I think you can see where this is coming from.
Backpage, one of the most notorious online classified ads site, has seen its popularity surge over the past few years.
It has been featured on multiple popular websites like Forbes, CNN and Mashable, and has been mentioned on many television shows including The Daily Show and The View.
Backroom, which bills itself as a marketplace for people selling goods and services online, has since moved away from selling sex toys, though.
It’s now targeting more specific goods like cosmetics and home furnishings.
In an interview with ABC News, Backpage CEO Matt O’Brien said the company’s strategy for growth is about selling “baked good” and “chocolate.”
He added that his company’s ad sales team has a wide range of products and services to choose from.
“It’s about the products, but we have a wide variety of different products to offer and the products that we offer are tailored to each individual person, not just the average person,” he said.
“It’s not just one type of product.”
The backpage ad market is a booming one for O’Briens, who has been making the case for a return to the old-fashioned approach for years.
Back in 2012, the company launched a “bake goods” section on its site, which would allow users to customize products with custom instructions.
O’Reilly says the “breadcrumb” section was designed to help users avoid paying a hefty markup for products that would normally be labeled as “bakery” or “baking.”
In 2015, O’Hare also launched a bake goods section for people looking to make a purchase.
OBSERVERS SAY IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE COOKIES In his book, “The Big Bang Theory,” host Adam West joked that the new bakery section was meant to help “the people who really hate cookies.”
O’Leary has been quick to defend the idea of “bakers,” and the new “bakes” section may help to alleviate some of the anxiety around cookies.
In his book “The Great Cookie Race,” O’Connor wrote, “It has become a fact of life that many people hate cookies.
The reason they hate them is because they’re unhealthy, they’re gross, they make you sick.
They’re bad for your teeth.”
O’Brien told ABC News he’s not the only one who thinks the baking section on Backpage is an effective way to get rid of cookies.
On Twitter, “Baking Meets” comedian Tim Garrison tweeted that “the best way to destroy cookies is to make them out of chocolate and sugar.”
It’s a little hard to argue with that sentiment, but it’s also true that a lot of people love cookies and the idea that the baking industry could be transformed into something that sells more cakes and muffins sounds pretty appealing.
So, if you want to make sure you’re not spending $60 on a cookie, just take this advice from the creator of the new section: Don’t buy a new cookie.
