Girl Scouts of the USA is rolling out a new cookie flavor next year, hoping to sweeten sales after a rocky stretch marked by higher prices, plunging demand and nearly $3 million in operating losses."Exploremores," a rocky road ice creaminspired sandwich cookie, are slated to debut online and at booths run by local troops in January, the start of the 2026 Girl Scout cookie season, which typically runs through April.The new treat layers chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almondflavored crme, according to a release from the Girl Scouts.GIRL SCOUTS SAY TWO COOKIE FLAVORS WILL BE RETIRED AFTER 2025"Exploremores reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout," the organization said.The news comes just months after the organization said it would be discontinuing two fan favorites S'mores and Toast-Yay! at the end of this cookie season. Thin Mints, Samoas and other classics will remain on the menu, though the full 2026 lineup has not been released.S'mores, introduced in 2017, were billed as "crunchy graham sandwich cookies with chocolate and marshmallow filling" while Toast-Yay!, added in 2021, delivered "French toast flavor" with an icing dip.The Exploremores have already stirred debate online.GAS STATION SPIN ON CLASSIC ITALIAN DESSERT GOES VIRAL: 'ROAD TRIP LUXURY'The Girl Scouts announced the new flavor on social media, where some fans expressed disappointment that the cookies contain allergens.Despite the almond-inspired crme, the cookies do not actually contain almonds but do include peanut flour, wheat and whey, a milk byproduct."Milk and peanuts?" one woman commented on Instagram. "Bummer.""We need more options for the growing number of scouts with food allergies," another said. "My daughter is [going to] be so upset she can't try these [because] of her celiac.""Looks delicious, but the name is a mouthful for the girls," another person noted.VIRAL TIKTOK 'COOKIE CHALLENGE' TESTS FAMILY EMPATHY, INSTINCT, ETHICSCritics urged the Girl Scouts to bake up more allergy-friendly, non-chocolate or sugar-free options.Others, however, say they're excited about the new cookie."I did not have high hopes for the new cookie, but this looks incredible!" one person said on Facebook."This sounds delicious," another woman commented.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"I'm excited to try them," said another person. "Thank you for making new cookies. They always help sales for the girls."The new flavor comes after a rough 2024-25 season in New York, where the Girl Scouts of Greater New York sold just 1.1 million boxes, down from 1.2 million the year before and less than half the 2.2 million sold during the pandemic, the New York Post reported in May.VIRAL COSTCO COOKIE BLENDS CHILDHOOD FAVORITES INTO ONE: 'OUT OF THIS WORLD'Sales nationwide have also felt the pinch as cookie prices rose to $6 and $7 a box in many areas, up from $4 and $5 a decade ago, according to the report.Earlier this year, a report from Moms Across America claimed Girl Scout cookies contained traces of toxic metals and glyphosate, sparking headlines and a mention on Joe Rogan's podcast.The Girl Scouts pushed back, stressing that its cookies are safe, meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards and that small amounts of contaminants can occur naturally in soil and crops, as Fox News Digital previously reported.MORE FROM FOX NEWS LIFESTYLEAll proceeds from cookie sales stay with local Girl Scout councils and troops to help fund learning, programming and experiences for members year-round.Membership, however, has also declined sharply since the pandemic, by as much as 34% in some councils, according to reports.The 113-year-old nonprofit posted a $2.9 million operating loss in 2024, according to its most recent audited financials, and plans to raise membership dues by 160% over the next few years from $25 to $45 in 2026 and $65 in 2027, down from an earlier proposed $85, according to reports.Fox News Digital reached out to Girl Scouts of the USA for comment.

