Beginning this month, Girl Scout Cookie fans can enjoy Yoplait yogurt with new
flavors inspired by their favorite cookies. Flavors include: Yoplait Whips! Girl
Scouts Thin Mints, Yoplait Whips! Girl Scouts Peanut Butter Chocolate, and
Yoplait Original Girl Scouts Caramel Coconut. General Mills is proud to work
with Girls Scouts of the USA, whose mission is to build girls' courage,
confidence and character and whose annual cookie program teaches business and
life skills to the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
"For those who wish they had more ways to enjoy their favorite chocolate
mint, peanut butter chocolate, and caramel coconut flavors, we have three
delicious, new yogurts inspired by America's most popular Girl Scout Cookie
flavors," said Doug Martin, Business Unit Director, Yoplait. "Girl
Scouts of the USA does extraordinary things for girls like teaching them
valuable life and business skills through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, which
is why we are honored to work with the organization."
The three new yogurts will be available at retailers nationwide, and will start
appearing on store shelves in December. The new line is a permanent, year-round
addition to Yoplait's portfolio.
The new flavors do not contain high fructose corn syrup, are made with live and
active cultures, and are gluten free. The Yoplait Whips! Girl Scouts Thin Mints
and Yoplait Whips! Girl Scouts Peanut Butter Chocolate flavors will each be
available in 4-ounce cups, and the Yoplait Original Girl Scouts Caramel Coconut
flavor will be available in 6-ounce cups.
"Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is excited about its relationship with
Yoplait to create yogurts inspired by three of the beloved Girl Scout Cookie
flavors," said Barry Horowitz, GSUSA Chief Revenue Officer. "Beyond
the delicious flavor, the yogurts will also remind consumers everywhere of the
power of Girl Scout Cookies. The cookie program is the largest entrepreneurial
training program for girls in the world, and we are pleased Yoplait is working
with us to share the message about the program and the impact of Girl Scouts
with even more families in America."
The Girl Scout Cookie Program powers amazing experiences for girls, unleashing
the confidence they need to practice a lifetime of leadership. In addition,
each and every purchase of Girl Scout Cookies--100 percent of the net revenue
of which stays local--is an investment in girls and their leadership
capabilities, both now and in the future.
General Mills is producing these new flavors under a license from Girl Scouts
of the USA. Visit www.girlscoutcookies.org for more information on the Girl
