Two months back while I writing 55,000 words in a month as a challenge, I was looking for inspiration and a heard a episode of Reply All. I went on to write a small article about becoming a national cookie advisor. In a semi half serious way I started messaging big companies and seeing if they would interested in hiring or making me an advisor. My favorite response back was from Chips Ahoy!
After the jump check out the path to become a Cookie Advisor.
As I walked into the room my wife was listening to this American's Life. To make this simple, it was about the girl guides in World War II and Cookie Monster. Great episode. If you don't listen to This American Life, do yourself a favor and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes. The episode is called #559: Captain's Log. Anyways as I was sitting there listening to all the real jobs and committees that exist in this world. And so I have decided I will become a National or Regional Cookie Advisor. But before I can ascend to the office I had to learn a few facts about cookies I have never considered in my life. Join me to become a cookie connoisseur.
How to Measure Freshness of Cookies
Nutritional Facts on the back of every manufactured food has to have nutritional information to each package for a standard from the FDA. Baked Goods however, need a calculation to determine the freshness of the baked good by the sum of the ingredients and other factors. Measuring the nutritional facts in baked goods requires simple math and the essential need to consume cookies.
Phase 1
Step 1: Open bag or tray to examine the cookie. Inspect for damage or excess amount of crumbs in the package.
Step 2: Place face in close proximity of cookie, approximately 3-4 inches away to ingest scent of the baked good.
Step 3: Slowly but intentionally use the olfactory sense found from the cranial nerves to breathe in the delicious scent of the material. With slowed and controlled diaphragmatic breathing, breathes deep to fully experience the aromas. Repeat 3-5 times. If the scent is pleasant move onto step 4.
Step 4: Please cookie in the mechanical digestion area most commonly called the mouth. Make sure all or a majority of the salivary glands are operational. Consume and eat as many available cookies in site.
Step 5: After waking up from your cookie coma, assess the environment and inquiry where you can find more fresh baked goods.
These steps can also be used to inspect and devour pastries including donuts and croissants.
