Reply to comment by theeightofspades in [WP] A film-noir detective has their biggest case yet: Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? by bidgeywidgey
Okay, I think I get most of the allusions. But who do the three troublemakers refer to?

Nice! From the Cookie Monster Wikipedia entry: "The book Jim Henson's Designs and Doodles explains Cookie Monster's origin as follows: 'In 1966, Henson drew three monsters that ate cookies and appeared in a General Foods commercial that featured three crunchy snack foods: Wheels, Crowns and Flutes. Each snack was represented by a different monster. The Wheel-Stealer was a short, fuzzy monster with wonky eyes and sharply pointed teeth. The Flute-Snatcher was a speed demon with a long, sharp nose and windblown hair. The Crown-Grabber was a hulk of a monster with a Boris Karloff accent and teeth that resembled giant knitting needles.'"
