Oh, yes, this was a great discovery. Not all cookies taste good when dipped in fruit punch and the punch has to be the right kind, too. Store bought chocolate chip cookies work best and they have to be crunchy, not soft. The punch can't just be any old kind of fruit, either. It has to be a red fruit punch mixture, most likely a sugary type where you can only tell that it is fruity but not what fruit is in there. Also, since the punch is thinner than milk, you can't dunk it for as long or it will surely break off into the drink and that just won't do.

I discovered this when while going to church when I was little and all they had after the service was coffee, which was yucky at that age. Every once in a great while they would have cookies and punch and the kids would go nuts. For some reason (for a laugh?) I dipped my cookie in the punch and I liked it. Since then, I have always looked for unconventional mixing foods. French Fries in a strawberry shake are a favorite.

I do dip things in coffee and tea but not as often.
