They’re not Obama’s daughters, they’re a type of cookie that will brighten up your day and make those long workdays easier to bear.
Obamitas cookies, the latest anti-depressant
A few days ago we talked about Carlota's cookies and today we’ve discovered the wonderful world of Obamitas. Could it be that designer cookies with a message are a new trend? We love the idea, because we like cookies that are different, original, and unconventional.
That’s what Obamitas are like. They’re chocolate cookies that bear an uncanny resemblance to the president of the United States. But, why do these plain-old cookies have such a cool name, such impecable packaging and such an elaborate web site? They’re just cookies! Actually, they were created by the graphic designers at the del Neos Brand studio, who have been quick to take advantage of Obama-mania.
These cookies are very "cool" but they’re also tasty because they’re homemade. They’re made fresh each day with chocolate, eggs, walnuts, sugar, butter, flour and also a little bit of hope and a whole lot of care. That’s how these treats that reproduce the face of one of the most charismatic men in our times come out of the oven. Who doesn’t love Obama?
On the Obamitas web site you can buy two different sized boxes of cookies; the small one costs 8.90 Euros and the large one 12.90. Why are they so expensive considering the crisis we’re in? Well, in fact, Obamitas are more than just cookies you can gorge on for breakfast. They symbolize the optimism of this new Obama era and they transmit the good cheer we need to make the long, hard workdays more tolerable in these times of crisis.
Their aim is to lift spirits and amuse. Impossible? You’ll have to decide once you’ve tasted them.
