WINSTON-SALEM -- It's officially Girl Scout cookie season, but this year, complaints have surfaced about one variety being damaged, reported WXII-TV in Greensboro, N.C.Girl Scout representatives said last week's storms in Tennessee caused water damage at one of the bakeries' storage facilities, affecting the peanut butter sandwich cookies, known as Do-Si-Dos."People have opened up the cookie and expected a nice crunch from the oatmeal cookie part of it, but instead, it's soft and they think it's stale," Tarheel Triad Girl Scout representative Lynn Burnette said."(The building) had roof damage, and therefore leakage," Burnette said. "Some moisture got into some of them -- maybe 10 percent of them."
Girl Scout representatives said they've closed the storage facility in Tennessee."It's really the storage people's fault, or God, if you want to put it that way, because it was the weather," Burnette said.Representatives said the soft cookies pose no danger and are offering refunds to anyone who comes across a tainted box.If you find a damaged box, call 800-221-1002.
