So, I regularly check the NME's newsfeed for potential article material.

This article made me click, but not necessarily for the reasons they intended.
Watch Cookie Monster eat Lizzo’s flute on ‘Sesame Street’

And this is the image they decided to use to accompany it:



And, no, Grover isn't even in the sketch. I know that Sesame Street never really caught on in the UK, but seriously? All I had to do was type in "Cookie Monster" and immediately fond five good photos of Cookie. I even got the same results when using my VPN and changing my location to the Docklands.

I even found the stock Alamy photo they used and cited, and it still said it was Grover, not Cookie Monster.

I'm my experience it did take off in the UK, me and my sister grew up on it in the 80's and 90's. I'm not quite sure how old we were when we watched it... I think we were too old for the learning/alphabet stuff etc, but not too old for the puppets. We loved it.
