It's officially the beginning of Girl Scout cookie season, but it's the end for two flavors. The Girl Scouts of the USA announced that the "S'mores" and "Toast-Yay!" cookies will be discontinued after this year, joining the "Raspberry Rally" flavor in retirement. cnn.it/4h93knz

Haven’t bought a Girl Scout cookie since they tried to farm making their uniforms out of the country. Not to mention; they don’t have the girls sell their own cookies; parents take the order forms to their employers.

I would take the form to work but my daughters would fill out the confirmation form &write thank yous for each customer. We sold door to door in our neighborhood as well as in front of stores. It’s a hard gig and these girls really work hard to earn money so they can have great troop experiences.

“Not to mention; they don’t have the girls sell their own cookies; parents take the order forms to their employers.” Tell that to my daughter who literally went door to door and also manned a table at a supermarket.

tradition in my office is for people to email around a link to a website. one guy makes his daughter write notes, another had her come in to walk them around, but by and large yeah, it's mostly parent marketing.

I’d be violating ethics requirements if I did this in my office. My daughter has so far sold 150 boxes, and I’d say 3/4 have been on her efforts

You can’t really say the raspberry rallies were retired, they were always going to be a one time thing. It was a thin mint, but raspberry. 5/10, would not buy.

I found the same type of cookies (thin mints in particular) at the Dollar Store that cost less than half of what the Girl Scouts charge. I don't blame the Scouts; they get less than a dollar from the proceeds. Corporate greed has taken over their biggest fundraiser. I'll get my fix elsewhere.

What’s wrong with a human interest story? A lot of people love Girl Scout cookies and look forward to this time of year. And what’s wrong with hyping this story? Majority of women in leadership positions (congress, business, governors) in this country were once scouts.
