A friend of Seattlest sent us a link to Cakespy's examination of the history of the ubiquitous pink frosted cookie. Turns out "ubiquitous" only applies in the Seattle area:

If you don't live in Seattle, you might not even know about this cookie (while it exists elsewhere, we've never seen it in quite the same proliferation in our assorted travels); even if you do live in Seattle, you might not have stopped to question why it is that this confection is always around--gas stations, delis, grocery stores, drugstores--everywhere!

We've never thought of the pink frosted cookie as a regional thing. (We haven't thought of them for a while, actually, and we haven't eaten one in at least a decade, tasty as they are. We consume our "478 calories of heart-attack-waiting-to-happen" from other sources.)
