When asked by Wired whether he has a nose, Cookie Monster responded that "Me know that you no can see it, but me have nose. It way down deep in the fur." He also revealed that he has a rent-controlled apartment, so "me not going anywhere." ( YouTube) He is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases, such as Me want cookie!, Me eat cookie! (or simply COOKIE!), and Om nom nom nom (said through a mouth full of food).As you can see from these phrases, he doesn't speak English correctly. Why is that the case? The authors wanted to help children feel confident with the concept of the monster. Fear of monsters is common among young children and these characters help defuse that fear.

Cookie Monster is really amusing and it would be such a pity if you don't hear some of his quotes for the end of this article.

Cookie Monster appears on episode 518 of The Muppet Show, and there's a gag about how he and guest Marty Feldman both have googly eyes. Jon Stone, quoted from his unpublished memoir; Davis, Michael. Street Gang, 2008, pp.246-247, New York: Viking Press Stephanie Webber, " Cookie Monster Responds to Siri's Amazing Zero Divided By Zero Answer", Us Weekly, 1 July 2015.

In 1967, Henson used the "Wheel-Stealer" puppet for an IBM training film called Coffee Break Machine. In the sketch, called "The Computer Dinner", the monster (with frightening eyes and fangs) devours a complex coffee-making machine as it describes its different parts. When he is finished, the machine announces the monster has activated the machine's anti-vandalism system, which contains the most powerful explosives known to man. The monster promptly explodes. This sketch was also performed in October 1967 on The Ed Sullivan Show. It was also later performed on the George Burns episode of The Muppet Show' using the Luncheon Counter Monster.

In Sesame Street Magazine issue 144 (May 1985), CTW's associate research director Istar Schwager allayed the fears of some parents about Cookie Monster's bad habits: "Each of the characters on Sesame Street is designed to exaggerate a familiar human foible, and Cookie Monster is babyishness personified... When parents object to Cookie Monster's grammar, we remind them that children learn from a variety of sources -- including other Sesame Street characters who speak properly. Cookie's eating habits, too, are a point of concern for some parents. The inedible things that Cookie eats (a car fender!) make it clear to children that his behavior is out of the ordinary. Other characters, such as Captain Vegetable, of course, are vocal advocates of good eating habits." Sesame Street has earned the distinction of being one of the most highly regarded educators of young people.The original series has been televised in 120 countries, and more than 20 international versions have been produced.

Two years later, a similar-looking puppet (sans teeth) was used for three commercials selling Munchos, a Frito-Lay potato chip. This time, the monster was called Arnold. After the three ads were produced, Henson had the opportunity to renew the contract. He chose not to, because at that point he was working on Sesame Street -- and that monster puppet was moving on to the next stage in his career. Familiar to generations of Sesame Street watchers, Cookie Monster is remembered for his gluttony and his deep, rumbly distinctive voice. After you’ve done that, let the kids move around with this cute Cookie Monster bean bag toss. It’s a simple way to have the kids burn off some extra energy! This Sesame Street Matching game is a great activity for young kids to work on visual memory and matching!
