What Girl Scout cookies were available in 1965?

Unfortunately, there's no definitive record of all the Girl Scout cookies available in 1965. However, we can piece together a good picture based on the timeline of popular cookies:

* Definitely available:

* Thin Mints: These were introduced in 1957 and have been a mainstay ever since.

* Shortbread (Trefoils): Also introduced in 1957, they've been a staple for decades.

* Samoas (Caramel deLites): These were originally called "Samoas" and were introduced in 1975, so they wouldn't have been around in 1965.

* Possibly available:

* Do-si-dos (Peanut Butter Sandwiches): These were introduced in 1984, but it's possible a similar cookie might have existed in 1965.

* Tagalongs (Peanut Butter Patties): These were introduced in 1987, but again, a similar cookie might have been available earlier.

Other cookies in the 1960s:

* Lemonades: These cookies, known for their lemon flavor and sugary icing, were popular in the 1960s, but they were discontinued in 1973.

* "Toast-ees": This cookie, featuring a crispy texture and a thin layer of icing, was introduced in 1958 and discontinued sometime in the 1970s.

* "Cookies: While not a specific cookie, in the early days, Girl Scouts might have sold other cookies like chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin.
