That's the way the cookie crumbles

Mrs_fieldsMrs. Fields Famous Brands (owner of those mall cookies as well as TCBY yogurt stores) has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Turns out the cookie giant has racked up $200 million in debt. I'm sure some of this is due to skyrocketing commodity food prices, but maybe also because people are making fewer high-cal impulse buys at the mall? Perhaps this signals impending doom for those other mall juggernauts, Auntie Anne's Pretzels or, shudder, Cinnabon (one bun? 740 calories and 24 fat grams. no lie.).
