Why Did I Take That Cookie?

So here's a confession that has been bugging me for weeks now. Every day at work, there’s this big cookie jar sitting right by the break room fridge, and every single afternoon around 4 PM, my coworkers have these huge snacks. You know what they say about temptation, but man, it’s hard to resist those cookies when you’re having a stressful day. The funny thing is, I usually don’t take more than one or two at most, but the other day, I just had this uncontrollable urge to take five of them! To make things worse, everyone noticed and there was this awkward silence around me. It’s like my brain goes into autopilot when it sees those cookies. So here's what bugs me: is there something in those cookies that makes people act so strangely? Or am I the only one who loses control over such simple pleasures? Let me know if you've ever done something similar or have any theories!
