In a shocking update for cookie lovers, the Girl Scouts of the USA have announced that two popular cookie flavors, S’mores and Toast-Yay, will be retired from the lineup beginning in 2025. The decision has stirred mixed feelings among fans of the iconic fundraising treats. The S’mores cookies, which feature a layer of marshmallow and chocolate between two crunchy graham crackers, and Toast-Yay, with its delightful toast flavor and icing, have been crowd favorites since their respective releases; S’mores debuted in 2015 and Toast-Yay made its first appearance in 2021. Jennifer Danzek, a spokesperson for the Girl Scouts, explained, ‘Certain flavors will be phased out to make way for new ones. This decision was not easy, especially because these flavors have such a loyal following.’ The announcement comes as the organization aims to refresh its offerings annually in response to changing consumer tastes. While some cookie aficionados expressed their heartbreak over the retirement, others are excited about the potential new flavors that could be introduced. Girl Scout cookie sales have played a pivotal role in supporting youth leadership and community service, raising millions for troops across the nation. A poll conducted in January 2025 revealed that nearly 60% of customers favored classic flavors such as Thin Mints and Tagalongs, with many agreeing that while the departure of S’mores and Toast-Yay is sad, they are eager to see what new options will be available in the upcoming seasons.
