The latest Girl Scout cookie to be pushed by that adorable gang of girls contains mushrooms. It seems as though America's sweethearts are trying to expand their market by catering to more refined palettes.
The cookies are called Mango Crèmes, and they're meant to be mindful of health as they contain nutrients from fruits. Unless it is a humorous prank or typo, the cookies also include shiitake mushrooms. What can be found even more humorous is the fact that the cookies don't contain any mango.
