Oatmeal Raisins
Names can say a lot about someone, vastly based on prior experience with that name. Another alluring feature of a name can be the semantics. Cookie, for example, is not a globally utilized term. England and Australia use the term biscuits, while Spaniards coined the word galletas to illustrate this tasty treat. Biscuit comes from the Latin word bis coctum, which means, “twice baked.” The Dutch had the most relatable word to the term Americans use, which is koekje, meaning “little cake.” The most popular Italian words for cookies are amaretti and biscott. The German terms for Christmas cookies are keks or Plzchen, Regardless of what you call them, they are just as easily devoured. In the metaphor of types of girls as types of cookies, Oatmeal Raisin is a type of cookie everyone has encountered whether casually or in pursuit of love. This cookie is the alma mater of grandmas everywhere. Very old-fashioned and usually always at the bottom of the jar when all other cookies have been chosen. This cookie is sweet-- sure, but not satisfying enough for it to be the only cookie to enjoy for the rest of your life. Oatmeal's typically have plain conversations, plain aspirations, plain routines of their day-to-day life, and plain intimacy. I don't solely mean physically; even their divulging of secrets and inner depths of their past is plain. There is absolutely no spark with these cookies and it's pretty much fair to say, they are not the greatest kissers. These girls are good for someone but just not enough to take on a second date or even commit to memory. To someone, somewhere, everyone has been an oatmeal. You just weren't what they were looking for or your morals/interests/passions didn't quite line up. Even the container for oats has a santa-esque grandpa on the cover. Good ole Quaker probably has solid, nutritional intentions but luring the wrong crowd. I certainly wouldn't want to admit that the man on the oatmeal box (or cylinder for us bakers) was my one and only. Although I would love to say the names of cookies was basic knowledge, here is the source I found that scrumptious information: https://whatscookingamerica.net/History/CookieHistory.htm
