Cookie Chaos Theory: A Treatise on the Unpredictability of Crumbs

Also known as "The Great Crumbination," this phenomenon describes the tendency of cookies to disappear at an exponential rate when left unattended in a high-traffic area.

Key tenets:

• 1. The cookie conundrum: A cookie is placed on a surface, only to vanish without explanation or warning.
• 2. The Crumb Cascade: A single cookie's disappearance sets off a chain reaction, leading to the loss of multiple cookies in a short span of time.
• 3. The Biscuit Bootstrap Effect: A large batch of cookies, when left unchecked, will inevitably lead to a catastrophic cookie shortage.

Related concepts:

• Cookie Inflation Theory: The phenomenon of cookies being replaced by their more expensive, artisanal counterparts.
• Cookie Depreciation Syndrome: A condition where cookies become less desirable due to overexposure to cookie marketing.
