Kelly Ripa Gets Booed by “Live with Kelly and Mark” Audience When She Admits She Doesn't Like Thin Mints

"I don’t like them, there I said it!" the co-host declared of the popular cookie flavor

Kelly Ripa is speaking her truth! 

The television co-host, 54, revealed her least favorite Girl Scout cookie during an episode of Live with Kelly and Mark on Wednesday, Jan. 8, and was met with booing from the audience. Her co-host and husband Mark Consuelos, 53, encouraged the disdain from the crowd as he was also taken aback by her answer. 

The news comes after Girls Scouts announced on Tuesday, Jan. 7 that they are discontinuing two popular flavors, Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay!, after the 2025 cookie season.

"I guess Girl Scouts are retiring two fan-favorite cookie flavors," Ripa said on the broadcast, to which Consuelos replied, "No, no! Do not — if it’s the Samoa, I’m going to walk off set right now."

To his luck, the delicious coconut-caramel cookies are safe. "It’s not," the All My Children alum said, before commenting on why the two flavors are being discontinued. "I’m going to say, these are two flavors — I know they’re calling them fan-favorites, but I’ve never heard of these cookies. So I suspect these fan-favorites that I’ve never heard of maybe are being retired for the very same reason."

She continued, "And you tell me if you know these flavors. I’m like, ‘Did they just invent them? Where have I been?’ But again… at a certain point, my kids are grown so my kids’ friends who I used to buy Girl Scout cookies from are also grown. Now I am reliant on whoever has young kids here. They are the ones who bring in the Girl Scout cookies and they are my suppliers."

"Do you understand what I’m saying? I’m at the mercy of what flavors they like. So here are the cookies that are going bye-bye. The s’mores. Were you familiar with that?" Ripa said, directing the question to the audience, who appeared to recognize the flavor. 

"Okay, I did not know," she added. "I was like, ’S’mores, I make those? I didn’t know they were a Girl Scout cookie flavor. It’s not one we bought.' "

Consuelos chimed in, calling the s'mores flavor combination "overrated."

"Okay, and have you heard of the Toast-Yay?" She continued, receiving confusion from Consuelos and the audience. 

"Well it’s a fan-favorite and it’s going bye bye," Ripa said. "Now’s the time to get them. It made its debut in 2017. This sounds delicious to me. 'Tiny French toast treats.' I would pour that in a bowl and put milk over that."

The two continued to comment on Girl Scout cookies with Ripa revealing that she just learned the beloved treat can be purchased online – "It’s like marijuana, you can get it anywhere now!" – and Consuelos sharing his request for Samoas. 

"Yeah, I’ll get you some Samoas," Ripa told him. "I’ll get some Peanut Butter Tagalongs and I’ll get, um, I’m going to get the…"

"Thin Mints?" Consuelos asked in an attempt to complete her sentence.

"I don’t like Thin Mints," she replied to dissatisfaction from the audience, who began booing. 

"I don’t like them, there I said it! I don’t like—" Ripa began to argue, before the Riverdale alum told the crowd, "Boo her!"

"You shut up!" Ripa jokingly declared to the audience before getting up and pretending to throw a crumpled piece of paper. 

"Wow, you got booed!" Consuelos said. 

Ripa continued to insult the hit cookie flavor by attacking its followers. "You know what, you're a bunch of pot heads down there!" she said. "This whole section! Wave to your families, pot heads! The pot heads like the Thin Mints. No surprise there. They dip them in peanut butter at home!"

The crowd laughed as Ripa questioned, "How did Girl Scout Cookies become so violent?"

At the launch of this year’s Girl Scout season this week, PEOPLE reported that there will be no new flavors introduced. However, classics like Thin Mints, Samoas (or Caramel deLites), Tagalongs (or Peanut Butter Patties) and others are on sale.

"We’re so excited to kick off Girl Scout Cookie Season — the largest girl-led entrepreneurship program in the world," Wendy Lou, GSUSA’s chief revenue officer, said in a statement. "The beloved tradition is an opportunity for girls to build important life skills like goal-setting, money management, teamwork, and decision-making. Every cookie box sold helps a girl take the next step toward becoming a confident leader and sales from cookie season help power exciting opportunities for girls and their troops throughout the year.”

Girl Scout Cookie season runs from January through April.
