Rest in power famous Amos.

First time I ever went to famous Amos as a shawty.
it was viewing black entrepreneurial magic.

My dad and mom adored famous amos and the cookies.

This. The original cookies were :ohlawd: , the ones they made after Mr. Amos sold the company were dry as hell.
Rest in peace to the legend.
They were just pecan sandies with fake chocolate chips.

Companies know what they're doing.

The find something that's a hit, sells get stale. They switch it up, they gain some new customers, lose some of the old. Then reintroduce the shyt like they went back to the og and sell to them again.

If you were an OG consumer you know what the real was. That's why Frito lay comes out with a new flavor every month. They customers off fear of missing out. Nothing lasts forever.
