Middle America-In an unexpected move that has sent shockwaves through the Girl Scout cookie community, the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) revealed they are discontinuing two of their most beloved flavors, S’mores and Toast-Yay!, at the end of the 2025 season. Fans of the delicious cookies now only have one year left to hoard them in a desperate attempt to stave off the impending flavor apocalypse.
"How could they? How could they do this to us? These are the cookies that kept the world sane, and now they're just tossing them into the trash bin of history," said Robby Devons, a self-proclaimed Girl Scout cookie aficionado, shaking his head in disbelief. "They don’t understand! These cookies are icons. S’mores was introduced in 2017, and Toast-Yay! just hit the scene in 2021. They're not just snacks, they're legacies."
The decision to axe these fan-favorite flavors marks the first time GSUSA has announced a cookie discontinuation ahead of time—a move aimed at giving cookie lovers the chance to stockpile their beloved boxes. “It’s like they’re telling us we should just be okay with this,” Devons continued, clutching a nearly-empty box of S’mores cookies. “Like we can just let go of Toast-Yay! and S’mores and not spiral into some kind of cookie-induced existential crisis. Well, guess what? We’re not okay!”
According to GSUSA, the discontinuation is part of an ongoing effort to refresh their cookie lineup. “We want to provide the best possible variety to our customers while ensuring that the Girl Scouts remain at the forefront of innovation in the cookie world,” a spokesperson explained. “Sometimes that means making tough decisions about which flavors to keep and which to retire.”
However, many fans, including Devons, are having none of it. “Refreshing? Refreshing is when you introduce new flavors to keep things exciting, not just throw out fan favorites like you’re clearing out your grandmother’s attic,” Devons said. “The world’s already got enough change, and now they’re coming for the cookies that actually make life worth living.”
The announcement has sparked a wave of panic among cookie enthusiasts across the nation. S’mores, a decadent treat featuring marshmallow-flavored filling sandwiched between graham cracker-flavored cookies and dipped in chocolate, became an instant fan favorite when it was introduced in 2017. Toast-Yay!, a buttery, toast-shaped cookie with a sweet coating of icing, followed in 2021 and quickly gained a cult following. These flavors, according to experts, have now become more than just a snack—they are an essential part of the cultural fabric of Girl Scout cookie season.
“I can’t believe we’ve come to this,” said Stacey Holmes, a Girl Scout grand-mom who’s sold cookies for over three decades. “When I first heard the news, I thought it was some kind of sick joke. Who gets rid of S’mores? Who does that? It’s like telling people they can’t have campfires anymore because they’re too ‘old-fashioned.’”
Girl Scouts Announce Discontinuation of Cookies: In a move that echoes the notorious resale frenzy sparked by the Raspberry Rally cookie in 2023, cookie enthusiasts are already speculating that a black-market resale network will emerge, with boxes of S’mores and Toast-Yay! fetching outrageous prices. “We’re talking about people selling these cookies on the dark web, under the guise of ‘vintage flavors,’” said Devons. “I’d buy a box of S’mores for five hundred bucks if I have to. It’s not just about the cookies anymore, it’s about fighting back against this corporate nonsense.”
For Devons, this isn’t just a cookie issue—it’s a personal blow. “I cosplay as a Girl Scout every time I went to my kids’ elementary school PTA meetings, but now I guess I’ll just go back to Harley Quinn,” he said, shaking his head in resignation. “The Girl Scouts had my whole aesthetic. And now they’re taking that away too. I had my whole look, my vibe... gone. Who am I supposed to be now?”
The emotional toll of losing these cookies is far-reaching. For many fans, Girl Scout cookies are more than just a treat—they are a seasonal ritual. The mere sight of the familiar green and white boxes brings nostalgia, memories of selling cookies door-to-door, or perhaps bonding with a loved one over a box of Thin Mints.
"I’ve been selling Girl Scout cookies since I was a kid, and S’mores was always my go-to flavor,” said Linda Yates, a former Girl Scout from Oregon. “There’s something special about the S’mores flavor—it’s like a little piece of summer, no matter what time of year it is. They’re taking that away, and I don’t know if I can forgive them."
While the news comes as the Girl Scouts kick off their 2025 cookie season, fans are left wondering what other cookie disasters the organization has in store for the future. “If they try to phase out Thin Mints, I swear to the thin-mints deity, I’ll start a petition. We’re not losing Thin Mints, not on my watch,” Devons vowed, tightening his grip on his remaining stash. “If they try to mess with Tagalongs, I’ll burn this whole thing down.”
For now, cookie lovers across the nation can enjoy S’mores and Toast-Yay! cookies throughout 2025 while supplies last, but Devons urges fans to stock up early. “It’s the final countdown. You’ll regret not having a stash of these gems when they’re gone. Don’t come crying to me when they’re all sold out, and you’ve got nothing but a pile of Thin Mints to hold on to.”
In a final message to the Girl Scouts, Devons left a simple plea: “Don’t ruin my my saturday nights, Girl scouts, okay?”
