Somebody explain this to me 😅
Some people don’t like raisins on their cookies, so by sprinkling raisins on himself, the gingerbread man made himself inedible / safe.
But that arises even more questions like, why does he so angrily want to eat a years old stale gingerbread? And about the raisins, he can simply remove them.
He only wants to eat it for the satisfaction after enduring years of ‘can’t catch me’.
As for the raisins, even the slightest essence ruins the cookie.
The gingerbread man uses a modified bacta tank to keep himself moist and scrumptious. As a side effect, he’s also super absorbent.
People who hate raisin cookies REALLY hate raisin cookies. I don’t get the hate myself— raisins are fine. Is it a texture thing?
Incidentally, I think there’s a good chance the story came about because of the way cookies puff up in the oven, sometimes looking a little like breathing. I can see that easily turning into “don’t open the oven too early or it’ll jump up and run away…”
Raisins are not fine
Texture and flavor thing. I like its cousin the craisin on things like salads and trail mix but I’d still prefer my cookies to not have either of them.
