scientists have discovered how and why a cookie crumbles... and
it has nothing to do with the packaging and how they are

We nerds should have had this researched years ago. Who leaves cookie research to scientists!? There are hundred page sites out there detailing the physical changes adverse environments cause on peeps and twinkies, and yet nothing done about the lowly cookie.

Sir, you and I differ greatly on our definition of "exciting".
Yeah, and I want to do a study to find out if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about. That could take awhile...Oh, and how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop! Whether toast always lands butter-side down, and the side study of what happens when you strap a piece of toast on the back of a cat and drop it (butter-side facing up as mounted on said feline).
Hmm, "A Study on the Yaw Effects of Hydrolized Bovine Mammary Gland Extract-Coated, Exothermically-Excited Wheat-Based Modules as Mounted on Domesticated Felines."
Yes, that should be good for a few hundred grand, at least!

I've found his research methodology seriously lacking.

But broken cookies have no calories. They all leaked out.

I've applied for a DARPA grant to investigate cookies as weapons of mass destruction. My uncle, the general, assures me I'll get at least $5 million from the administration. Subsequent proposals will cover the use of peanut butter breath as a biowarfare agent

And that's the way the cookie crumbles.
