Wow check it out. Obama has kept one of his campaign promises already, by proving to be good for American business.. or at least.. a good celebrity spokesman for … a cookie factory??
Well almost..
A cookie endorsed by US President-elect Barack Obama has seen an increase in sales since the politician/movie star/president elect and his family revealed their love of the chocolate chunk cookies sold at Baby Boomers Cafe in Des Moines, Iowa..
Two months ago, the store was selling 400 of the cookies in a good week, but more than one thousand a week are being snapped up, according to cafe co-owner Rodney Maxfield, who, knowing a good thing when he sees it, has according to the supply and demand, jacked up the price of the sweet treat, raising it about fifty percent, so that you can afford a few less.. Capitalism works…:)
He added that orders have come in from as far away as Mexico.
