This Cookie is Old, Expensive

A cookie — one that isn’t even double-stuffed or ninja-shaped, mind you — recently sold at auction for £1,250 (about $1949). Originally made for explorer Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition in 1907-1909, the ‘cookie’ is actually a milk biscuit made by Huntley & Palmers. Something tells me that the snow would have tasted better.

My suggestion would be, to put an Oreo Triple Double in a safe place. If this auction is any indication, in 104 years that Oreo will be worth about 32-billion dollars.
