What began as a simple segment about Girl Scout cookies quickly turned into one of the funniest exchanges on Wednesday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark.
The hosts were discussing the announcement that two Girl Scout cookie varieties—Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay—will be retired after the 2025 cookie season. While the news might not have seemed particularly dramatic, it immediately grabbed Mark Consuelos’ attention.
As Kelly Ripa started explaining which flavors were being discontinued, Mark looked genuinely concerned.
Before she could finish, he jumped in with a warning that instantly got laughs from the audience.
“No, no! If it’s the Samoa, I’m walking off the set right now,” he joked, making it very clear where his cookie loyalty lies.
Fortunately for him, Samoa lovers can relax. The popular caramel, coconut, and chocolate cookie isn’t going anywhere, meaning Mark’s dramatic exit was no longer necessary.
The conversation only became funnier from there.
Kelly admitted she was surprised by the announcement because she wasn’t particularly familiar with either of the retiring flavors. Despite having their own fan base, Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay apparently never earned a permanent spot on her snack radar.
That led Mark to bring up another legendary cookie.
“Thin Mints?” he asked.
Kelly’s response stunned both Mark and the studio audience.
“I don’t like Thin Mints.”
The reaction was immediate.
Audience members erupted with playful boos, clearly shocked that anyone would reject one of the most iconic Girl Scout cookies ever created. Kelly stood by her opinion, but it was obvious she had just entered dangerous territory.
Mark, meanwhile, seemed thoroughly entertained by the crowd’s response as the cookie conversation evolved into a full-blown debate.
The moment resonated because it felt so relatable. Few snacks inspire stronger opinions than Girl Scout cookies. Whether someone swears by Samoas, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Trefoils, or another favorite variety, most people have a box they’ll passionately defend.
What could have been a quick news update became a lively and unscripted exchange filled with humor, audience participation, and the playful chemistry Kelly and Mark are known for.
In the end, the retiring cookie flavors may have sparked the conversation, but Kelly’s surprising dislike of Thin Mints ended up stealing the spotlight.
Mark got confirmation that his beloved Samoas are safe, the audience had a chance to voice their disagreement, and Live with Kelly and Mark turned a simple cookie announcement into one of the day’s most entertaining moments.
