i read something that amazed me. you know that his counting fixation is obviously a play off his name? well that might only be half the reason. a very obscure bit of vampire lore is that they had an instinct to count things, just like the count, and one way to destract them is by throwing sand or grains infrount of them, and they will try to count every single one. this may be a coincidence, but i dout it.

Oh god it's so funny when Cookie Monster starts imitating the Count's laughing near the end!

The Count (Jew) likes nothing more than counting his money.

That's also a good thing for Cookie Hood too.

@afriendofbean: Or maybe, "Cookie Hood" could be a disguise for Cookie Monster, showing us that eating healthy is a good thing whilst protecting his cookie-loving image. XD

[afriendofbean]

I agree. People will get sad. However, I have another idea if they were going to use a monster looking like Cookie Monster that can be called "Health Food Monster." The monster that looks like Cookie Monster is named Cookie Hood where the only difference is that Cookie Hood has a mustache but Cookie Monster doesn't. Maybe they can use Cookie Hood (he wasn't a main character where he just appeared in one episode) and call him the Health Food Monster while Cookie Monster keeps his name.

@afriendofbean: Yes, but Ingrid was not a focal character. Even during the time of the "Around the Corner" segments in which Baby Natasha and her parents--Ingrid and Humphrey--were introduced, the parents weren't the star of the skits, Baby Natasha was. Plus, Cookie Monster has been around promoting healthy eating ever since the 70's and his name has remained, so why bother changing it after all these years when all that will do is get more people upset at the producers for changing things?

[afriendofbean]

Yes. The reason I thought they coulud rename Cookie Monster from Cookie Monster to Health Food Monster is because, the directors and producers have renamed some of the muppets/monsters on Sesame Street. For example, the monster who plays as Ingrid was named Frieda on one skit then her name was Juliette and now Ingrid. If they did this for Cookie Monster, on Muppet Wiki it can say "was Cookie Monster but now Health Food Monster to encourage healthy foods to kids around the world."

@afriendofbean: Yeah. Just like The Count is "called The Count, because 'he loves to count things'".
