    Solution: The first letters of the entries with clues that begin “That crossword” spell COOKIE and are common crossword answers. That crossword cookie usually means OREO, the meta answer. 1A 5A 20A 38A 49A 50a

        In this case, the answer IS black and white. :D
        • LarsCaine constructor · 2024-11-10T03:59:56.989Z
          Haha, I just had some Golden Oreos, which was my inspiration for the puzzle😊
          • Darth 9:13 · 2024-11-10T16:25:10.851Z
            Oh, yeah. I forgot about all the varieties. ;)

            Easier than I thought! I was thinking I'd need to correlate something with the themers.
            • LarsCaine constructor · 2024-11-11T23:41:55.691Z
              😁
