                 How to Make Mrs. Fields' Cookies for FREE!


     A cookie connoisseur recently inquired about obtaining the  recipe 
     for Mrs.  Fields' Cookies, and was told by a sales clerk at a Mrs. 
     Fields' store that the recipe was available for $25.00.  The clerk 
     gave her a number to call to order the recipe.

     When  she  called the number,  she was told that  the  recipe  was 
     available to the public.  When asked how she wanted to pay for the 
     recipe,  she  indicated by credit card,  and gave her credit  card 
     number to the person taking the order.

     The recipe arrived, so did the credit card receipt indicating that 
     she  had paid $250.00 for this precious recipe.  After  contacting 
     her attorney,  she was told that the deal was legal and she had to 
     pay $250.00, and not $25.00.

     Her  revenge is to give this recipe to everyone she possibly  can. 
     Please  assist her in this endeavor by passing this file along  to 
     any system which does not yet have it posted.

     The  recipe  has  been tried,  and it is  difficult  to  tell  the 
     difference between cookies baked at home with this recipe and Mrs. 
     Fields' store-bought cookies.

     Judge for yourself.  This recipe is FREE...
