We all love the Cookie Monster, but his last appearance was in 2008, or was it? Would you believe it if I said that he was spotted at MUNUM XXXIII? Saturday, January 18, 2020, the Cookie Monster was spotted in a committee at the MUNUM conference. This committee will stay un-named as the Cookie Monster will be at risk if the committee is revealed. In short, the Cookie Monster was spotted when an IPC member was looking for a good story. While in the committee room, the IPC member noticed something suspicious as a delegate was secretly covering their mouth, mid-committee. In order to inspect further, the IPC member moved closer. They soon realized that the delegate was reaching behind and below their chair to get one of their hands in a bag. The bag contained, you guessed it, cookies. Keep in mind, these cookies were not theirs. The Cookie Monster gained a new friend as the delegate soon returned to their place in their committee and gave the large bag of cookies to the Cookie Monster. Not only are these iconic sweet treats the favorite dessert of the Cookie Monster, but they are also perfectly baked with each unique ingredient that makes them the most-loved snack, just like all the unique delegates make MUNUM the most-loved conference of all time.
