Pepperidge Farm says: Journey into the texture of a Geneva cookie. An enchangtingly textured collage of indulgent delight. This beautifully decorated cookie is accompanied by a smooth chocolate later with crunchy pecans. An adventure in texture.

Abi says: Did Pepperidge Farm trademark Geneva? How does Lake Geneva feel about that? And the actual Swiss city of Geneva? Does it just refer to cookies? Could I create a line of Geneva crackers and get away with it?

Geneva cookies are seemingly exotic, European, and chocolatey. In reality, they are a ghetto cookie. The actual cookie part is not nearly as delicious as the biscuit found in Pepperidge Farm Milanos and the pecans (which are not a European nut at all, but rather a member of the North American hickory family) are merely shabby, palate-grating studs. Sure, the dark chocolate is good, but that’s certainly not the bulk of this cookie.

I’d prefer Godiva’s version of the Petit Ecolier anytime.

*****

Pepperidge Farm says: A refresher course in the finer points of indulgence. Between the exquisite cookies of this classic Milano awaits a refreshing duet of cool mint creme and rich, dark chocolate. Very cool indeed.

We say: We have four reasons for why a person might dislike this cookie. The first reason is that you might be allergic to mint. The second is that you are from a cookie deficient culture. Third, you abhor sentence fragments and have thusly abandoned all Pepperidge Farm products. And fourthly, you may be dismayed about the nipple-like protrusion from the biscuit portion of the cookie.

For those of you that could care less about whether or not your cookie has mammary resemblances, we’d like to recommend the Pepperidge Farm Mint Milano. The biscuit is crisp, the chocolate decadently dark, and the minty part neatly invigorating. Plus, the sandwich design means that you probably won’t get chocolate on your hands. Unfortunately, you are almost guaranteed to get little cookie crumbs everywhere. And boy do we mean everywhere.

Oh, you think you’d do a better job of eating this cookie? Come back and see us when you find crumbs in your cleavage.
