Girl Scouts Dealing With Stale Cookie Complaints

e-mail print friendly

Raleigh, N.C. — Girl Scouts across the Southeast are dealing with complaints over stale cookies.

About 10 percent of the Peanut Butter Sandwiches and the Peanut Butter Patties in an out-of-state warehouse were exposed to moisture, causing the cookies to become stale.

The North Carolina Coastal Pines Council temporarily stopped distribution of those cookie varieties, but they have resumed baking fresh batches.

Unhappy customers can get reimbursed with fresh cookies by calling the consumer hot-line at 1-800-221-1002.

dataclerk, I'm confused. Since you obviously have no problem with saying No (and I'm not implying that you should feel pressured to buy things you don't want) why do you care if people are selling them?

I agree with you totally, parents should stop bringing cookies and anything else from their kids school to sell on their jobs. When they come to me I just simply say: I am not interested, or I don't eat that etc. :)

This is nothing new. Girl scouts cookies changed around the 70's. Since that time and today, I do not buy them because the cookies are not the same. They do not even sell the vanilla cookies with cream anymore. That's when I decided not to buy anymore. I want a cookie, I go to the bakery or the grocery store.

anyone looking for cookies should come up to NC State. They're all over the place. They're even making up cheers for the cookies. I got a box of those great new Lemonades. NOM!

and i love thin mints in the freezer :)

Girl Scout Cookies are baked through more than one company. Depending on the area you live in depends on the company. As for the names, it also depends on the company. So here in the Greensboro area we have different cookies than those in other area. Each council choose the cookies they want and company. It's a girl right to change her mind.
