What do you think the world would be like without cookies?!  We think it would be any combination of horrible, alarming, and downright depressing.  But, we want to know what YOU think.

Today we are raiding the subways of New York City and joining fans riding to the Yankees vs. Mets game for this in–season Subway Series.  If you are in the NYC area you can find us on the 7 Train to Citi Field hosting a cookie giveaway and kick starting our Social Media Contest.

Even if you are not in New York, no worries, you can still get in on the action!  Join our Social Media Contest by tweeting us @CookiePanache letting us know what you think the world would be like without cookies.  Use the tagline “Without cookies the world would be…”   The most creative tweet wins and scores 2 tickets to an upcoming Yankees or Mets game.  Don’t forget to hash tag your favorite MLB team (we’re Yankees fans at our office, but don’t worry – we won’t be biased in choosing our winner).

Example Tweet:

@CookiePanache Without cookies the world would be…crumb-y! #Yankees

If you don’t have a Twitter, you can still join the fun!  Get in on the contest by posting what you think the world would be like without cookies on our Facebook page (Like!) at facebook.com/cookiepanache.  (Please see below for Full Contest Rules.)

We love Baseball Season!
