It's also why they advice eating meat or beans afterwards, you need the protein.
I mean really, who could possibly say no to FREE COOKIES!? The fun, free gifts are always nice, also, but I know not every place does that.

It's all about them genetics. I can't really remember exactly how it works other than Os are generally recessive. So if you have a lot of mixes it means some people in your family are carrying the O gene and it's just not showing up.
Yeah, that sounds about right. I think I'm the only one on the family that has O type blood, so it's probably related to those reasons.
