Heidi expresses this to Red quietly; Red quickly tries to gaslight her by quipping something along the lines of that she must have eaten too many junky store bought cookies and ruined her taste buds. Heidi looks at her firmly and reiterates that she knows what she had, and unless Red has managed to perfectly reengineer them, sodium benzoate and all, she's netting easily at least a dollar per cookie.

Red asks her what she wants. Heidi says she wants a cut, and she'll make it worth the while.

Reddy Set cookies are now $15 for six; Heidi films lots of cute influencer videos showcasing new flavor combos she and Red made, gushes about the amount of mix ins the customer gets in each cookie (to stretch the product yet more), and the girls cite rising ingredient cost for the reason the cookies cost more. (Heidi is now getting about $3 in "advertising" and 20 percent of the profits in hush money. We stan a queen).

Wendy, meanwhile, sees these and makes joking videos with Bebe with jewelry (friendship bracelets and charms) they're making where they pretend they're selling them for even more ridiculous prices because the twine was spun off of Peruvian alpacas, and the unique color combo that is pink and purple is just so avant garde they have to factor that in. These obviously satirical videos start to go viral.

Such and so forth, people start to actually want to buy the bracelets from Wendy and Bebe. The girls offer them at reasonable prices for a little bit, and then realize business spikes when they do mystery scoops and make little videos of them opening the bubbles, packing the order, and making the bracelets. Now, for $15, you can get three bracelets, two charms, and a mystery item from Beads & Berets, all with a video of them packing it while gossiping about the tea. They also tease that one of their mystery items is a Reddy Set cookie.

Business for Reddy Set takes a nosedive, because almost everyone tries to get the sampler from Beads & Berets. Red heavily considers trying to cancel them online or spread rumors about their product, but the idea makes Heidi sick to her stomach; instead, she makes videos about how great it is that people are choosing a better-quality product that supports a local business instead of some inethically-sourced cheaper alternatives (all while stressing that Reddy Set cookies are a treat to be enjoyed periodically, and she prefers buying a six-pack once in a while to feel good about herself instead of a cheaper goodie that directly contributes to landfill waste and supports big megacorporations.) It's almost like every Reddy Set cookie gives you a little boost of morality! That's ethical consumption, babe!

Jesus makes a brief, curt announcement that unlicensed selling on school grounds or bullying other students is frowned upon; Heidi makes a TikTok zooming in on the plate of Reddy Set cookies in the staff room and Jesus with his arms out to "Pop Like This".

Grown adults start contacting the school or trying to skim Heidi's account trying to order Reddy Set cookies like indulgences. The girls start saying something like "Every cookie makes you better!" P.C. Principle starts soliciting his old frat bros to support Red and Heidi's business

Jesus very firmly writes a full list of reasons this is all a bad idea and sticks it to the school doors. P.C. accidentally tears it down rushing his frat brothers in to order and tip Red and Heidi.

Marjorine, ever to hop on the trends, finally gets her cookies (she ordered them six weeks ago when they were still $15; they're like $25 now) and splits one with Kenny.

Kenny muffles "[$15 for cookies? They'd better be made of crack]". After some munching, he says they're pretty good, but not worth the price. Marjorine agrees, and quips they'd probably be better if they WERE made with crack; the cookie is like 70% pretzels & caramel chips, she feels like she got sold baby powder.

Red hears this, and reflexively starts beating the snot out of her.

Marjorine panics and offers to say they're good, all while Red is letting out some pent-up stress and yelling about ingredient and labor cost; Cartman has snagged one of Marjorine's other cookies and is eating it while egging on the fight.

Beads & Berets, of course, catches the whole thing on video and starts selling a custom "cookiegate" bracelet. Heidi sees her chance out and takes it making a video about how she had no idea Red was that type of person; Red takes Heidi down with the ship by posting their text agreements.
