About 15 years ago the producers of Sesame Street changed Cookie Monster’s behavior so that he also ate fruit and veggies and he starting calling cookies a “sometimes” food.
Old sketch from Sesame Street (might go back 30 years) had Ernie trying to convince Cookie Monster that a carrot is much more delicious than cookies. Of course, Ernie just wants CM to take the carrot and leave his cookies alone. CM appears to take the bait, gobbling up the carrot and proclaiming that Ernie was right: “It delicious!” Then comes the punchline: "And now, " says Cookie Monster, “cookies!” And of course he throws himself on Ernie’s plate of cookies.
My favorite line in that exchange comes after Ernie has told CM that carrots are more delicious than cookies.
“Carrot is more delicious than cookies??” (short pause) Then, incredulously: “You putting me on.”
