As Cocoa and Otis prepare for their big class election, the school is in an uproar. Their classmates have already picked which candidate they want to win the election. The school principal does not know what to do. None of the students will concentrate on their schoolwork or participate in any after school activities. The entire class has shut down until the results of the election.
Otis and Cocoa are preparing their big campaign speeches in the library.
“What are you going to say in your campaign speech Otis? I hope you are not going to talk about all of the nerdy cookie clubs you belong to and how you can use them to try and improve the school. That is so overdone and boring. Just like you. And you really think oatmeal raisin is new the chocolate chip! You need to stop thinking about glasses of skim milk and try to beat me in this election. All of your thinking is taking up too much space in your doughy mix,” Cocoa says with a nasty smirk across her chocolaty mouth.
“Don’t YOU worry about it Cocoa. I don’t think I have anything nice to say to you. Besides, my mom, Mrs. Shortening, always says if you don’t have anything thing brown sugary-sweet to say, then you shouldn’t say anything sour and extra salty either,” whines Otis in the most annoying voice possible.
This comment makes Cocoa very upset and now she feels more at war with Otis than before. She has to win the election, not only because she wants the position, but to spite Otis. Cocoa now has to think of a sure plan to win the election and make Otis look as over-baked as imaginable to their classmates.
“I’ve got it. I will join one of Otis’s cookie clubs and make good friends with his vegan friends, Alvin and Wally. This will surely make me win the election. If Alvin and Wally like me, then all of those vegan cookies will!” Cocoa says to herself in a devilish voice.
As Cocoa leaves the library, a new cookie rolls in and speaks to Otis. She does not know this new handsome cookie and is curious to see who he is, as she does not need anyone spoiling her brilliant plan. As Cocoa walks up to Otis to be introduced to this new good-looking cookie, they both abruptly leave. She is now puzzled and cannot figure out the relationship or interaction between the two.
“Who is this new cookie? Why is he here?” Cocoa whispers to herself. “Nevermind, I have my own work to do. Where are those doughy nerds, Alvin and Wally when you need them? I’m out of here.”
What’s going to happen between Otis and Cocoa and her plans to spoil the election? Who is the new cookie? Find out in the next chapter of As The Cookie Crumbles!
Thanks to Smooch and Tillie’s - Red Mango was represented at this year’s Fort Green Fest in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park. “A celebration of the cultures, cuisine, and artistic diversity of Brooklyn,” this year’s festival featured musical performances by Talib Kweli, Claudette Ortiz, Marco Polo and more, as well as screenings of “Yo Soy Boricua” by Rosie Perez and “Just For Kicks” by Thierry Daher. Local restaurants provided food, and we’re proud to say that before the afternoon was over, 182 slices of Red Mango cake (Red Velvet, Carrot, and Double Chocolate) had been consumed! Unfortunately, only the early birds got these sweet treats because it all sold out in a matter of hours!

Otis, the crispy oatmeal raisin cookie, rolls into the high school locker room smelling of fresh baked cookie cologne. He wears a purple raisin button polo and baggy jeans. As he sits down on the sticky maple covered bench he notices a flyer for the running of his class president. Otis thinks that he could possibly be the best candidate for class president: his raisins are plump and juicy, his oats are high in fiber, and his sides are golden brown. There is no reason why Otis would not win.
While Otis daydreams of his victory, another alluring fresh baked cookie perfume fills the air. Cocoa, the milk chocolate chip cookie, rolls in wearing a tight, wide fudge dress enhancing her chunky figure. She also notices the flyer.
“Well hello my dear sweet chocolaty classmate. How are you doing this fine afternoon?” mumbles Otis with a grimace and sweet smile.
“I am doing just fine Otis, and don’t you worry about any of my goodies,” Cocoa replies with a sugar-coated smile. “Anyway, I am going to run for class president so I hope you will vote for me, Otis. I will need as much support from the cookie scraps as possible.”
“What do you mean cookie scraps! Besides, I am going run and win. Everyone knows that oatmeal raisin cookies are the new chocolate chip. Where are YOU going to get the support to win, from your crumbly batch of friends? I have the support from my vegan oatmeal friends. They are filled with dried fruits and nuts. You leave Alvin, the vegan almond-raisin, and Wally, the vegan cranberry-walnut, out of this. They are my best friends and they support me in anything I do,” Otis tells Cocoa in the most threatening way possible trying not to call attention to the large cookie crumbles falling from his mouth.
“ Do not mess with me and my batch of friends, Otis. You know we are filled with rich morsels of chocolate and our hint of espresso will have you dying for more.” Cocoa says after taking a sip of vitamin D milk.
“Well, we will see who will win this election. Only time will tell,” Otis and Cocoa say as they both leave the locker room.
Stay tuned in to the next chapter of As The Cookie Crumbles to find out what happens between Otis and Cocoa and their big election!
