My friend Amanda gave me the best cookies: old school Star Trek gingerbread men - the guys in the red shirts always got killed.
"A "redshirt" is a stock character in fiction who dies soon after being introduced. The term originates with fans of Star Trek (1966–1969), from the red shirts worn by Starfleet security officers who frequently die during episodes. Redshirt deaths are often used to dramatize the potential peril that the main characters face."
