Debunking the Hoax

If you still absolutely MUST forward that 10th-generation message from a friend, at least have the decency to trim the eight miles of headers showing everyone else who's received it over the last 6 months. It sure wouldn't hurt to get rid of all the ".." that begin each line either. Besides, if it has gone around that many times we've probably already seen it.

The Ultimate Irony.
Someone forwarded this list to me via email about a month ago. They left ALL the forward headers, and the little "..." & "<<" in the body of the message...
some people...

If the package has marked on it Proctor & Gamble & Co. Cincinnati,OH then yup.

I grew up just 25 miles northeast of Cinci...lots of satanic cults in and around the area. Seems to be a popular past-time for ignorant inbreds LOL

I gave some to relatives, friends and work colleagues, as the recipe makes enough mix for hundreds of cookies! I had boxes full of cookies, and they were wonderful! I recommend the recipe, hoax or not.

Damn! I have recieved and trashed that recipe so many times!!!

Speaking for ignorant inbreds everywhere, I take offence to that...

I recommend it, but if you don't have a really large mixing bowl, only make a quarter of the recipe. This will still give you about 30 cookies!

Here is the recipe:

2 cups butter
4 cups flour
2 tsp. soda
2 cups sugar
5 cups blended oatmeal**
24 oz. chocolate chips
2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated)
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2 tsp. vanilla

Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey Bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.

** measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

I may just be an ignorant idiot, but what is a Hershey Bar?

a Milk Chocolate bar made in Hershey, PA, by the Hershey Corp. It's actually very good, for a "Corp Chain" chocolate bar..

or, as we in TX say: Poor Man's Godiva's...

Hm, yes, we need the recipe translated to metric for the non-statesides...

There's 16 ounces to a pound, and 2.2 pounds to a kilo...mmmmm...lessee....that comes out to...35.2 ounces per kilo.

Please don't ask for metric translations of tsp and Tsp though...I haven't the slightest idea!
