Patriotic Cookie?

Post by alchemist » Sat Sep 08, 2007 12:35 pm

You can't get MRE's in Australia, so I can't check for myself, but I was bemused to find in the offical menu listings for MRE's that some meals include a "shortbread cookie" while others include a "patriotic shortbread cookie"

I HAVE to know!

What does one do to a bircuit to make it patriotic?
Trustme, I'm a chemist...

Probably red white and blue frosting if I had to guess, that makes everything patriotic here in America. You can accidentally wear that combo and someone will say how patriotic you look.

Have it made in the U.S., sourced from U.S raw materials, by a worker that is legally documented to work in the U.S.? :lol:

I think such items may be a bit of a rarity these days. :cry:

I see those "Patriotic" shortbread cookies are part of menu 24 in the 2008 menus:

(yum, Chicken w/ Salsa, Fried Rice, and Patriotic cookies....wtf?...seems like an odd combination)

When I think of Patriotic cookies, I envision a shortbread cookie with red, white, and blue sprinkles on it. :-)

But check it out...I actually got some google hits on those cookies - no pictures, just nutuitional info:
