*** Remember, the Player Character has managed to turn all the molecules in the universe to cookie dough. It’s entirely possible that a being that powerful could brainwash angels into helping them, no matter how evil the being was.

* You know how your buildings and upgrades get ludicrously more expensive as you progress into the game? Yeah, it's simply because having trillions and trillions of cookies produced EVERY SECOND simply causes a massive inflation. It's about as profitable as trying to sell dirt nowadays. Especially since they've been turned into a currency people get PAID in

** Which begs the question; ''what the hell could be '''worse''' than them?!'''

** Some of the heavenly upgrades involve celestial beings boosting your CPS while the game is closed. Given how power-hungry and greedy you were during your lifetime, only demons would be willing to help you out, right? Wrong. Angelic beings, including '''{{God}}''' Himself, help you out in that area as well. Which begs the question: How [[GodAndSatanAreBothJerks messed up are the heavenly beings]] if such a greedy, callous human being can get their assistance?

** With the 2.109 update, now the cookies can access the ''the very code used to make the game itself'' to make more cookies.

** The latest update features Chancemakers, which ''materialise cookies from nothing out of sheer probability.''

* The Ascension system, which lets you to [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascend to a heavenly plane]] to buy special upgrades before returning to the mortal world. Given how the planet was transformed into a CrapsaccharineWorld during your lifetime, the inhabitants probably felt relieved that the power-hungry cookie magnate that ruined the world finally died and they could begin recovery efforts. ''Nope''. You come right back, more powerful before, to re-do the whole nightmare all over again. And you do this ''multiple times''.

* Even without the Grandmapocalypse, you have things such as a time machine that steals cookies from the past, cookies becoming such SeriousBusiness that they become the lifeblood of the world economy and [[ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow showing allergic reactions to them brands you as a social outcast]], devices that convert antimatter into cookies, and producing so many cookies that every last molecule in the universe turns into cookies!

* The fact that ancient baking artifacts are discovered on distant planets. The terrifying implications are that ''something made the Grandmatriarches in all their creepiness '''leave''' '' before you called them back.

* Remember how '''Grannies''' mutate into these nightmarish monsters during the "Grandmapocalypse"? Well, that's because they're turning into '''[[{{Pun}} Elder]]'''[[Eldritch Abomination itch Abominations]]!

* When buying the "Season Switcher" upgrade, five cookies appear as upgrades; one for Halloween, one for Christmas, one for Valentine's Day, one for Easter, and one for Business Day. The latter is called "Fool's biscuit", for two reasons: First, it's the April Fools cookie. Second, unlike the other season cookies, which allow the player to get many new upgrades, the Business Day cookie will not allow you to unlock anything; therefore, it's pointless, and if you buy it, you are a fool. The game itself says such.
** Beta version 1.9 adds a prestige upgrade that makes golden cookies more frequent during Business Day, making the fool's biscuit a much less foolish purchase.

* After playing a [[ConstructionAndManagementGames tycoon]]/IdleGame hybrid called ''VideoGame/ClickingBad'' for a while, I realized what actually happens when you "sell" a "building" that's a person. In ''Clicking Bad'', you run an illicit business producing the controlled stimulant medication desoxyephedrine, much as in the TV series ''Series/BreakingBad''. You "buy" and "sell" drug dealers and attorney-dealers in the same list as actual buildings such as a nightclub with a pharmacy, and after a while, you realize that what you're doing by "selling" your dealers or bakers is giving them a pink slip.
-->"You're fired."
-->"I thought you loved me."
-->"I still do. I just have to let you go. Feel free to use me as a reference."

** Then again, MINING cookies and GROWING cookies are ridiculous already.

* "Your cookies are rewriting the fundamental laws of the Universe". The buildings before the cookies start rewriting are fairly mundane if excessive: farms, factories, mines, and grandmothers. After this happens, you get a FantasyKitchenSink to bake cookies with, and can make cookies using interstellar travel, alchemy, inter''dimensional'' travel, time travel, antimatter-to-matter conversion, light-to-matter conversion, you name it. The cookies rewrote the laws of the Universe to make all this possible. This also explains why every scientific advancement is used just for making cookies-the cookies are the ones making them.

!!FridgeBrilliance: Selling grandmas means firing them.
