The “cookie” was originally invented out of necessity. Using just a portion of the cake batter, bakers used to test their oven temperatures to make sure the heat was precisely right. Eventually, the lightbulb went off. Let’s sell these “little cakes” too.
Would you believe me if I told you the very first cookie made and sold commercially in the United States was the Animal Cracker? Made by Nabisco, the Animal Cracker was launched in 1902. The original packaging depicted the crackers locked behind a cage. Fast-forward 116 years later and Nabisco reacted to disapproval from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and updated their box of Animal Crackers eliminating the cage in 2018. To be fair, PETA was formed in 1980.

Amazon to open fulfillment center at site of former Sears store, mayor says
Updated Feb 26, 2021;
Amazon is planning to open another fulfillment center in New Jersey, though this one will be in a somewhat unusual spot the site of a former Sears store.
The approximately 93,000-square-foot Monmouth County location at Seaview Square Shopping Center in Ocean Township is likely to open in October, Mayor Chris Siciliano said Thursday.
Customers will also be able to pick up packages at the center, which is expected to create about 150 to 200 full- and part-time jobs, the mayor said.
“We’re very excited,” Sicliano said. “It’s a win-win for us and for Amazon. It’s really an ideal spot and it will serve the needs of several communities.”
