Girl Scouts reveal new cookie flavors for 2015

Source: CNN

Just in time to thwart that New Year's resolution to eat healthier, the Girl Scouts announced today they will offer three new cookie varieties for 2015.

Two of the new offerings are gluten-free: Toffee-tastic, a cookie with toffee bits; and Trios, a cookie made with peanut butter, chocolate chips and whole grain oats.

Rah-Rah Raisins, an oatmeal raisin cookie with Greek yogurt-flavored chunks, will also be available for the first time.

Chemicals are merely a part of the agenda of the Girl Scout Industrial Complex-- they cause a distinct lack of grammar and punctuation skills while simultaneously enhancing the Frontal Snark Lobe of people who like to pretend they're clever.

Crow-flavored cookies for Boehner, Maple Syrup Sweets for Ted Cruz, Lost Dignity Bars for Donald Trump, Fifteen Minutes & Fuck Off Fudge for Sarah Palin, etc.

I'll be sure to buy a few when they start selling them. I support the Girl Scouts' progressive causes 100%.

as a former Girl Scout and cookie-seller with fond memories of the whole ordeal, I'd be happy if they just brought back some actual flavor. I want my old butter flavored Shorties that actually tasted like something other than sawdust. When I eat cookies I don't expect them to be health food. Nowadays I don't buy Girl Scout cookies, they just remind me of how everything nowadays sucks.

In the past years if I was approached I bought, I looked for sources in 2014 and plan to purchase again in 2015. Let the RW haters boycott, those who love the Girl Scouts support them.
