Cookie Monster is a popular Muppet character on the chilren's television show Sesame Street. He is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases: "Me want cookie!", "Me eat cookie!", and "Omm nom nom nom" (said through a mouthful of food). He often eats anything and everything, including danishes, donuts, lettuce, apples, bananas, and inedible objects such as salt and pepper shakers, napkins, telephones, motorcycles, trucks, a safe and the four letters in the word "food". Once, he even attempted to eat Guy Smiley and the petals and leaves off of Bert's flower costume in a Sesame Street Little Theater pageant. As evidenced by his name, however, his favorite food is cookies. Chocolate chip cookies are his favorite kind; oatmeal cookies are his second favorite. In a song in 2004, Cookie Monster revealed that, before he ate his first cookie, he believes his name was Sid.
