The Girl Scouts are discontinuing a cult-favorite cookie

The Girl Scouts are discontinuing a popular cookie just a year after its debut sparked a frenzy.

Raspberry Rally won’t be sold this upcoming cookie-sales season, which runs January to April 2024, Girl Scouts of the USA has announced. The Rallies was introduced last year as a “sister” cookie to the iconic Thin Mints, a crisp mint-flavored cookie encased in chocolate, but in the Raspberry Rally, the cookie was replaced with a bright pink berry-flavored one. It was dipped in the same chocolate coating as its sibling.

The Rallies were the Girl Scouts’ first-ever cookie to be exclusively sold online, a strategy aimed at “enhancing girls’ e-commerce sales and entrepreneurial skills,” the organization announced last year.

But demand created an online shopping spree with some chapters reporting they sold out of the $5 boxes in less than a day. Resellers offered the Rallies on eBay for as much as $30 per box. The organization didn’t disclose how many boxes they produced.

“While Raspberry Rally was extremely popular last year, we are taking a pause this season to prioritize supplying our classic varieties,” the Girl Scouts of the USA said in a statement to CNN.

An explanation sent from the Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson to troop parents said the price hike was to “combat rising production and material costs.”

Consumers have been tightening their wallets when it comes to discretionary items, and some may balk at the higher prices.

Stopped eating this processed, sugar crap when they became woke like the Boy Scouts.

I try to not knowingly support organizations that are pro-LGBT and pro Planned Parenthood. But that’s just me ...

I was surprised at the high price last year - and now they’ve gone up even more.

Not my favorite cookies but I always buy them to support the Girl Scouts.

Will have to re-think everything this year.

Sheesh…nothing “enhances girls’ e-commerce sales and entrepreneurial skills” quite like stopping selling your most popular product.

The price of cookies at the supermarket usually drops a little during Girl Scout cookie season.

The Girl Scouts organization is a pro abortion indoctrinator of young girls. Decent people should never buy their cookies.

They became woke long before Boy Scouts. American Heritage Girls was founded 20 years ago when Girl Scouts became an arm of planned parenthood over 20 years ago.

BSA got woke about 11 years ago. Trail Life USA is the best option for boys.

The raspberry rally was never available around here. Sold out online too.

No more GS cookies and their new inflated price tag $6.00 per box. Walmart and Keebler make the same fav cookie versions, which are fresher, tastier, and much less expensive.

Me, too. Not only that, every time I got near one of their sale tables....I told them...when you stop supporting the killing of babies, I’ll buy your cookies again.

The Girl Scouts are an example of one of the left most effective tactics. The head of NOW got herself as head of the organization. Once there she used the position to change it from a Christian based organization to a tool for radical feminism. This was many years ago and the nation killing tactic has been used countless times since.

My daughter was in GS until we found out she had a “woke” leader. I saw an Obama sticker on her car and we pulled her out. Years ago.

That is the dumbest strategy ever. Who quits selling their biggest selling cookie. That’s a strange decision.

I believe they became woke long before the Boy Scouts with their embrace of sponsorship and funding from planned Parenthood, which I believe was decades ago.

But your point is correct, though MayflowerMadam said it to the same point, IMO.
