It's just about Girl Scout Cookie season again, and as always we'll have a list about how to procure the treats in New York City (after all, not all Girl Scouts are evil... probably). But first, a big announcement: there's a NEW COOKIE this year.
To celebrate their 100th anniversary, they're introducing the Savannah Smiles cookie, named for the hometown of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon. They don't look like much, but their description doesn't sound half bad—they're a bite-sized, lemon wedge with a fine powdered sugar dusting.
Not that we don't appreciate it, but do we really need another lemon cookie? And why don't the Girl Scouts have any chocolate-based cookies?
