    The trick is to reward yourself with a little treat every, I dunno, tenth time, and then wholeheartedly commit to not gaming the system.

      well obviously as the treat distributor, you skim a treat off for yourself. And as the treat deliverer you get one too. As the treat consumer, you already are getting your treat. and the corruption and embezzlement only expands from there. soon you’re consuming entire bags at a time but you need to keep the system fed. everyone has more and more mouths to put cookies in. eventually the system will need to collapse.
