In January unknowns kidnapped that cookie and demanded that Bahlsen gives 52.000 packages of their cookies to children hospitals and kindergardens. Signed: “Cookie monster”. (International press, especially USA, wrote about it). Both sides made that deal – the golden cookie is back, the children are happy, Bahlsen had a good advertising (but the kidnapping was not faked) – and the police is still trying to find out who those 3 thieves were.

He was obviously born during the last few years of WW2, so he cannot fall back on those times.<br /><br />But - what the heck - if I was on my own, I would learn ballroom dancing and go on cruise ships to act as paid partner to all those rich widows.
