We thought the strangest answer to offering people free cookies on our Holiday Cookie Truck (powered by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas) was going to be "No." But New York City, you have a way of stumping us.
Here are just some of the responses we got to our pitch—"Free cookies! Warm! Right here! No catch!"—in one day of working the truck.
They ranged from skeptical:
What's the catch?
Is this a joke?
Free?
Wait is this real?
Why is it warm and free?
Why....?
Are they hash cookies or regular?
Free? What's wrong with them?
These people answered correctly: Yes.
To happy—or at least okay with the idea:
You'd be crazy to say no.
Oh, it's free cookies!
Okay.
You're forcing me, okay.
Cookies make me smile.
You people are doing God's work.
To strange:
Are they healthy cookies?
Are they gluten free?
[Points at belly]
Do you come with the cookie?
To simply incorrect:
Do you take credit cards?
I'm all set.
(Editors' note: You are never set on free cookies.)
