Cookie Monster sets an unhealthy example, but kids love his reckless abandon. Why not make him crazy for a healthy food -- rename him Carrot Monster.

Captain Vegetable's Song http://members.trip...ny_Dancer/capt.html
It is I, Captain Vegetable
With my carrot, and my celery
Eating crunchy vegetables is good for me
And they're good for you, so eat them too. [calum, Jul 13 2005]

any USers old enough to remember BunnyRabbit on Captain Kangaroo?

I found Captain Kangaroo boring, but does anyone remember my uncle, Pip the Piper? I don't remember any carrots on his show, but they had a Mr. Flooglefish.

Kids will be unable to empathise with Carrot Monster and will hate him. You might as well ask the Count to recite the alphabet.

Honestly, I heard something in the news about this actually happening - they're talking about making Cookie less of a Cookie Monster and more of a Reasonable Healthy Snack Monster.

"Mmm! Rutabagas! NUMNUMGROWLGRBLRLB!...sorry."

That's just wrong.

Is that a [mfd] reason??

No, but the rutabaga is.

Cookie's a seasoned adult [link]. Maybe he's ready for adult things. Hell, he probably is, that would explain why he's blue all over...

Rename him Coochie Monster and turn him loose. NUMNUMGROWLGRBLRLB!! ...yeah, baby. NUMNUMGROWL!!

A whole 'nother oral fixation, perfectly healthy if you've been careful, and lots of fun between consenting adults. And no more messy crumbs!
