Sounds like a “dog ate homework” excuse, but you may eat too many cookies – not because you’re a fundamentally bad person – but, because you’re addicted to them andmay want to enroll in Cookies Anonymous.
In some ground-breaking research to be present at a Society for Neuroscience conference next month, a Connecticut College study concluded that Oreos are just as addictive as drugs.

Chuck E. Cheese has been struggling of late.
Same store sales have been declining over the past couple of years.
