>There is this child TV series, running for some 20 years, where human and puppets are mixed (it's not about Kermit the frog, 'cause that's the Muppets). There is this one big (I think blue) (though friendly looking) monster with the huge mouth. The cookie monster. Add to this that cookies are things to eat, and the cookie monster always eating all of them around. For me personally, there isn't any occasion that I don't think of this cookie monster when something is the matter with cookies. Btw, at my young age Sesame Street wasn't around yet, but it's just a phenomenon. I'd say < s > it's all over the world.

Sesame Street was showing in New Brunswick, in the early seventies, and I was watching it. Yes, there was that cookie monster and now that you've mentioned it, I remember it. :)
