I experienced something similar in what is left of our free enterprise system. I started a little business that I thought would be just side money, (all he wanted was one store to make a living), and it took off like it was alive. I started making $125,000 out of my one car garage. It was amazing!!! I finally understood the founding of USA and who free enterprise belongs to. Then it struck me" "Free enterprise is alive. It is alive and breathing just as much as we are, (pointing at our brains), no more and no less." Then obama got elected and told me I didn't build that. Ouch , that hurt a lot. I hate communism. I love our free enterprise system, and I say we should demand it back.
When he made them and put them in the store OMG THEY WERE GREAT but when the people stole his business and they started making them THEY WERE NOT THE SAME
@@dignifiedblackman4742 actually it's not . If you leave yourself open and don't copyright your material , it's up for grabs on the market . It can happen to any of us , if we're naive enough.
That means you don't want to live in poverty under communism, because you know you can do better in a free enterprise system too. Just guessing about what you think,---but I know it is true. :)
@@andrewguerra9343 what they call famous Amos today barely resembles what the originals were they were so much better... isn't that the way it goes. I'll never forget the racks with hot cookies of different kinds it was amazing and I'm sure you can imagine the smell right there on sunset boulevard!
I went to his grand opening as well at 12 yrs old on sunset blvd! I met Wally in person standing outside holding a straw hat filled with his warm small cookies wearing a Hawaiian shirt. He left a forever impression on me. A man with incredible charm and full of positive energy and immense charisma.
Amos should have gotten lawyers and stuff to help him make smarter business decisions. It’s almost a scam to have his face be on the bag but he’s living in a YMCA In Hawaii etc
Yeah , I’m 36 and I met Wally Amos when I was 13 at school. He gave each of the students in my class a book he wrote. They guy was obsessed with watermelons , I still remember his watermelons paintings shoes. Very nice and polite person.
@House of the Diamond 8 Nope you clearly don't remember there was a whole movement back then when they would slap black faces of made up characters on their products like Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima & the Popeyes lady etc.
@House of the Diamond 8 Ok miss wikipedia I know his life story. You clearly made a smart comment not understanding wtf I was talking about. There were plenty products with black faces on them back then & weren't even owned by black ppl which is what I'm saying. I know history well hun so chill my age don't matter bcuz I probably have read more books & seen hella more documentaries than you. What I'm getting at is those products I named aren't real ppl but caricatures of US! Growing up eating famous amos cookies I never seen his face bcuz its not printed on individual bags & if it was I didn't pay it any mind.
If you develop a product that people are asking for, there is no reason why you can't grow with out outside help. The less people involved, all with their own interests, the better IMO. Everybody will want a piece of the action,---and they may be able to take it.
It's 12pm I'm all drunk and what do I do I drive to 711 and get some of my favorite cookies, then I say to myself who the fuck started this.lol. then I'm here. I walked
So you are actually a racist? I am a white guy who loves good honest business, as I understand free enterprise was created by free people and belongs to us. I know the color of the skin does not dictate the thoughts of the mind. Propaganda does that. Guess what your brain adopted. I promise you, if you and I did good business together, we would make more money and become friends, (trading money instead of blood is a good thing). Unfortunately, proper business is part of morality too, and we don't have a lot of that anymore.
Amos was great on the sitcom TV show "Taxi". He had a good message at the end. Very funny show. Here it is. th-cam.com/video/fxez4vBK4tM/w-d-xo.html You never hear those words anymore,--so how can it happen?
😂 @ the comments while enjoying famous Amos N Walgreens little mini chocolate chip cookies 🍪 they are both blended in my cookie jar 🫙drink them with chocolate milk 🥛 u will be way in over the night 🥰
@@thecuteshuttletransportati7025 If he made another and better cookie, I am pretty sure they would sell. Especially if he had a great message about how free enterprise should work. I think people would listen if he got that right. He would actually be a hero,---if he got that right.
They should make a movie about his story
Inspiring stories cud make loads
I bought these from Costco, forgot about them they taste better than chips ahoy
RIP 🙏🏿 😢

So sad how he lost his company to these devil's and how he could his name and they change the resipe. The cookie don't taste the same nomore.
Yeah

Real talk
That's when food was less processed
They stole his business and his name, SMH!
Because he didn't copyright it . They didn't steal it , they expanded upon it.
@@GMANKOOL23 That's theft

Sad the man was bankrupt for years.....
I only see these cookies at vending machines as a kid or at Costco nowadays
He actually has a new business in cookies now and even went on shark tank but sadly didn’t get a deal
@@goodra999 I see them at all the stores in Tx Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons even at Dollar General and Family Dollar.
had to watch this 20 yrs ago in my senior high school economics class. This **** was so BORING
RIP Wally Amos
The office brought me here..lol
