LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- They promise to entice the senses with a "hint of cinnamon-ginger spice" and a "refreshingly zesty lemon creme filling," but some batches of Lemon Chalet Creme Girl Scout cookies didn't quite turn out that way.A Kentucky bakery that makes the cookies pulled some batches Thursday after about a dozen people complained of a foul smell and taste.Little Brownie Bakers in Louisville, one of two bakeries in the U.S. that makes Girl Scout cookies, said Friday no one has gotten sick from the stinky, bad-tasting cookies sold in 24 states, and they are safe to eat.The problem is caused by a breakdown of oils in the cookies, the bakery said on its Web site.The cookies were distributed in Alabama, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia."We undertook a thorough investigation and determined that while the cookies are safe for customers to eat, they are not up to our quality standards," bakery spokeswoman Susanne Norwitz said in an e-mail.Phew. That was close. I don't know what I would have done if I found out my cookies were contaminated. Would have been a fucking disaster in my eyes. A state of emergency, if you will. I might start a petition to get Girl Scout cookie delivery day recognized as a national holiday. Like Christopher Columbus gets his own day and he wasn't even American. The motherfucker came here on accident! Let's celebrate the raping and murdering of indians. It's amazing. Girl Scout cookies might be the only thing that's still right about this country.
