an awesome time.
I'm a pretty big fan of a lot of the "trash foods". Little Caesar's pizza might actually be my favorite pizza chain! And that is a hell of a deal for a cookie that big, I think I'd just be sure to have some friends with me to share it with!
I honestly don’t know why people hate on Little Caesar’s. Are there a bunch of really bad locations or something? Every time I got their pizza it was really good.

Little Casear's is definitely the worst of the big three/four pizza chains. But it's cheap and, honestly, not bad at all. I don't know if they still have it, but those $5 (or whatever it was,...
Little Casear's is definitely the worst of the big three/four pizza chains. But it's cheap and, honestly, not bad at all. I don't know if they still have it, but those $5 (or whatever it was, definitely <$10) ready made pizzas are/were a great value. I ain't eating a whole pizza for a single meal, so to have lunch+dinner+snack for that little is hard to beat. Again, not saying it was great pizza, but it's really, really hard to have bad pizza. And I don't think Little Caesar's has bad pizza.
Little Caesars might be the worst pizza I've ever had. Not sure if it's just the locations near me or what, but it's even worse than the cheapest store-brand frozen pizza. It's been a while since...

It's been a while since I've tried one (twas some event where someone brought it), but I distinctly remember the cheese and sauce being terrible.

I had it for the first time when I was over 30 and didn't care for it.
I think it's probably like McDonald's, if you grow up with it you love it. Pros and cons of growing up in the sticks - the only fast food I had access to were Dairy Queen (closed for the winter), Hardee's, and a Subway.

Spouse and I split one of those Costco cookies recently. Like a good food snob, I mostly regretted it - the chocolate wasn't even the quality of Nestlé's Tollhouse chips, and the dough was barely butter-flavored. If I'm going to eat empty calories, I want them to be excellent-tasting. The Subway ones just sound disgusting.
I'm so glad that I was never crazy for cookies. I'd never buy one of those simply because there were too many cookies. Hearing this, I now know I didn't just dodge a bullet, I dodged a bomb. That...
I'm so glad that I was never crazy for cookies. I'd never buy one of those simply because there were too many cookies. Hearing this, I now know I didn't just dodge a bullet, I dodged a bomb.
That being said, they did kill me with muffins and croissants, so who am I to judge anyone for buying those cookies?
Costco bakery items are generally pretty good tbh! Their chocolate chip cookies are perfect in terms of chocolate chunks, but yeah definitely way too much. Now I know how I gained so much weight...

Well, it's Costco. Nothing about Costco is small ;). Though they have a very good bakery which kinda pisses me off cause I don't have any occasions I can justify buying that much bakery goods.

My favorite line:
The best and worst thing about the cookie is that it gets warmed up in the oven right before it’s served. That means you get a warm, gooey cookie to enjoy. But once the warmth fades, the illusion shatters and it becomes apparent that this is essentially the “Weekend at Bernie’s” of desserts.
I don't know why that very common phrase caught me off guard. I had this mental image of police breaking into a house to arrest someone for using their microwave.

That and the comparison to a wet dog that doesn't want to be picked up were brilliant. I already don't go to Subway because I think their sandwiches are trash, but this review is nice confirmation...

Although I do remember their normal cookies being quite good back in the day.

Oh man. I clicked because of how bad my Subway churro experience was a month or so back. It’s been a while since I’ve had a cookie from them, but the chemical-y aftertaste of that churro was so bad I couldn’t finish it- and I’m no trash-food snob by any stretch. Former Coke Zero-drinking, all-pizzas-are good believing, Taco Bell eating, pop tart fan and general sugar slut that I am… this mighta been the first time I fully noped out on a fast food sweet. What I’m saying is it was bad. Maybe I just had a bum one, but never again.

I find the idea of a regularly scheduled "I ate ____ so you dont have to" to be a bit of an offputting concept. If I know that the writer is just going out into the world specifically looking for things to shit on for a paycheck its gonna make me instantly question if the food in question is actually bad or not.
But the idea of a big floppy footlong cookie sounds incredible. I could roll it up into a big chocolate chip cookie roll and cut cookie pinwheels out of it.

Fun slightly side note, did you know the new (old) Costco cookies are 750 calories each?? They're delicious but jesus christ that's hefty.
Yeah, that's about the same as a Crumbl cookie. It's amazing how small that many calories can be
I forgot about Crumbl, yeah it's crazy! I'll still eat one when I feel like it but I always feel terrible afterwards lol.
Cookies are about half butter+sugar by weight.

Yeah, but those are actually pretty good. But we did cut it into 4ths.

Sooo... warm it up again. There's no law against putting a pastry or cookie or cake in the microwave for ten to fifteen seconds.

1440 calories is absolutely disgusting.
