So Who Is Cookie Puss

When I was a kid I used to watch a lot of television from Buffalo New York.  In Toronto we used to get a few american channels, but sadly we would often see commercials for products they simply didn't sell in Canada.  Carvel Ice Cream was one of those things that I saw over and over again, but I never actually tried until I was an adult.  I blame my parents for being so inconsiderate as to not drive and hour and a half over the border in order to get me a Fudgy the Whale Cake for my birthday.  The thing about Carvel is that for me it was a piece of folklore rather than anything tangible.  The characters represent something I could never have, or understand, rather than names for ice cream cakes.  That's why I found Mental Floss's article on the origins of Cookie Puss to be really interesting, but also a little sad.
