How cruel. This is like the Danish butter cookie tin except that there is no sewing kit inside of it. All there is inside this package are empty dreams. I don't blame Chips A Hoy, of course. I blame the family who would do this. Throw the package away. You don't know who you're hurting with this kind of prank. People need their cookies when they want them.
I had a friend whose uncle would come stay with them. He would eat the leftovers but he would leave a tiny sliver of food in the tray that way he didn't have to do the dish. Everyone saw right through what he was doing, but he would always say, "I didn't want to eat it all. Watching my weight." He very obviously wasn't watching his weight.
