Pittsburgh-based Jenny Lee bakery and a local publisher have teamed up to create America's answer to the fortune cookie: The Smart Cookie. The walnut-shaped cookies, designed by local architect Sylvester Damianos, contain strips of paper with question-and-answer trivia written by Charles Reichblum, author of the Knowledge in a Nutshell series of books published by his wife, local public relations agency owner Audrey Reichblum. The idea for the "brain food" was cooked up after President Bush nicknamed Pittsburgh "Knowledge Town" on a recent trip here. The cookies - $14.95 for a box of 12 - go on sales starting tomorrow at Jenny Lee Bakery stores and over the Internet at www.knowledgedinanutshell.com.
