Staffers try, review girl scout cookies
Vaani’s vote

Caramel DeLites, formerly known as Samoas, are a classic cookie made for coconut lovers. Flavors of caramel, chocolate
and coconut melt in your mouth, as the soft texture gives way to small bites. Caramel DeLites are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Exploremores are the newest edition to the Girl Scout Cookie line-up, and frankly, they were disappointing. The cookie was stale and the filling was lacking. Exploremores were supposed to have notes of chocolate, almond and Rocky-Road, but ultimately, I couldn’t distinctly taste anything. Don’t waste your money.

Roy’s review

Peanut Butter Sandwiches: I weep for the peanut-allergic among us. While many would be quick to say that Peanut Butter Sandwiches are simply bland Nutter-Butters, it is precisely the cookie’s uncloying nature that makes it edible and even enjoyable in large quantities. My only complaint would be that the cookie tastes more of peanuts than of peanut butter, although that’s hardly a dealbreaker. As a devout acolyte of Rocky Road ice cream, I hereby decree that Exploremores should be considered sacrilege.
Bearing little to no resemblance to the ice cream in flavor, Exploremores leave an off-putting aftertaste, with a stale texture — neither crunchy nor soft. Perhaps it was a bad box, but either way, I’m done exploring.

Ellen’s evaluation

Through the variety of cookie flavors that we tried, a few stood out, both those enjoyable and those unimpressive.

On the other hand, the notorious classic Thin Mints have a familiar and nostalgic taste, but one you could never get sick of. The thin and crispy chocolate cookie is rich and smooth with a perfect balance of sweetness and harmonious essence of peppermint leaving you reaching for more.

The most disappointing cookies were the Lemonades. With a dry and crumbly shortbread cookie and a subpar, artificial lemon outer layer, one bite requires three sips of water to wash it all down.
