Mother's Cookies are Coming Back!

Last October, we learned that Mother's Cookies, the iconic west coast cookie maker who baked up those cute little pink and white frosted animal cookies, was going out of business. People who knew and loved their cookies were heart-broken, so many of us grew up eating those be-sprinkled cookies and couldn't imagine a world without them in it.

Happily, we no longer have to mourn the passing of those cheerful cookies, as the Kellogg Company announced on Wednesday that they will buying the Mother's brand and will be bringing back their most popular flavors, incorporating them into their snacks business unit. Oh happy day!

RIP Organic Rice Krispies

Organic Kellogg's Products

In 2006, Treehugger.com wrote about the introduction of a line of organic cereals by Kellogg's. The article talked about concerns surrounding "organic" being taken over by a mega-corporation, but decided that ultimately organic of any sort was a good thing.

At the same time, a Rice Krispies-loving consumer (me) discovered Organic Rice Krispies on the shelf at her local supermarket. To say I was excited might be an understatement. I love the Snap, Crackle, and Pop, but I do not love high fructose corn syrup and pesticides - neither of which were found in the organic version. Sure, it was more expensive and sure, they didn't make it in the large box that I preferred due to my frequent cereal consumption, but I was willing to splurge.

Alas, one day, Organic Rice Krispies was no longer on the shelves. I assumed it had to do with lack of consumer interest at my particular store. Today, after much time had passed, I decided to find out where I could buy them by emailling Kellogg's. I will credit them for their speedy response, but it did not make me happy: "This product is no longer marketed by our company, since consumer demand simply does not warrant its continued production. At this time, there are no plans to reintroduce this product."

I didn't specifically ask about any of the other cereals in their organic line, but I assume the worst. Does anyone else miss them?
