(See 10/14 update: Can Mother's Cookies make a comeback?) I mourned the loss of Mother's Circus Animal Cookies all weekend. I bought two bags at Fresh & Easy on Saturday and shared them with my family after learning that the cookie company's owner filed for bankruptcy protection last week. The company's financial failure forced it to suddenly shutter its baking and distribution operations on Friday, according to various news reports. Plant workers were told the "cookies would no longer be made" as of today, Oct. 13. The cookie maker's owner, Catterton Partners, cited rising food and fuel prices as the main reasons for filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The company also makes Archway cookies. Everyone has great childhood memories tied to these wonderfully crunchy white and pink-frosted cookies. I bought some for my daughter's birthday party earlier this year, and every kid — and adult — gobbled them up.  No more Circus cookies For me, the demise of Circus Cookies is tragic. This is like Oreo Cookies going down. I suppose the bags I bought over the weekend will be among the last. I've been told stores such as CVS have already been put on notice that they won't be getting anymore supplies starting this week. So, go out and buy a few bags before they disappear from store shelves. I know I plan to stockpile a few more. | |
