Man 😢 he seemed like such a nice guy too.

[@johnnyorganez2072]

Met this man in 1998, was a really nice guy.

RIP to you Mr. Amos ✊🏾 I did a book report on him for Black History month as a little boy, and his cookies were certainly one of my favorites.

[@kristina__marie]

Amos is my nephew's middle name bc my sister & BIL ate Famous Amos cookies from the vending machine whenever she visited his dorm room when they first met. They continue to be one of our favorite treats as a family. RIP Wally - I hope you know how many lives you touched. ❤

R.I.P. to this entrepreneur and talent agent, Famous Amos... Happiness in a bag of cookies. I liked his "Taxi" appearance with Andy Kaufman in the 1970's. He taught young kids to read also.

RIP Wally, bake and play and relate amongst the stars as you SO deserve to. Thanks for the MAGIC, and your life and work will forever be celebrated, cherished, and inspire others. Godspeed, sir, a true gentleman and consummate human being. RIP.

I don't know much about the cookies, but if they caught the attention of The Temptations and Marvin Gaye, they must be good. Now, he'll be in eternal peace!🙂

@@Lamin_G Why do you N words only support famous N words, because they are N words? So Neanderthal and primitive like, so dumbbb, you really are more Apeee then human, like your DNA says

He seemed like a very humble man , I wish that I've knew of him and ate his cooking... Ironicly speaking because I have Celiac disease. Lol May Lord Jesus Christ grant him the highest rank and level in Heaven. Amen🙏

[@kamalcampbell2254]

Rest ☮️

[@user-bc6ll5mt4j]

I remember eating this cookies as a kid. They werent very good and they hurt your gums after awhile but its what we had back then. There are much better options now for store bought cookies.

[@annzeeg4217]

Then they probably weren't the original he sold the company and they changed the recipe to save cost.

[@cameddy4081]

God bless !! The American dream ❤️❤️❤️

[@davidsuttles3737]

I need to see/read more on this. How he lost the company for one. We have the best ideas and always lose it.

[@LiftingGunsBibleTradition]

Cookies 🍪 Made warm and fresh out of my as5! 🚽

[@ddellwo]

I never understood how those cookies became “famous” because they aren’t very good……????

[@annzeeg4217]

Because he sold the company and they changed the original recipe to save cost

[@1990758]

Well there's no accounting for taste. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and it needs to be respected.

[@omartistry]

They are delicious. They only got disgusting once he had to sell his cookie brand for a while

[@jaybrown7811]

❤

[@MyTwoCents2]

Typical: just like the cotton gin Famous Amos lost his company? By 1985, revenue was down and the company lost money. He lost his home. The company was sold to the Shansby Group and Wally remained as spokesperson for a year...

[@amalina7182]

Good coikie
