I researched vanilla and in the end it came down to the fact that I am willing to pay the price. I'm always researching to find the best and test it. (it can make a difference)

But was the scoop biodegradable?

I have ultimate confidence in my intuition, abilities and experience. I love a great chocolate chip cookie and couldn't find one that satisfied my taste buds.

I read that your inspiration was how good Famous Amos cookies were when Wally Amos started the business at one location on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. How hard was it to reverse engineer a cookie similar to his original?

no. It was a ignorant move by the DA. Any intelligent responsible DA would have given notice so the "issue" could be resolved. Still in business but I lost 2 major customers who still accounted for over $1million in sales annually. 12 people lost their jobs. Fault of a overzealous DA trying to advance herself by taking irresponsible/wrong action

Because it is cheaper to buy vanilla from Madagascar.

Did you have to sell Dispoz-a-Scoop after California DAs sent a notice that it was illegal to sell the dog poop scooper because it was called "99% biodegradable" on the packaging? And was it biodegradable?

“End of the road” means you’re going out out of business? Sorry to hear. What’s next for you?

I choose to be the best at what I do. There's always room at the top.

I grew up in Texas where Mexican vanilla had such a legendary reputation people going to Mexico were always asked to bring some back with them. How did you decide on using Madagascar vanilla for your cookies and what has it been like to obtain vanilla from that country?

Hello /u/begreen622,
There is not enough proof included in the post that connects your identity to the IAmA.
Unfortunately, the links or photos you've posted could have been posted by anyone, and they don't prove that you are the person doing the AMA. Your proof needs to be something that connects the fact that you're doing an AMA with your identity. This could be something like a photo of you in a work uniform or at a relevant location with a sign that has your username and the date. It could also be documents (partially redacted if desired) with a note that has your username and the date. We're happy for you to get creative with your proof as long as it makes it clear to a reasonable person that the person doing the AMA does meet the criteria laid out in the topic of the AMA.
If you can't think of a way to prove your claims publicly, you can also submit confidential proof to the moderators at this link, though bear in mind it may take some time to review.
Here's a link to the section of our wiki that discusses proof.
Please edit your post and add new proof, and reply here to let us know. If your post is more than a couple of hours old, it may be more effective to create a new post and include the proof from the start. Thanks!
If you'd like to appeal, please click here to send a message to the moderator team.
