Thankfully for Mark, the Samoas are not going anywhere. However, the segment took another unexpected turn when Kelly admitted she had never even heard of the S’mores or Toast-Yay cookies. Her confession surprised both her husband and the audience, opening the door to a broader conversation about personal cookie preferences—and eventually placing her at odds with the crowd.
Trying to steer the conversation toward common ground, Mark brought up the “Thin Mint,” arguably the most iconic and best-selling cookie in the lineup. Kelly’s response was immediate and bold: she declared that she doesn’t like Thin Mints. The studio audience reacted instantly, playfully booing her in disbelief. On live television, dismissing such a beloved staple felt almost rebellious, and the spontaneous audience reaction added an unscripted spark of excitement that elevated the entire segment.
Beyond the humor, the retirement of the S’mores and Toast-Yay cookies highlights broader marketing and production strategies within Girl Scouts of the USA. The organization routinely rotates limited-edition flavors to streamline production and maintain excitement around the brand. While some fans may miss these newer options, the shift ensures that core favorites—such as the Samoa, Tagalong, and Thin Mint—remain widely available to meet seasonal demand.
