In this very special and important blog post I would like to discuss something near and dear to my heart. It involves something that I am very passionate about and feel very strongly about
You have probably heard the phrase "Two wrongs don't make a right" and up until this moment you have probably not fully understood this phrase, but that is what I want to talk about. "Two wrongs don't make a right" means that if you have one thing that is "wrong" or "bad" you cannot combine it with another thing that is also "wrong" or "bad" and have it turn out good. So this brings me to the specific item that I would like to present....
Oatmeal raisin cookies!!
Have you ever grabbed a delicious looking chocolate chip cookie and took a bite of it only to realize that it's an oatmeal raisin cookie, and then got in trouble for spitting it out all over your third cousins new Persian rug that she just purchased from Ikea?
First of all you have the first and primary bad tasting ingredient, Oatmeal, I know in your head you're saying "oatmeal is good, what are you talking about". But is oatmeal really good? Think about what must be done to oatmeal to make it suitable for consumption. In order for oatmeal to taste good you must first add a great amount of sugar, and/or fruit and any other number of ingredients to help improve its natural taste. If you don't believe me just eat some oatmeal made with just water and no sugar, you'll quickly change your mind.
Now that we've established the first "wrong" we can move on to the second "wrong"....Raisins! I don't need to go in to a lot of explaining as to why raisins don't taste good, they just don't, I mean what do you expect from a dried up grape. If you have a bowl of grapes that goes old you just throw them away, but if a company puts them in a box and sells them they must be good.
So you've got oatmeal, which by itself doesn't taste good, and you've got raisins which also don't taste good so why on earth would the two of these items taste good when combined? It's unfathomable!
So, in conclusion....oatmeal raisin cookies suck!