The horror that unfolded at Utah Valley University is still hard to process. A few minutes into a joyous meeting before thousands of people, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was gunned down in cold blood.As they triedto make sense of this senseless murder, the broadcast networks roughly suggested that Kirk was shot because he was "polarizing." ABC correspondent Kyra Phillips explained that Kirk was "known for his outspoken views on politics, culture, religion, often taking his messages to colleges and universities, sparking sometimes pretty heated debates on campus."Reporter Aaron Katersky added, "there were people on both sides debating whether he should even be allowed to bring his message, often loyal to the agenda of President Trump, to campus." White House reporter Mary Bruce doubled down: "It's no secret that Kirk has said a number of controversial things over the years, in particular about DEI, Jews, women, LGBTQ community, people of color."CHARLIE KIRK WARNED ASSASSINATION CULTURE IS SPREADING ON THE LEFT IN EERIE ONLINE POST MONTHS BEFORE MURDERAs Kirk was bleeding out, ABC News was suggesting this was how "pretty heated debates" ended on campus, and that maybe it wouldnt have happened if Kirks "controversial" appearance hadnt been "allowed."Leftists surely found Kirks conservative arguments "polarizing" "divisive," and "controversial." But they seem to lack any introspection inside the liberal bubbles of their "news" networks. Spreading their leftist arguments on DEI or LGBTQ or abortion or Trumpoften implying that dissent is unacceptably hateful somehow never polarizes people and is somehow the opposite of controversy. How can their sweet reason be "controversial?"By the time the Wednesday evening newscasts came on, there was an appropriate tone of horror at the shooting. But on Thursday, "CBS Mornings" co-host Nate Burleson told former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that Kirks speech was "offensive to specific communities" and asked if Republicans needed to watch their mouths. "Speaking of this tragedy, is this a moment for your party to reflect on political violence? Is it a moment for us to think about the responsibility of our political leaders and their voices and what it does to the masses as they get lost in misinformation or disinformation that turns into and spills into political violence?"ANTI-TRUMP VOICES PRAISE CHARLIE KIRK'S LEGACY AFTER ASSASSINATION, SAY HE WAS DOING POLITICS 'THE RIGHT WAY'McCarthy tried to stay on a unifying message, but Burlesons question was "offensive to specific communities," in this case the Trump-voting half of America. Everyone who agreed with Kirk on many issues felt like this could have been the violent fate of any conservative speaker out in public, especially on "progressive" campuses.Kirks alleged assassin was not a Republican. CBS didnt wonder if the shooter had been influenced by wild leftist rhetoric from any kind of media or political figure. The rhetoric of the Left is somehow always above scrutiny.The morning after the murder, NPR turned to Kyle Spencer, a leftist author of a 2022 book about "The Untold Story About America's Ultraconservative Youth Movement And Its Plot For Power." She claimed "Charlie really positioned himself as somebody who was supporting Whiteness, White people, White culture and the White culture of this country against what he saw as efforts that were efforts to create equity in the country and to support the disenfranchised."CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION"Public" broadcasting is deeply suffused with the "DEI ethic" that they must "center the marginalized," and so anyone who opposes the Black left should be marginalized as a far-right racist fringe. But they loved Black Lives Matter and their racial "reckoning" in 2020.CHARLIE KIRK MOURNED BY WORLD LEADERS AFTER SHOCKING UTAH ASSASSINATIONAs news bubbled up that there were political markings on the shooters ammunition, on Thursdays "World News Tonight" on ABC, they took the reports of "anti-fascist" and pro-transgender messaging and dumbed them down. Matt Gutman could only say law-enforcement sources found "a high-powered rifle wrapped in a towel, and three unspent cartridges inscribed with words and symbols. Tonight, authorities [are] working on what the markings might mean."On Friday, authorities revealed one shell casing read: "Hey fascist! Catch!" Another said "O bella ciao, bella ciao," which refers to a leftist song celebrating the end of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, but the left still uses it against the current conservative Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.The news networks have spent the last 10 years wildly using terms like "fascist" and "authoritarian" to describe not just President Donald Trump, but Republicans and conservatives in general. By contrast, the radical left "Antifa" movement has largely escaped any critical scrutiny and in recent years, the media have pretended that this is some sort of kooky invention of conspiracy theorists.When the network newscasts casually allow Democrats to compare Trump to Adolf Hitler and suggest he and his voters are an "existential threat" to democracy, they are the ones raising national tensions. Not conservatives.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM TIM GRAHAM

