Milk & cookies... how do you eat them?
If you grew up in my household, you likely had your fair share of cookies out of a package, because let's face it, your mom wasn't Paula Deen, she was a sweet Lebanese lady who bought enough packages of Chips Ahoy and Oreos to fill the minivan (oh, your mom wasn't Lebanese?).
Regardless, the years of pulling cookies out of plastic packages and dunking them into a variety of ill-fitting glasses led to a revolutionary finding. While I was pouring milk into a nearby cup during a Saturday morning marathon of Boy Meets World, some of my milk splashed into the cookie tray. My irritation quickly grew to euphoria, as I came to the realization... the tray was the milk cup.
Most cookie packages come segmented into catch-all compartments that just happen to make the perfect container for your milk.
- Finish your damn cookies, there's only an average of 24 per package. No big.
- You can use any pair of mediocrely-crafted scissors to cut the compartment you filled with milk away from the others

Thanks cookies . . . thanks for nothing, mom.
