Why do some cookies look the same but have different names? Each Girl Scout council contracts with one of two licensed bakers, whose recipes and ingredients may differ slightly: ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers. That’s why some of our cookies look the same but have two different names.
In this regard, what were the original Girl Scout cookie names?
In 1951, there were three Girl Scout cookie flavors being sold: Chocolate Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich and Shortbreads. Those cookies are now commonly known as Thin Mints, Do-si-dos and Trefoils.
Correspondingly, do Girl Scout Cookies have different names in different states?
Whether you’re a proud member of Team Tagalong, the Samoa Squad, there’s something you should know: the types of Girl Scout Cookies you enjoy, and their names, are not the same from state to state. Yes, your beloved Thin Mints are not the same.
What were Tagalongs before?
Carrie Stetler from the Star Ledger complains: “I’m outraged–yes, outraged–that Girl Scout Cookies have new names. Samoas are now “Caramel deLites.” Do-si-dos are “Peanut Butter Sandwiches.” Tagalongs are “Peanut Butter Cookies” and Trefoils are “Shortbreads.”
Is it caramel DeLites or Samoas?
Samoa cookies aren’t technically the same as Caramel DeLites, but they are essentially the same cookie. Think of fraternal twins that look very much alike, but aren’t genetically identical. This is because the Girl Scouts of America have two different bakeries they work with to make their cookies.
What did Savannah Smiles used to be called?
Did thin mints used to be white inside?

Why did they discontinue Savannah Smiles?

Why are they called Trefoils?
The word trefoil comes from the Latin trifolium, “three leaf.” For the Girl Scouts, the three leaves stand for a three-fold promise: “to serve God and my country, to help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout law.” That’s one wholesome cookie.
What are Girl Scout Cookies called Tagalongs?
Tagalongs are crispy vanilla cookies layered with peanut butter and covered with a chocolate coating. In some regions, they are called Peanut Butter Patties.