WASHINGTON, Utah The family of the suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination played an "almost unheard of" role in helping turn him in, an expert told Fox News Digital.Police say 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was identified and reported to authorities with the help of his own family a decision one expert described as extraordinary and profoundly difficult."Life is never going to be the same for them," Susan Constantine, a human behavior specialist, told Fox News Digital. "The fact that they stood up, did what was right, even as difficult as it was their own son, their own blood, to think that their own blood was capable of carrying out such a heinous act. It has got to be a weight that none of us could ever imagine on our shoulders."Constantine, who specializes in threat assessment and deception detection, said the family's actions reflect "a moral compass" and may even serve as a model for other families confronted with signs of radicalization.TIMELINE OF CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATIONDuring a Friday news conference, officials announced the arrest of Robinson, a Utah resident, as the suspect who they believe shot and killed Kirk at Utah Valley University on Wednesday while the Turning Point USA founder was speaking at an event on campus."A family member of Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident," Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said at the news conference."Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years. The family member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to September 10, and in that conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked about why they didn't like him and the viewpoints that he had."Sources told Fox News that Robinson's father played a role in his surrender.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRKPresident Donald Trump said on "Fox & Friends" on Friday morning that, "Somebody that was very close to him said, hmm, that's him. And essentially went to the father, went to a U.S. marshal who was fantastic, by the way, and the person was involved with law enforcement, but was a person of faith, a minister, and brought him to a U.S. Marshal who was fantastic and the father convinced the son, this is it."Constantine suggested the decision by Robinson's father likely came after serious deliberation.SCRUTINY INTENSIFIES OVER SECURITY LAPSES SURROUNDING THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTING"Either the dad called an attorney first or, more likely, he and another family member had a serious conversation and knew they had to act quickly," she said. "Its almost unheard of, but they did what was right and took someone, even though it was a son, that was unsafe to make the citizens in that community safer."Parents are now being held responsibleif they knew, if they had any idea, they had to come forward to protect themselves, too," she explained.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION: TIMELINE OF UTAH CAMPUS SHOOTING DETAILS ATTACK, MANHUNT FOR SUSPECTWith Robinson now in custody, investigators will dig into what might have motivated the suspect. The rifle that authorities believe was used in the assassination contained ammunition inscribed with antifascist messaging, sources confirmed to Fox News Digital."There are roots to this evil," Constantine warned. "And there are people that know where the roots of the evil are. Because it's those roots that are starting to spin and to indoctrinate and create all of this violent anger and hatred towards any sort of groups."They are using them as puppets to carry out the worst act in the entire world, which is to kill, steal and destroy perfectly good human beings that stand for good."Constantine also shared a personal account of her daughters brush with dangerous ideology to emphasize how quickly youth can be drawn in."As a mother, Ive seen it firsthand. My own daughter was recruited into a radical ideology. These kids dont always come from broken homes," she explained. "They come from great families and once they get their hooks into wherever they got it from, generally more from the social media, the social contagion, they can be radicalized very quickly."YOUTH LEADERS MOURN 'THE GODFATHER OF CAMPUS CONSERVATISM' CHARLIE KIRK FOLLOWING ASSASSINATIONAccording to Constantine, individuals often leave digital or verbal clues before committing violence. She cited her work with FBI consultants and language-analysis software known as "Decipher," which examines writings for patterns linked to violent offenders."They've analyzed the language of known serial killers, arsonists and mass murderers, and found that there was a consistent type of language found in them," she explained.She added that her research includes analyzing letters and manifestos, blogs and text messages, anything that could give authorities insight into whether a person was going to carry out a violent act."In other cases Ive worked, it was written all over the wall," she said.The key, she said, is training law enforcement and schools in pre-threat analysis. "We call it pre-bang spotting dangerous demeanor before violence erupts."Constantine expressed hope that the lessons from these horrific acts will push society to act earlier."This is what I hope that from all of these horrendous acts were seeing, we begin to implement what we call understanding dangerous demeanor, before they act out and do what Tyler did to us," she said.She added that the timing struck her personally. "I was literally in a meeting about this when I found out about Kirk. It was surreal."ANTI-TRUMP VOICES PRAISE CHARLIE KIRK'S LEGACY AFTER ASSASSINATION, SAY HE WAS DOING POLITICS 'THE RIGHT WAY'Now that Robinson is in custody, Constantine says investigators will focus on interviews and interrogations to uncover his motivations and potential connections."First of all, you start with the interview. You want to get him to open up and tell the story from beginning to end without interruption. And then, after assessment of what they gather, they more than likely will leave the room and decide whether they're going to move into an interrogation," she said."They'll say, 'So right now is your time to tell us, because if you don't, you're looking down the barrel to the death penalty.""The death penalty is on the table and somebody is going to be held accountable for it," Constantine said. "The fact he (Kirk) was killed in such a horrific manner, an assassination, I think it's going to be very hard-pressed that a judge would give him any leniency or any sort of mitigating circumstances around it."For Constantine, the case underscores a broader crisis of youth radicalization and grievance-based violence."It's so mind-numbing that we're here and that we have so many youth that are so confused and bitter and hateful and rising