One Fine Cookie

After having read this article in the NY Times, I chuckled at the thought of someone devouring a Metrocard-styled cookie. Why make something so beautiful (a cookie) resemble something so terribly inferior (the Metrocard design)? I felt inclined to pull out some of my favorite Dutch PTT Telecom phone cards that would, in my opinion, inspire some delectable treats. Chow down.

wow those are really cool. i know a couple of graphic designers that collect Dutch phone cards. which inspired me to collect Target & Starbucks gift cards. one of these days i'll post them here for all to enjoy.

i must admit i am mighty jealous of your dutch card collection. when last in amsterdam, my wife and i searched every flea market we could find to no avail. thanks for showing off your cache.

that has got to be the poorest attempt at reproducing a metrocard i have seen to date. a yellow square with an uneven brown bar and a cursive title nary a facsimile make.

for a better representational cookie, check out eleni's. gimme that hunky johnny depp any day. yum.

a cow saying "HooHooHo" on a cookie would be delightful.
