Why would setting [removed] not work in Chrome?

Question

My coworker ran into an issue where NO cookie could be set on Chrome via code like this:

document.cookie = \"TEST=1; expires=Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:23:32 GMT; pat

As another user mentioned, you have to set them one-by-one. These functions can be useful in parsing & applying a cookie string:

function clearCookies(){
    var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(i in cookies){
        var vals = cookies[i].split('=');
        var name = vals.shift(0, 1).trim();
        document.cookie = name+'=';
    }
}
function parseCookies(cookie){
    clearCookies();
    var cookies = cookie.split(';');
    for(i in cookies){
        var vals = cookies[i].split('=');
        var name = vals.shift(0, 1).trim();
        document.cookie = name+'='+vals.join('=');
    }
}
