Cookies are for sale at what is basically a "super sized" version of the old traditional Bavarian harvest festival, Oktoberfest.

Heart Shaped Gingerbread Cookies decorated with all types of mottos, an unmissable addition to the calorific food already on offer.

Oktoberfestherzen - Gingerbread Cookie Hearts

While strong beer makes sure there are willing voices to join in with the continuous "musical" background, including a catchy and popular song which shares it's title with one of the most seen "Cookie Heart Mottos", WEIL I DI MOG - "Because I Like You".

Here is a link to the song, sung in the rather "special" Bavarian dialect with its text, and the same link with an English translation is in the article WEIL I DI MOG

The motto on this cookie says....For the best mother in the world.
