Girl Scout cookies season is upon us, and we are all better for it. Well, most of us are. A gaggle of Burlingame Girl Scouts were injured earlier this month after a truck plowed into them while hawking cookies. And this North Carolina scout who got busted for successfully promoting her goods on YouTube. (The Girl Scouts have a ban on Internet sales in order to protect the girls' safety.)
We will try writing this through our tears of joy. See, Kellogg's, according to Serious Eats, is saving Mother's Cookies from being a delicious memory of the past. Oakland-based Mother's Cookies, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October, called it quits, leaving many cookie fans crestfallen. But with Kellogg's announcing it "would acquire trademarks and recipes to the famous Circus Animal cookies, as well as the sandwich cookies and wire-cut cookies," there is much to rejoice about on this most holiest of days. Praise God, indeed.
The Girl Scouts were out in full force today hawking their partially hydrogenated oily sweetness. Little bitches in green were relentless around city sidewalks this afternoon, and for that we love them. Who knew it was cookie season? We didn't. And at the end of the day we ended up with four boxes of Samoas.
