Ooh, what about dark chocolate milanos? Can we include those?

I like PF shortbread; that isn't really the point. The point is that the store brands have a universality — of course you can always point to an exception (I'd never heard of Mint Brussels either before Keck added them), but hundreds, if not thousands, of you can comment, for good or ill, on red-bag Chips Ahoy. You know who else can comment on my mother's butterscotch-chip oatmeal cookies with the just-burnt-enough bottoms? Mr. S. Mr. S is an eloquent fellow, but overall, that isn't fun, plus which I don't want to be pitting people's moms/dads/family recipes against each other.

We understand what y'all are saying about the home/Italian bakery category — we really do. We had this discussion and couldn't really decide what to do, short of making a…whatever the other tourney is in college hoops that isn't the NCAA, parking all the homemades/rando Brooklyn-bakery cookie-platter shit you can't really buy at the store in that, and running two brackets. The issue there is that, as much as we love these snackets, this phase is already a significant pain in the dupa logistically.

So! If any of y'all wants to take a look at the brackets from last time, noodle around on that site a little bit, and give us some suggestions, we are happy to hear them. It may actually be easier, and more fulfilling (read: "fattening," hee), for everyone involved if we do more than one bracket this time, have some bye rounds, etc.
