Short
version of the story
behind the original cookie recipe....
Supposedly, someone asked
Neiman Marcus / Mrs. Fields "how much" for the recipe for their
chocolate chip cookies, and the answer was "two fifity." They thought
two dollars and fifty cents was a good deal for the cookie recipe so
charged it to their credit card.
When they received the
statement it read two hundred fifty dollars! When they tried to get a
refund for the mistake, Neiman Marcus / Mrs. Fields held their ground
and refused a refund.
So out of spite the buyer
decided to share the recipe with the world for free.....
