Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos turned a simple conversation about Girl Scout cookies into one of the funniest moments on Wednesday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark. What started as a light discussion about a familiar snack quickly became a spirited debate, proving that even the most harmless topics can bring out strong opinions when favorite treats are involved.
The couple were reacting to the news that Girl Scouts will be discontinuing two cookie flavors after the 2025 cookie season: Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay. While the announcement may not have seemed dramatic at first, it immediately caught Mark’s attention. As Kelly began sharing the update with viewers, he looked genuinely alarmed, clearly worried that one of his personal favorites might be on the chopping block.
Before Kelly could get too far into the story, Mark interrupted with a warning that made the studio laugh. “No, no! Do not — if it’s the Samoa, I’m going to walk off set right now,” he told her, making it clear that his loyalty to the caramel, coconut, and chocolate cookie was not up for debate.
Luckily for Mark, Samoa fans have nothing to fear. His beloved cookie is staying on the menu, so there was no need for him to abandon the set. But the conversation took another funny turn when Kelly admitted she was surprised by the flavors being discontinued, saying she was not even familiar with them. Her reaction suggested that Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay, despite having devoted fans, had somehow never made a major impression on her.
Mark then brought up another classic flavor, asking, “Thin Mints?” That was when Kelly made the confession that truly shocked the audience: “I don’t like Thin Mints.”
The studio immediately reacted, and not in her favor. Audience members began to boo, clearly unimpressed by her rejection of one of the most iconic Girl Scout cookie flavors. Kelly’s opinion may have been honest, but it was definitely not popular in the room. Mark, meanwhile, seemed amused by the backlash, as the couple’s cookie debate turned into another playful example of their on-air chemistry.
The exchange worked so well because it was casual, funny, and completely relatable. Almost everyone has a strong opinion about Girl Scout cookies, whether they are loyal to Samoas, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Trefoils, or another favorite box. For Kelly and Mark, what could have been a quick news item became a lively back-and-forth filled with mock outrage, audience reaction, and the kind of unscripted humor that makes live television feel spontaneous.
In the end, the discontinued flavors may have been the official topic, but Kelly’s Thin Mints confession stole the moment. Mark got to keep his Samoas, the audience got a reason to boo in good fun, and Live with Kelly and Mark turned cookie news into a surprisingly entertaining debate.
