Has this ever happened to you? You're wandering around happily, without a care in the world. And then, out of nowhere, someone pops in and asks you if you want a cookie. Even if you answer yes or no, the person will continue to ask if you want one. When you have had enough and run to another street, a second person ambushes you and asks you to take a cookie. This goes on and on until you get off the streets.
Well, hopefully no one has encountered the above situation, but really, this happens to Mathies all the time. Whenever you surf the web, often a box will pop open and ask you if you want to accept a cookie from a web site. It asks you the same question repeatedly until you can't take any more and say, "I don't want no cookies!"
Maybe I'm the only one who has seen such occurrences when surfing on campus; maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know how to turn them off. If you do suffer from 'cookie attacks,' just press escape when a box of cookies shows up, even if it's from a site you trust and have faith in. If you are more persistent than they are, they will eventually stop.
As for the real cookies, the ones you can actually eat, I don't mind munching a couple once in a while, as long as they are not expired or from unknown sources.
