Popular Girl Scout flavor cookie is discontinued and fans desperately want it back

GIRL Scout Cookie has discontinued a popular flavor that fans desperately want back.

The refreshing option was once named after the Girl Scouts’ hometown of Savannah, Georgia.

The Savannah Smile flavor of Girl Scout Cookie has been discontinued since 2019 and fans are still mourning its deliciousness.

These smile-shaped cookies were made with a crisp, zesty lemon wedge base and covered in powdered sugar.

The flavor was a re-take on an old favorite - Lemon Cooler

Sold between 2003 and 2006, these cookies had been a hit favorite of the brand’s “low calorie” range.

Girl Scouts confirmed to The Huffington Post in 2012 that Lemon Cooler and Savannah Smile were “based on the same concept cookie and essentially taste the same.”

Now, fans want to see Savannah Smile reintroduced to the lineup of what is currently 13 Girl Scouts Cookie options.

A petition on Change.org has received over 3,500 signatures.

Meanwhile, one user recently posted on Twitter: “I will not rest until they bring back Savannah Smiles.”

Another wrote: “I don’t know why I am suddenly craving those lemon Girl Scout Cookies.”

A third claimed they would “die for some Savannah Smiles.”

Girl Scouts did not tell The U.S. Sun about any plans to reintroduce Savannah Smiles, but pointed to two other lemon flavors currently available - Lemonades and Lemon-Ups.

Meanwhile, similar flavors are sold by brands such as Oreo and Maddy’s Sweet Shop.

NEW FLAVOR

Girl Scout Cookie fans also went wild over a new limited edition flavor that was introduced this year.

Raspberry Rally, featuring crispy cookies dipped in a chocolatey coating, sold out in less than a week.

Boxes of the new cookies then began appearing on resell sites for as much as $100.

But Girl Scouts is not happy about this.

Money raised from cookie sales helps Girl Scouts fund activities throughout the year.

Troupes also use the funds for philanthropic purposes, donating money to homeless organizations and community events.

“It definitely goes against everything that we stand for as Girl Scouts,” product program director Jessica Martin said of the resales in an interview with WNEP.

“It’s taking away that opportunity from a girl, for them to learn and practice their business skills.”

Girl Scout Cookies are sold between January and April each year.
