Just as you read: you can now drink Girl Scout cookies! The Little Brownie Bakers (LBB) have teamed up with Nestle's Nesquik for a new variety of drinks of Girl Scout cookies' most famous flavors: Thin Mint and Caramel Coconut, available for a limited time for Cookie Monster types across America!
The new drink of Girl Scout cookies has caused uproar in social media, when it was announced that they would be released. The drink based on Girl Scout cookies is, of course, the kind of chocolate milk drink that consumers are used to have from the staple Nesquik bunny, who has been busy telling the world just how awesome this new drink is, according to The Huffington Post.
One warning is clear regarding the drinkable Girl Scout cookies: their sugar level is ridiculously high. A single serving of the chocolate/cookie milk contains 24 grams of sugar. In all, the nutritional breakdown of the drinkable Girl Scouts cookies is this: 300 calores, 5 grams of fat, 48 grams of sugar and 16 grams of protein.
That's for the entire container, which amounts to a total of two servings.
Because of this fact, the new drink of Girl Scouts cookies has been under scrutiny, as obesity crusaders have opposed to the new drink upfront. Environmentalist Laurie David, for example, said recently in an interview that the drinkable cookies were "immoral," according to Newsbusters.Org.
"[T]he drink itself has forty-eight grams of sugar in it," said David "That's twelve teaspoons of sugar. That is more than a child should have in four days. This is their on-the-go drink. But the thing that is really driving me crazy about it is that they stamped the little bottle with the Girl Scout logo, and that's not right, it's immoral to do that."
Whether good or bad, the fact is that the drink of Girls Scouts cookies are a thing now - at least, for a limited time.
