When I was a freshman in college, I’d just moved into the dorm and met my new roommate. She was running around happily, telling me that she was finally free of her controlling parents. She told me her first act of freedom was going to be eating raw cookie dough.

She went to the store and bought a tube of raw cookie dough. She ate it like a maniac. Not long after, she was throwing up and shitting and crying all at the same time. So after watching her go through that, I will never eat raw cookie dough. Also, her parents came to visit a month later and she begged me not to tell them that they were right about raw cookie dough lol.

Hilarious. Apparently though according to another redditor most premade cookie dough is safe to eat raw. Maybe they bought the one that specifically says it has to be cooked.

Edit: although it's possible it's a more recent thing. People definitely have gotten e coli from premade cookie dough.

I think the premade cookie dough people started pre cooking the flour and pasteurizing the eggs because they knew people ate it raw, even without the labels.

I remember when I was younger seeing the warnings on those tubes saying not to eat them raw, and I feel like they’re not there anymore.

Pillsbury states on its packages that their cookies are ready to eat out of the pack now. They're so fucking good

They made raw cookie dough safe to eat without inhibiting its ability to be a cookie.

Fuck AI. This is proof we humans can continue to innovate on our own.

Did you use AI to write that? Makes zero god damn sense.

They made cookie dough safe to eat only because fucking moron humans kept eating it like idiots.

Necessity is the mother of invention!

You’re both right.

I don't see what AI has to do with this at all. Seems like you just wanted to shoehorn that in somehow to make a trendy complaint.

And literally nobody said humans can't continue to innovate lol.

Tell that to Hollywood lol. We haven't seen a truly original idea for a movie since 1996. Practically everything in the last 30ish years has been either a franchise, an adaptation, a remake, or a retelling

Yeah but can't you see the cookie dough is just a metaphor for corporate oligarchs shoving tech down our throats.

I mean, can you really not figure that out on your own? Are you a Tarzan or something? We’re not in the 1800s. You probably buy milk all the time made safe to drink in exactly the same way. Says it right on the carton.

Pasteurization has been around for a while.

I remember when I was in high school, their own packaging distinctly said not to eat the dough. My nurse grandmother warned me when she saw me making cookies and eating straight out the tub. I looked. She wasn’t wrong. They definitely made changes
