I know someone who tried that...and it worked okay for them because the taste was enough...however, I require something in my tummy to make me feel FULL or I'd be chewing and spitting all day. EEwwww...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Penguin.
However, that last part
may
still not necessarily be true, though.

I think the name for that diet where you chew the food
and don't keep it is called
bulimia.

Perhaps the cookies are recycled, BlackPearl ... somehow.
Meanwhile, I've never heard of those characters you mention. Were they contemporaries of Howdy Doody or something?

Well, I, personally, don't really need to go on a diet (I don't think), Ann ...
However, I chew plenty of gum, anyway (to resist the urge to smoke).

Mademoiselle,
I noticed years ago that Cookie Monster was just wasting those cookies. I couldn't understand it, such waste. I was appalled and dumbfounded at the same time, thinking how much I could have really appreciated all those cookies. Yet, he's still so loveable. Ever notice how polite he is? I guess that's why I so easily forgave him. Of course, I'm a sucker for most of the Sesame Street gang. Lately, though, I think Oscar the Grouch best describes me, and I wish I had a T-shirt with his picture on it. I'm also an old school fan of Roosevelt Franklin and Granny Fanny Neselrode, both before your time, and with much less air play back in the day. Anyway, another good post, here. :)

My best friend voiced the exact same concern, Aaron ...
Although, while such behavior might be frowned upon in the nicer restaurants; I'm sure it would be perfectly acceptable in, say, Bob's Big Boy.

Don't worry, Dave, I'm fairly certain he fits the bill (as it were):
big adj. Of considerable size, number, quantity, magnitude, or extent; large.
bird n. Any of various warm-blooded, egg-laying, feathered vertebrates of the class Aves, having forelimbs modified to form wings.

This has potential
let's call it the "Spit; don't swallow" diet. You are allowed to chew anything you like, but only swallow fruits, vegetables, and water. If the theory is right, you can try whatever you crave and still lose weight.
Take a delicious but lethal 1000 calorie or so dessert like molten chocolate cake. How many of those calories would you actually take in if you chew each bite for a few seconds and then spit it out? I'm sure some of it would get through, just like some alcohol gets absorbed through your tongue even before you swallow it, but wouldn't it be great if you could have one of those and only eat 150 calories?
One major downside: I don't think restaurants would take very kindly to having you spit out all their food in plain view of the other customers.

I never understood the plot to any Sesame Street.
And that stuff about the Cookie Monster is a revelation to me. It's a good job I don't know where the local crack-house is.

Go to bed with a bunch of cookies
and chew on them awhile. If the crumbs keep you awake, then you don't go back to sleep.
At least, I think that's how that would work...

Mademoiselle, Be like me. I literally just woke up and went to the John. I couldn't resist the computer on my way back to bed. Read Ariala's morning poem, was headed to bed, you popped up, and now I'm off to get some real sleep. And BTW, that is actually a real diet (not so much to lose weight but, to acquire needed nutrition without so much wear and tear on the digestive and elimination systems.) I think maybe some Yogis (not Berra) or somebody does that. Moon_Spirit
