I guess this isn't horribly shocking, but the SF Weekly brings the world the news that Fat Cookies, the Dolores Park cookie dealers that slang their drug-free cookies like crack cocaine, was shut down by SFPD on Monday.  Why'd the police come down on them so quickly?  According to the Weekly, it was due to 'going viral' on the intertubes:

​Fat Cookies has become one of the most buzzed-about baking operations in San Francisco, if not the world. Every hour brings dozens of new Twitter followers and Facebook fans, writing things like “Just flew in from the UK will certainly visit!” and “I live nearly as far away from San Fran as possible ― in Germany ― but I hope to visit before the year is out….” Clusters of people stand outside Fat Cookies, taking photos and basking in the glow of the Next Big Thing.

One of the most buzzed-about baking operations in the world?  Foodie, please.  No doubt they have had a cool gimmick going for them, but have you ever dunked an Oreo in some milk before?  That shit is the jam. 

Anyway, regardless of the Weeky's exaggeration, Fat Cookies is the latest DIY food operation to get the axe thanks to all the publicity 'street food' gets.  Back to buying $10 weed cookies!