up, because we see a lot of this in this younger generation," she said. "We've got to figure out what's going wrong. We've got to fix it."As for Kirks legacy, she said he may be remembered not just as an influential political figure, but as a bridge builder."That's what I thought that Kirk did beautifully, was he was bringing everyone together and talking about truth," Constantine said.And that, she said, may be the most tragic part of all: "He wasnt doing anything wrong. He was the right person for the job. And he was the right voice to be able to speak truth into youth and to open up the dialogue and not to condemn them, but to bring them closer to Christ."Fox News Digital's Greg Norman, Ashley Oliver and Breanne Deppisch contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump closed the week mourning the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and honoring those who were lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.Kirk, 31, was assassinated during his "American Comeback Tour" at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. His death comes a year after two assassination attempts against Trump."To my fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah," Trump said in a video address to the nation on Wednesday, hours after announcing Kirks death.BASEBALL FANS PAY TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE KIRK AT YANKEES-TIGERS GAME"Charlie inspired millions and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror," Trump said. "Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice and the American people. Hes a martyr for truth and freedom, and theres never been anyone who was so respected by youth."Trump said in an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Friday that an arrest had been made in connection with Kirks assassination, and Utah officials confirmed the suspect as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson."I hope he's going to be found guilty, I would imagine. And I hope he gets the death penalty," Trump said Friday. "What he did, Charlie Kirk was the finest person, he didn't deserve this. He worked so hard and so well. Everybody liked him."'DARK MOMENT FOR AMERICA': TRUMP DECLARES CHARLIE KIRK'S VOICE 'BIGGER AND GRANDER' AFTER ASSASSINATIONTrump also commemorated the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks at the Pentagon and in New York City on Thursday.

The NFL released a statement on Friday addressing a recent tribute to Charlie Kirk ahead of its most recent game, and said teams will be left to make their own decisions about whether to follow suit this Sunday.Thursday night's game between the Green Bay Packers and Washington Commanders featured a moment of silence in honor of Kirk before kick-off."Last nights moment was the leagues decision. Its up to the clubs for this Sundays games," the league's statement read, per multiple reports.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe statement further addressed the context of the tribute, comparing it to other moments of silence following tragedies."There have been moments following school shootings or an attack on a house of worship such as the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. There also have been moments following major international incidents such as Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023 and weather-related incidents such as major hurricanes and fires," the statement continued."This is in addition to honoring those in the NFL family from tributes to recently passed players or personnel, or a player such as Damar Hamlin in 2023. The NFL also honored before Super Bowl LIV NBA star Kobe Bryant and the other victims of the helicopter crash (Gianna Bryant, Sarah and Payton Chester, Christina Mauser, Ara Zobayan) and also Pro Football Hall of Famer Chris Doleman who passed that week."The league made reference to sweeping changes to field and pre-game protocols following the death of George Floyd in 2020, and moments of silence following other tragedies in the past calendar year.TIMELINE OF CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION"Lift Every Voice and Sing has been performed at league events since 2020 following the murder of George Floyd and the events of the summer of 2020, including last Thursday during the Kickoff game in Philadelphia. It is also performed before the Super Bowl," the statement continued."This summer before the Hall of Fame game in Canton, the league honored the victims and those impacted by the attack at 345 Park Avenue. During Week 18 games last season, the NFL honored the victims of the Bourbon Street terrorist attack. Also, that season the NFL held a moment to recognize those lost in the deadly crashes near Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia and also prior to the Vikings-Rams Wild Card game that was moved from LA to Arizona due to the wildfires."At least one NFL team has already made it a point to fire an employee who made insensitive comments after Kirk's assassination.The Carolina Panthers fired Charlie Rock, a member of the teams communications department, after social media posts linked to Rock appeared to show him questioning why people were sad that Kirk had been shot and killed."The views expressed by our employees are their own and do not represent those of the Carolina Panthers," the team said in a statement posted to social media. "We do not condone violence of any kind. We are taking this matter very seriously and have accordingly addressed it with the individual."Elsewhere in American sports, the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs each held a moment of silence ahead of recent games to honor Kirk following the assassination on Wednesday. Meanwhile, MLB has instructed all teams to, at the very least, keep all American flags at half-staff throughout the weekend in honor of Kirk."MLB asked all of the Clubs to follow the direction of the White House Presidential Proclamation and fly flags at half-staff in their ballparks," an MLB spokesperson told Fox News Digital.The NHL, NBA and WNBA have made no official statements addressing Kirk's assassination.

