I would give them away to all those who are not involved in the medical insurance industry. Those people will have to pay to have me answer the phone to make an appointment, then they would have to pay to enter the door to the building where I am passing them out, and THEN they will need to pay me for the cookie. I would then donate the proceeds to all the folks who had to eat my free cookies because they could not afford the insurance to have their 'ills' resolved by a doctor.
by JustCurious on April 10th, 2008
I'd give them away and give out the recipe so everyone could make them themselves if they want to.
by Anonymous on April 10th, 2008
I would give them away to all the people I could and I'd give them extras as well, to give away to other people in need :)
by Jade on April 10th, 2008
I would give them away...except to the ones who with hold treatment because of a person's inability to pay the inflated prices for treatment. (drug companies, insurance companies, etc.)
by Keysha on April 10th, 2008
I would give them to family and friends, then eat one myself. All ills include monetary, so I would no longer be in debt or need money. Then I would start handing them out to others, starting with abused children. I'd also feed them to abused animals. Anyone that was greedy and demanding their cookie ahead of others would have to pay a hefty fine. And I'd NEVER sell the recipe.

Give them away and suggest that those who have eaten them donate a contribution of either money or their time towards the charity that supports their particular illness.
by Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT on April 10th, 2008
Give them away. Selling them would create a worse ill than can be imagined.
by BigDaddyBS on April 10th, 2008
Give them away, and hope people would donate to the cause!
by I luv Gaara and his mustashe XD on July 13th, 2008
Give to the poor and sell to the rich :) I gotta make some money you know!
by I NEED PIE! on June 7th, 2008
i would secretly give them to people who needed them and didnt come nagging for my help.
by Lady Alathia of Vulcan on July 27th, 2008
You wouldn't have a chance to do either. The FTC and the FDA would find out you were claiming something OTHER than a drug cured a disease, and that's illegal. They would confiscate all your cookies, your baking products, and any correspondence between you and anyone referencing cookies and destroy the lot of it, and if you were lucky enough to not "disappear", you would be placed under an order of silence to not discuss cookies, their ingredients, or ever bake, talk about baking, write about baking, or write about talking about baking ever again.
by Lil Confused on July 27th, 2008
I would sell the overpriced cookies in various flavors, along with a an overpriced latte, and a CD with various artist that love my cookies. Then I would donate 10% of the profit to the community( I won;t elaborate exactly how ...but it's going to a good cause which is the most important detail). Maybe if someone bought enough of the cookies, they could get a rewards card that would earn them one free cookie that they could have on the 5th full moon of the every leap year, at participating locations, restrictions would apply of course.
by Takei-Shihan on July 27th, 2008
I would want the whole world to get one ... but I would not want to go bankrupt or run out of money for ingredients, so I would sell them at a price that was proportional to each person's ability to pay ... the very rich would have to pay a huge sum, the very poor would have to pay a tiny amount (or donate some time & effort to help me make & distribute) ... after mass making & global distribution, I would take profits and put it towards solving our other non-illness problems.
by Chris on July 13th, 2008
Give it all away!
by Done. never again. on May 7th, 2008
Give them away to those in need.
by ilikebeerandtv on May 7th, 2008
both, if you could not afford to pay, but needed one, i would let it slide (you would just have to keep a secret, cause if you were rich then i would chrage alot) also i would share the money, and prices what be what each person could afford (even if it was 0)
by babyccat on May 7th, 2008
As much as I could sure use the money I would give them away. And I might just eat a few myself!!!!
by Chezter is going to save the Redheads on May 6th, 2008
Both, I would sell to a few high bidders and then with that money pay for the ingredients to bake more to give to those in need
by Yarnlady is happy every day on May 6th, 2008
It would depend entirely on the availability of the ingredients. If there was only a limited amount available, how would anybody decide who got the only two dozen that were ever and would ever be made?
by SASSYWI-Q-Sassia-Jetpacking with NASCAR on May 6th, 2008
The only answer for a gift like that is to give them free to all in need. (Which would be everyone)
by Beer Nuts on April 13th, 2008
As long as I could just keep making them, I would give them to anyone who was ill.
If there were only so many that I could make, then I would likely donate them to a children's hospital, or cancer treatment center.
by BOOZE HOUND... nothing is nonsence on April 13th, 2008
i'd sell them to the rich and give them to the poor
by misskitty3681 on April 10th, 2008
I would do better. I would find someone and make them do my biddings before I gave them the cookie. It would not be rich verses poor, but on how much you want my precious cookies.
by FaerieWhings on April 10th, 2008
Have a fund raiser but all the proceeds would go towards making these cookies and giving them to those in need for free.
by Sonja911 on April 10th, 2008
I would give them away. It seems so wrong to profit from something that would do the entire world good.
by Costantinus on April 10th, 2008
Sad but since it all revolves around money if the person needing them was worth a billion I'd ask half a billion per biscuit.
As per the poor people not being able to pay their bills I'd give them a sack for free so they could then try their luck at selling them.
But you can bet that if I could produce such biscuits I'd be murdered in no time.
by Wide Awake @ has closing date woo hoo on April 10th, 2008
Those in need. The highest bidders can usually get most of their ills cured anyway.
by kitten is smiling... on April 10th, 2008
Ahh Rosie you know I would just give them away~I would probably give the greedy,narrow minded,prejudiced,mean and contrary people two!
by Jack wears love COAT on April 10th, 2008
Give them away to all.If I have the ability to bake them, I can bake them at anytime and bid them.But I can't give them to the needy at all times.What if I go late?So I'll give them first.
by Blondiee81 on October 13th, 2008
I'd give them away!!!!!!
by artguy on September 9th, 2008
something that valuable HAS to be given away, but i'd ask for donations ;)
by Toobad for you. on August 24th, 2008
I would never leave my kitchen. I would sell copies of the recipe to medical companies, and use the profits to keep myself stocked on ingredients. If the red tape on that endeavor became too risky, I would rely solely on donations. A gift like that cannot afford to have a price put on it. I mean think about it - not only am I curing the world of illness... I'm flippin' GIVING AWAY COOKIES!
by Ramblin Ricky on August 15th, 2008
Neither, I would change my name to "The Oracle." and mess with Neo's mind.

