A friend of mine inquired about obtaining the recipe for Mrs. Fields' cookies and was told by a sales clerk at the store that the recipe was available for $25. The clerk gave her the number to call to order the recipe.

My friend called the number and 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 for this precious recipe. After contacting an attorney she was told that the deal was legal and she had to pay $250 and not $25.

Her revenge is giving this recipe to everyone she possible can. The recipe has been tried and it is difficult to tell the difference between home baked cookies and Mrs. Fields' store bought recipe. Judge for yourself, this recipe is free.
