GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — Forget about the UW Battleground Poll or the Marquette University Law School Poll.
A famous local bakery is adding a bit of fun to an otherwise divisive election.
The Uncle Mike’s Bake Shoppe Cookie Poll is the most delicious in the land.
“We have caricatures of each candidate and we put that on to a cookie, and then we sell these cookies,” explained owner Mike VandeWalle.
They then keep track of which cookie sells more. That’s the “poll”. VandeWalle started it in 2012.
“Some people buy them because they believe in that candidate, and other people buy them to give to someone as a joke,” VandeWalle said. “It goes back and forth both ways.”
It’s all in good fun, but VandeWalle says the poll has indeed correctly predicted the winner of the last two elections. As of Friday, President Trump is winning 57% to 42%.
“It’s definitely a fun thing we’re doing, especially this year,” VandeWalle told WTAQ. “Lightening things up. Just having fun with it.”
Cookies can be ordered online at their website and in all three of their stores throughout Brown County.
