Cookies will go bad if they sit on the counter for too long!

How could I resist that?!

Beat me to it. My cookies never go bad. I eat them too fast.

Just don't eat them so fast that you end up "tossing" them!

Mold! Leave'em out on the counter and they go bad - Oreo's are notorious for this!

You guys are too much....
I second the motion that cookies dont go bad if eaten after creation/purchase.

Microsoft's party line on cookies is at this URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;283185

A reason they could go bad is spyware trying to read your cookie cache and determine your surfing habits, a rival site poorly engineers thier cookie program and tries to write to someone else's cookie on your system, and breaks it. Browser/system crash while at a site that is cookie enabled, etc.

THe link above tells you how to get jiggy with them so have at it.
