I wonder how they're going to integrate Chips Ahoy into the existing Cisco
lineup. Nabisco always used to advertise that Chips Ahoy has far more chips
than any of the competing products.


With new process techology, the entire box of cookies can be integrated
into a single chip. This will improve eating performance to over 3
million cookies per second (CPS). Unfortunatly, there are still thermal
issues that must be resolved so each package will contain a heat sink and
fan that can be strapped to your head.

Both chips and cookies will now be available in 6" wafers, with or without
chocolate coating.

To ensure quality, all cookies will be factory tested for opens or shorts
in the chocolate layer.

The new lineup of cookies will also incorporate BIST (built in self taste)
to insure consistant flavor.

CAD/EDA vendors are now rushing to update their software to incorporate
constraint based routing for multi-layer chocolate and vanilla wafers.

New firewall software will be able to convert web site cookies into real
cookies so you can snack while you browse.
