Mankind has created spectacular works of art, engineered incredibly tall buildings, designed impressive supercomputers, lived in outerspace, discovered cures for nasty diseases. As a whole, nothing can compare to human intelligence, but sometimes, humans put more than chocolate in their cookies.

Chilean police arrested an Argentine woman allegedly trying to smuggle cocaine to Spain hidden in chocolate-coated alfajores -- cookies popular in the southern nations of South America.

Alicia Arce, 29, was detained at Santiago airport on Monday after police found 17.6 pounds (8 kg) of cocaine hidden in the foil-wrapped cookies.

They said she was planning to fly to the Spanish city of Seville and believe the drugs may have come from Bolivia.

"Investigations are continuing in Argentina as well as in Spain," police subcommissioner Elias Arriagada said
