I would like to add a little more information about this.  

It is definately _not_true_.  This urban legend/myth pops up from time to
time, often with the "Cookie Company" changed (I've seen a version, for
example, that uses Mrs. Fields Cookies).  I even saw a version in Ann Landers
(or Dear Abby) where the "story" was related, and the response was to the
effect of "This is not true.  Don't you have anything better to do that waste
everyone's time with these false stories?"
