a great cookie, in an unexpected place.

March 7, 2006 10:05 AM

Last December I had a jumbo chocolate chip cookie on the Amtrak from St. Louis to Kansas City. Help me find the manufacturer.

It was one of the best packaged cookies I've ever had. This cookie was enormous. 4.5-5" diameter. The plastic wrapper was brightly colored, either red or blue. I think I remember a little smiley face. I also think the name of the manufacturer was a man's name. (Harry's, Bob's, George's)

This cookie saved me from the worst hangover of my life.

Otis Spunkmeyer? Oddly enough, I've had this same cookie you're talking about (though from Jefferson City to Kansas City) but I can't remember the brand.

Barry's Best? They serve them on my Amtrak.

If not there's always Famous Amos and Clydes...

Not Otis. I've never seen this brand before.

The Barry's Best logo looks familar, but I can't find evidence of a "jumbo cookie" on their site and their packaging looks much more "ma and pa" than the cookie in question.
