Girl Scout cookies
Is it just me or are there a bunch that have been discontinued this year? Seems like I remember some kind of lemon shortbready thing that I absolutely loved...and I don't see it on the sheet this year.

Why must people always mess with a good thing??

1. They periodically rotate some of the varieties of cookies.
The standards always remain.

4. Heh...and I think I must be a strange cookie
because it's always the ones I like that are rotated out. Except for the trefoils. Thank goodness for those.

2. The All Abouts are gone this year (shortbread with a layer of chocolate)
Edited on Sat Jan-10-09 09:09 PM by Left Is Write
but our area is still selling the Lemon Chalet Creams.

New this year: Dulce de Leche cookies.

3. I liked those, too
I saw these lemon cream sandwich cookie, but the ones I'm thinking of were more like the All Abouts, only with lemon.

Damn, they were good.

5. Triple R!!!!! Long time no see!
Edited on Sat Jan-10-09 09:15 PM by liberaltrucker
Y'all doing OK? Can't remember the name, but my favorite was a cookie with oatmeal
and peanut butter on the outside with a peanut butter filling. Similar to the Gaucho
cookies marketed by (I think) Keebler in the 1970's

7. It's been a while...
I still lurk sometimes, though. I'm doin' okay...plugging away, you know how it is.

And yup...they still have that cookie. I think I saw it on the list, anyway.

:hi:

6. Check the keebler fudge shoppe cookies.
that line of cookies makes some GSC knockoffs at a more moderate price, maybe the ones that you like are available

8. I'll look...
that's a good idea. I kinda doubt it, though. I'm a product development kiss of death. Truly. It's gotten so bad that if I like something, my SO'll suggest that we stock up because it'll be discontinued within a year.

11. Oh, that's a job I never, ever wanted.
It was bad enough having all of girly-poo's cookies stacked in the living room every year -- I can't imagine having everyone else's too. Not even for a little while.

:scared:

You rock!

14. Hi RRR
When I was a teen I bought a box of GS cookies and wrote a check. The check bounced!!! They called me and I went downtown right away to square up with them.

13. Our Troop leader told us they take the lowest two sellers off the list
and bring in two new kinds.

I will cry if that were to ever happen to the Thins Mints! :9

15. Not a chance
although the trefoils are my favorite by far. Since the lemony shortbread went away, anyway.

18. There are two different bakers
It is up to the individual council which baker is used. The LA council sold cookies later and from the other baker than our council did last year. So I got both sets of cookies because I know someone from the LA council.

22. Still....I'll bet neither of them
makes my Lemonades anymore.

*sigh*

Well...it's good for me, right? Fewer calories. Better for my backside.

There. I guess there's a bright side, after all.

:P

23. We have not started selling cookies yet.
We did sell the Lemonades last year, if we have them this year do you want to buy some from K?
