First off, let’s get this out of the way. Thin Mints aren’t being discontinued. Those would be fighting words.
But a fan-favorite cookie that debuted last year won’t be available again this year, Girl Scout officials have confirmed.
Girl Scouts of the USA told Today.com that Raspberry Rally cookies won’t be sold when cookie season kicks off in January. The cookies were introduced last year but sold only online and, due to resellers grabbing the boxes, soon appeared on sites for up to $180 a box.
“Last year, Raspberry Rally cookies were introduced as part of a pilot online-only sales strategy,” a Girl Scouts spokesperson said.
“This was a fun and new way to teach girls omnichannel business skills and expand our cookie portfolio by introducing an exciting new flavor profile to the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
“While Raspberry Rally was extremely popular last year, we are taking a pause this season to prioritize supplying our classic varieties.”
Other Girl Scout favorites will be back this year, including Do-si-dos, Samoas, Peanut Butter Patties Tagalongs, Trefoils and – thank heavens – Thin Mints.
