I have been recently looking over your company that makes two different types of cookies, sugar and chocolate chip cookies which are always in demand.

It would be fine if it was some that fell on the floor or a messy cook but that is not the case here. You may be want to cut down the amount of sugar you purchase so you don’t suffer a
