Why do American girl guides have so many more
Cookie flavours than Canadian girl guides? As far as I know we only have the chocolate/vanilla and the chocolate mint here in Canada

As an ex-Girl Guide and self-reformed pole dancer myself with a host of credible references to my credit, I can tell you first hand that I scored a cookie factory tour for my Girl Guide troupe after writing a letter 20 years ago to the President of Dare Cookies, which is a Canadian-owned cookie company and requested that same information you now ask about!
Here's what we all learned that day as we showed up at the factory on a school bus in our Girl Guide uniforms in Kitchener Ontario Canada:
The reason Canadian Girl Guide cookies are different than American Girl Guide cookies, is because of the Patented cookie content and the Patented design of the cookie itself on ALL Canadian Girl Guide cookies, which are only available in Canada and are not available for export to the USA.
The Canadian Girl Guide cookies actually have Girl Guides Canada embossed on the surface of each cookie, which is an International Patented design idea, whereas American Girl Guide cookies are generic in appearance and content and bare no reference at all to Girl Guides USA.
The Canadian Girl Guide cookies are made from pure, natural ingredients and contain NO preservatives at all, which means they have a 90 day shelf life, as opposed to generic American Girl Guide cookies which do not contain pure, natural ingredients but do contain enough preservative to give each box a 5 year 'best before' date on each package, similar to that of maraschino cherries.
Canadian Girl Guide cookies only come in two flavors, plain which is available from March until June each year and mint flavored which is only available between October and December each year, both flavors marking the time of year they were made for, to better identify old stock and have it removed.
Canadian Girl Guide cookies are provided to Girl Guides Canada FREE of charge by Dare Cookies of Cambridge Ontario each year and always have been free. This is done in support of Girl Guides Canada for them to make more money when selling those cookies expense-free, because they have no overhead expenses to cover first.
American Girl Guide cookies are made by the lowest bidding cookie manufacturing competitor in the USA who will supply those generic cookies, which means they take whatever flavor is available at the time, hence the perceived choice of variable flavors compared to Canada.
This also means Girl Guides USA has to first purchase those cookies with a contract before receiving them from their cookie manufacture, which also means their organization must incur high overhead expense before the first box of Girl Guide cookies is actually sold in the USA, thereby exemplifying America's version of cut-throat Capitalism at it's finest.
