    I know now why I love you. You just named two of my faves.

    Also, I can't get past my passionate love affair with the classic:

    Fresh baked. Right out of the oven. Sweet Jesus, nothing is better. Conversely, nothing is more hideous than beautiful cookie batter being burnt at the hands of an uncivilized brute. It should be a crime.

    PS: Panera makes a goddamned good chocolate chip cookie.

    Biscuits in the States are generally larger than cookies, more fluffy, and almost always savory:

    Cookies, what in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, are called biscuits (or sweet biscuits):

    So, where you live do you have chocolate chip cookies, oat meal cookies and/or peanut butter cookies. Cause when I lived in Spain, I made them (and brownies) and was suddenly the most popular guy in town. Literally. I know that, to this day, my host mother still makes them and sells them at her shop. I can't believe people had never made them or tasted them before. Yep, I did my country proud: I exported American obeisity to an otherwise health conscious island.

    UK at least.

    We do, but they're packaged and sold as that - i.e. it's a "trade name" or sub-category: bourbon, chocolate digestive, garibaldi, choc chip. They still get put in the biscuit tin.

    I've been to the UK, and I distinctly remember the Brits knowing what a cookie was (despite their near refusal to use the word in a sentense; slight snickers, maybe a squinted stare at me and my American jargon). Moreover, for better or worse, much horrific American slang is catching on there. Also: there was an "Original Cookie Co." in Heathrow Airport and I distinctly remember thinking, "Hmmm. It wouldn't have the same ring if it was called, 'The Original Biscuit Co.'"

    Oh we know what they are - and still generically term them biscuits.

    Yup, TV, Hollywood, WWII

    D).

    Chances are it was an American-led franchise (or alternatively, named on the theory that "If it sounds American it's bound to catch on").

    Oh, don't worry, we have this odd cultural belief that an English accent adds 20 points to your IQ. So when someone is really smart on TV, often times, they'll have an English accent to highlight just how smart and cultured they are.

    That's ridiculous.
    I'm positive it's at least 40.

    Is that the reason?
    I watched Hancock the other night and had severe trouble trying to work out why the TV reporter sounded "pseudo-English".
    Question answered.

    Edit: we also make good "bad guys" as well for Hollywood.