by Indigo- in the library with the revolver on July 27th, 2008
I'd give them to the ones who most need them, especially if they cure emotional crap too.
by Piggle on July 27th, 2008
I think I would have to make different flavours for different types of ailment - those who were seriously ill and had suffered lots would be top of the list and given for free.
The price to cure minor ailments would depend on personal circumstance - if you can afford to pay I have to charge as I didn't find anywhere I could get the ingredients for free.
Now those of you wanting magical cosmetic surgery cookies (purely for aesthetic reasons)are going to pay through the nose (new or old) cause you really don't NEED my cookies you just want them.
All other ailments/procedures would be up for negotiation!
by knotcrafter@yahoo.com on July 27th, 2008
A gift like that is meant to be given freely, without any expectation of reward or compensation. It would mean so much to so many. How often do you get the chance to really do something for someone that would mean that much to them freely?
by 19kid was born in89 on July 27th, 2008
I would sell a few to rich people and then use the money to bake more and give them to the poor for free.
by Mr_Natural Abstractor of the Quintessence on July 27th, 2008
I used to bake magical brownies that made everybody feel better. Those were the days. So, what were you saying??
by Real on July 13th, 2008
Give to the people who really need it badly rich or poor they all are sick in differnt ways but still sick we are all human and need it just as everybody else...
by WoOZackWoO on July 13th, 2008
I would do nothing. Our entire medical industry would fail if I mass produced those D:
by Moogie on May 6th, 2008
The drug companies would ban together and have you killed and destroy the recipe
by gone on April 13th, 2008
id have like an interview process to see if they deserved it
by Simply99 -- Not a fan favorite. on April 13th, 2008
If it's my recipe, I did the research and work behind it, and manufactured the cookies, then I have every right to sell them on a free market. But this won't happen anytime soon, I'm really more of a candlestick maker and not a baker. The butcher has a store on the corner.
by King of Sexytown on April 13th, 2008
Give them to the highest bidder based on need. They would be free of course but whoever needs them the most would be first. Could people maybe split the cookies?? Maybe take a bite and pass it on??
by ImNotAnonymous-COAT of Maestro-ness on April 13th, 2008
I would sell them for a penny each, that way everybody could get one and I could still get rich.
by haggis on April 13th, 2008
i'd be making lots of cookies for everyone. giving them away to all those in need.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on April 13th, 2008
Sell them to the highest bidder. Then 6 months later, I would mass produce them using the profits from selling them and gives these away.
by Lobiloo on April 13th, 2008
if it was me i would sell the cookies to the people who had the worst illnesses with no cure
by Cannabis its just a plant on April 10th, 2008
I have that ability, well they don't cure everything but they are still 100% magical.
I have never sold any of them, I usually just hand them out to friends.
Most of the time though I make magical brownies.
by Penny The Wise on April 10th, 2008
Give them. There's no reason to sell it, only the people with money would have it then.

You're reading If you had the ability to bake magical cookies that would cure all the ills of those who ate them, would you sell the cookies to the higest bidder or would you give them away to all who were in need?

Wow..excellent answer, ChandaDiane..let me guess..all these people whom you would ask to pay are not among your favorite people! Thank you for your well-thought-out, very "right-on-the-money" answer. Happy Friday to you, m'dear! :) ((hugs))
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on April 11th, 2008
You are more than welcome. Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on April 11th, 2008
Thank you, you too! :)
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on April 11th, 2008
Wow!! I am astounded by the excellence of this answer. Even jealous that I didn't think of it first.
by King of Sexytown on April 13th, 2008
I'm pretty damn proud of it myself! Sometimes I can shock myself.
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on April 13th, 2008
Very impressive answer, I'd say you're right on the money.
