National Cookie Monster Day
Today we say Happy birthday, Cookie Monster! November 2nd is no less a day than the birthday of the cuddly Cookie Monster. His blue, fuzzy fur, the round eyes, and of course his call for Cooooookies have made the Cookie Monster famous all over the world.
So we celebrate his birthday today not only in Germany but in many different countries. The cookie monster enchants everyone around the globe.
Facts and information for real crumb fans
We all know the lovable crumb monster from Sesame Street. It was invented by Muppet creator Jim Henson. The figure was originally intended to appear in commercials and sketches. In 1969, the Cookie Monster celebrated its first appearance on Sesame Street. It was first played by Frank Oz and from 2001 by David Rudman. The doll is made of artificial fur, foam, and plastic.
Until today we assumed that Krümelmonster is the highly official name of the blue cookie fan. But in fact, his first name is Sid. We are surprised too!
Since the Cookie Monster was invented in the USA, it is actually called Cookie Monster. Because of course cookies are his absolute favorite food. In Germany, on the other hand, it was decided to adopt the name to the crumbling of the cookie. Anyone who has ever seen the Cookie Monster eat cookies knows those table manners are not exactly its strong point. But what the heck, we love the Cookie Monster just the way it is.
So you could celebrate the Cookie Monster Day
If you want to spend today in the spirit of the Cookie Monster, we have some great ideas for you. An absolute must is of course baking cooooookies! There is nothing the Cookie Monster loves more than delicious cookies. His favorite cookies are chocolate drop cookies. They are really delicious and should not be missing from Krümelmonsterchen's tribute. They have to be delicious and above all, they have to be available in large quantities!
It is certainly a good thing to watch Sesame Street. Even if the Cookie Monster is not the main character here, the series brings back childhood memories. Unforgotten are of course the numerous songs in which the Cookie Monster plays a role. Our favorites are: Had I expected you today (sung by Ernie), Cookies and Oh, my cookie is crumbled.
If you can't get enough of the Cookie Monster, today is the best opportunity to disguise yourself as the Cookie Monster. How could one honor it more than in a Cookie Monster costume armed with delicious cookies? Have a look around the costume stores near you, maybe you can get one there. If you don't want to stand out that much, you can also get some merchandise from the Cookie Monster. From sweaters to pajamas to jackets - the Cookie Monster has already made it onto the catwalks of the world.
