CookieJar.com, a domain registered in 1996, was somehow abandoned by its registrant, Mondelēz International.
With an annual revenue of $26 billion dollars, it’s beyond comprehension why would the allow a great generic domain such as CookieJar.com. to expire, and drop.
Illinois-based Mondelēz International operates many major snack and food brands under its hood:
Cookie and cracker brands Belvita, Chips Ahoy!, Oreo, Ritz, TUC, Triscuit, LU, Club Social, Sour Patch Kids, Barny, and Peek Freans; chocolate brands Milka, Côte d’Or, Toblerone, Cadbury, Green & Black’s, Freia, Marabou, Fry’s, and Lacta; gum and cough drop brands Trident, Dentyne, Chiclets, Halls, and Stride; as well as Jell-O, Tate’s Bake Shop and powdered beverage brand Tang.

The domain CookieJar.com is now being auctioned at DropCatch, with 2 days left; the current high bid stands at $12,550 dollars. It should reach low/mid five figures by Sunday at 3:00pm Eastern that the auction ends.
For reference, GoDaddy Domain Appraisal tool says the domain is worth less than that.
Update: The domain CookieJar.com sold for $18,938 dollars. Winner is DropCatch account “global.”
