Sweet! Japanese iPhone Cookies Selling Like Hotcakes!

Sweet! Japanese iPhone Cookies Selling Like Hotcakes!

Japan’s Green Gables bakery has been selling life-size iPhone cookies for two years. But recently, photos have appeared on Twitter and elsewhere, sparking huge demand.

Originally, the small, local bakery made the cookie as a special birthday present for a customer’s husband. But thanks to social media, the $33 cookie is being ordered by hundreds of people around Japan (it’s unavailable outside the country, so you’ve got to know someone). The current waiting time for an iPhone cookie: Two months!
