==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Created by AMELIA'S GRANDMA. Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}

The comic portrays the back side of a box of cookies (evidenced by the "nutritional facts"-style table on the left side). Most brands have on their packaging a romanticized origin story explaining the name or how they have a secret ingredient. Instead, this brand's origin story is a deliberate revenge on Amelia's part towards her grandmother, because Amelia never liked her grandmother's cookies for the reasons explained.

To complete her revenge, the "story" contains the grandmother's address. Creating false addresses for their mascots is often used as a publicity stunt for children to write testimonies to the brand's PR or marketing department. However, here it appears to be Amelia's actual Grandma's actual address, the goal being for her to receive thousands of letters on a regular basis about how her grandaughter's cookies are so great, while jabbing "unlike yours!"

The mouseover text suggests that the grandmother's address was not originally on the packaging, but rather appeared as their feud escalated. The implied chain of events is that after Amelia put out her brand, her Grandma called the health inspectors on her. Whether genuinely concerned the "gooey centers and slightly crisp exteriors" are being achieved through unsanitary means (such as not fully cooking that part) or simply a ploy to overburden Amelia's bakery with unnecessarily frequent inspections, it annoyed Amelia enough to put her Grandma's address on the packaging.

She additionally, now that it was clear how much Amelia hated her cookies, sent her an "extra-large batch", which would mean Amelia would be forced to eat them as punishment so they wouldn't go to waste.

:Our Story
:Growing up on my grandma's farm, I spent so many cozy mornings in the kitchen, watching her take trays of fresh-baked cookies from the oven.
:Her cookies were just ''awful''.
:She used the finest ingredients. Eggs straight from the coop, stone-ground flour, hand-churned butter. But she squandered them. It's so sad. She told me I was too picky, but I know what cookies are supposed to taste like.
:When I started a bakery, I vowed not to repeat her mistakes. These cookies won't fall apart in your hands. They have gooey centers, and slightly crisp exteriors, not the other way around, ''Grandma''. There's no mysterious gritty texture. Why would there be?
:If you enjoy these cookies, please write to my grandma to let her know.
:Thanks! Amelia
