Cookie Monster Gets Deep With Food-Related Shower Thoughts
19 February 2015, 12:25 pm EST By Lauren Keating Tech Times

Sure, Cookie Monster is known for his addiction to cookies, but it turns out he appears to be quite a foodie. He is also very logical when it comes to providing excuses to eat one of our favorite fried sides.
 
“Hmm, onion rings are vegetable donuts,” he says. While we may have never looked at them this way before, we will definitely add onion rings to our list of veggies we are planning on eating today.

8 April 2015, University Wire, “Yik Yak shows desire for authentic community within U” by Alexandra Meier:
Putting this quote side-by-side with some of the yaks on the University feed probably elicits some eye rolls. Indubitably, “How many girls like being dominated in bed” opens a meaningful forum for community engagement and, “Onion rings are just vegetable donuts,” is a powerful expression of selfhood.

The origins of the onion ring are unknown. In the early 1930’s, a recipe for deep-fried onion rings appeared in a Crisco ad in the New York Times Magazine.
