    Ginger Snapps -- Oswaldo Muniz

    Ginger "Cookie" Snapps is a former member of the Colonel de Keebler Company where she became popular dancing the full complement of Ballet Suites. Her metabolic rise to stardom resulted in her becoming too big for the company. After a 12 step residency she triumphantly returned to Keebler to dance the Sugar Plump Fairy. A failed coup attempt created a sticky situation landing her on her bun. It was at this point that Grandiva picked her up (no small feat) and is proud to include her as a major ingredient in their recipe for success.
