Mother's Cookies, Returning to West Coast Stores May 4
After filing for bankruptcy last year—but then being miraculously saved by Kellogg's!—Mother’s Cookies announces its return to West Coast shelves starting May 4. (Yes we're on the Mother's newsletter listserv.) Many favorites seem to be back, including Circus Animals, Iced Lemonade, Iced Oatmeal, and Taffy.

Oh! For some reason I thought those Nabisco Classics cookies I'd been seeing were the reincarnated Mother's. But clearly they were just trying to horn in on a market vacuum in the interim. Thanks for setting the record straight!

Mother's frosted animal crackers are like crack. I can't wait to have them again!

@mschlock: I got so excited when I saw those Nabisco wannabes. I luuuurve the pink and white circus animals. The Nabisco frosting was GROSS. I didn't even finish the cookie. I threw out the bag of cookies...and if you knew me, that's a big deal.

I almost fainted when I picked up the grocery ads today and saw Mother's cookies are back! I must have missed the story on Kellogg's buying them. Thank God! I couldn't believe such a great product wouldn't be snatched up by someone. Too bad I spent so much money grabbing my favorites in December when I thought all was lost, oh well, just glad they're available again. Can't wait to go shopping!

Don't bother!! I just bought and tried (5 minutes ago) my favorite Mothers
"Taffy Cookies" and my second favorite " Circus Animal Cookies", they aren't even CLOSE to the real Mothers Cookies. How sad, except that I hate Kelloggs, and now don't have to worry about buying Mothers from them. The cookies aren't terrible, just not as good as before!
