Here’s a funny idea with a high potential to go wrong: bake a batch of cookies in the shape of iPhones, drive around pretending to talk on them, and then when you inevitably get pulled over, take a bite, look the law enforcement official straight in the eye, and say, “Are cookies against the law, officer?”
This bold (although possibly ill-advised) plan was the recent brainchild of Los Angeles comedian Randy Liedtke. Thanks to Twitter, followers were able to see how the dicey scenario played out in more-or-less real time. Here’s what happened:
I’m honestly gonna drive around wih my iPhone Cookie today and see what happens!

Whoa! Almost ran a red light tweeting that last one. Gonna put my real phone down and focus on the cookie phone. Wish me luck

Took a bite out of the cookie. He was so confused and angry. Told me to hold tight, he is back in his car now.

The last image, taken a number of hours later, shows Liedtke holding what looks to be a lengthy writ of some sort. Ominously, this is the last thing he has tweeted since.
Wasn’t worth it. I’m an idiot… No more iPhone Cookies pic.twitter.com/MbQZq0UA9O

And that, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is why iPhone cookies are better in theory than in practice.
