Jayne, surely you've heard of Herman's Hermits.

Excellent.  Danke schoen, mein Oberst!

It did.  Silly forum.  But it's something I can't control.  :(

The name sounds familiar but I have a vague recollection of there being a cookie with a name like that.

I do not know if there was such a similarly-named cookie, or whether it predated the rock group or not.  Perhaps they named themselves after the cookie; the members of the group were, after all, very young.  Their singer, Peter Noone, was something like the Justin Beiber of the British Invasion scene.  They were only slightly less manufactured than their American counterparts, The Monkees.  But both groups had some halfway decent sugary-catchy songs, even if they didn't write them themselves.

I think I have heard that song.  I googled and discovered that the cookies do not have a "Herman" in the them.  They are just hermit cookies.
QuoteIt's so easy to like Hermit Cookies, with their soft and chewy texture, their spicy flavor, and how they're loaded with raisins, dates, and nuts. The general consensus is that Hermit Cookies were so named because of how long they can be stored. This old fashioned 19th century cookie must have quite a few fans because on the American Food Holidays' calendar November 15th is National Spicy Hermit Cookie Day.

I'm old enough to have very fond memories of the British Invasion (saw the Beatles first Ed Sullivan Show performance on TV when I was 8), and always have like I'm Into Something Good by Herman's Hermits. Myself, I got very much into blues, jazz and R&B by the mid 60s, however, must admit that I went to two Peter Noone/Hermits shows  in the early 2000s and he was outstanding. I have a great deal of respect for the man.

Jayne

I daresay that listening to music is better for you than eating cookies anyhow.
