Review: I am really getting tired of eating the same thing every work day out of my life, so when Caribou introduces another slightly different take on their staples, I jump at the chance to try it.

Unlike the other cookies I have reviewed from Caribou, their old-fashioned sugary oatmeal and raisin cookie doesn't have that lingering mint flavor underneath everything. What you see is what you get here. Sweet chewy oatmealy cookie and a few damp and rubbery raisins that burst under the pressure of your teeth, expelling their gooey innards like a pimple on your medicine cabinet mirror. This is a sweet and welcome lunch-time alternative to my automatic snack purchase.

Of course, with so little affordable choice around here, these oatmeal cookies will also probably become automatic consumerism.
