Me eat cookie! — Cookie Monster

Who doesn’t love cookies? From homemade to store bought, there are countless choices for us to enjoy with a tall glass of milk. 

But no one loves cookies more than the Muppet, Cookie Monster! Probably as recognizable as Kermit the Frog, Cookie Monster, or Sid as he is known by close personal friends, has been a beloved character on Sesame Street since the show first aired in 1969.

But who would have ever imagined Cookie Monster, with his thick blue fur, googly eyes and insatiable craving for cookies, as a worldwide icon! 

After a mineral collector, Mike Bowers, cracked open a geode-like rock called an agate, he discovered it looked just like Cookie Monster! Then, he posted about it on Facebook and it went viral. 

Turns out everyone loves Cookie Monster and cookies — even Mother Nature!
