Cookie Monster

Insatiable blue devourer

Cookie Monster is a blue, furry puppet character from the children's television show *Sesame Street*, known for his voracious, messy consumption of cookies and his signature phrase "Me want cookie." The name extends to anyone who devours cookies enthusiastically or, more broadly, anyone with an insatiable appetite for something: My roommate is a total cookie monster—she finished the whole box.
