i just can’t do it!  
i assigned a cookie:

cookies[:logged\_in] = {:value =\> session[‘user’].email, :expires =\> nil,  
:path =\> ‘/’}

it saved, as i saw the cookie in the browser preferences;  
and then tried to delete it.

cookies.delete :logged\_in

and IT DOESN’T WORK!!!  
has anyone had any problems with this or am i missing something really  
really stupid?