Exercise is widely regarded as an essential component of health for older adults particularly strength training.Health agencies recommend that adults get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and at least two days of strength training exercises, which includes lifting weights or performing muscle-building activities.Marfred Suazo, known online as Fonz the Trainer, was a lifelong athletic competitor before he became a fitness trainer in New York City nearly 10 years ago.WHY SMALL FITNESS STEPS COULD LEAD TO A LONGER LIFE, ACCORDING TO DR. JEREMY LONDONIn training thousands of people of all ages, Suazo said he coaches older adults with an eye toward "decades of strength.""We have our fourth decade, which is crucial. As we turn 40, as we turn 50, 60, 70 and even 80, there are different requirements," he told Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview. (See the video at the top of the article.)"We're preventing ourselves from declining in our fitness journey and in our ability to do day-to-day things, like carrying groceries and walking up steps."Strength training should be the "main priority" for older adults, Suazo said, because skeletal muscle which he calls the "organ of longevity" begins to decline over time.TIKTOK'S VIRAL '6-6-6' WALKING ROUTINE BURNS FAT WITHOUT GRUELING WORKOUTS"Skeletal muscle is like our body armor," he said. "It prevents falls, it prevents hip breakage, it helps with all of these things."Preserving muscle is particularly important for aging women, Suazo noted, as it helps to prevent osteopenia and osteoporosis.When strength training, Suazo recommends that older adults focus on the following six core pillars of movement for functional fitness."You want to have all those pillars in order, and you want to structure your training in that fashion so you can target all of these areas," he said.VIRAL 12-3-30 TREADMILL TREND MAY BURN MORE FAT THAN RUNNING, RESEARCHERS SAYThis includes movements where the person pushes weight away from the body, typically working the chest, shoulder and triceps.Some common examples include push-ups, bench presses, chest presses and dips.With this type of movement, the weight is pulled toward the body. These exercises target the back muscles and biceps.Some examples include pull-ups, chin-ups, dumbbell rows, bent-over rows, lat pulldowns and inverted rows.This entails holding weight while walking, which helps to improve posture and stability, strengthens grip, and works the shoulders, upper back, core and hips."You want to be able to carry at least 70% of your body weight," Suazo advised."Hinging at the hip is crucial," Suazo said. "It allows you to bend over and extend the hips."These hip-dominant movements including deadlifts, hip thrusts, kettlebell swings and good mornings work the muscles along the back of the body, such as the glutes, hamstrings and posterior chain.Vertical press movements focus on strengthening the shoulders, triceps and core.Some examples include the overhead press, shoulder press and push press.The squat is an essential movement that targets the quads, glutes and core, according to Suazo.There are several variations, including the front squat, goblet squat (holding a weight or kettle bell), back squat (holding a bar on the shoulders) and the split squat (stationary lunge).For true beginners, Suazo said its best to "stick to the fundamentals," like calisthenics, push-ups, pull-ups and squats.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"If you can't do pull ups, I'd do inverted rows I think that's primal," he said. "If you cant do those, resistance band training is a tremendous way to start.""And you can do it at home. You don't have to be in a gym."The trainer emphasized the importance of starting slowly and progressively increasing the weight to challenge the body.Strength training should also be combined with cardiovascular activity and mobility to create what Suazo calls the "tripod effect."For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"Those three things, when they come together, they're able to hold you up a lot better," he said. "So I think putting focus on all three is super beneficial, especially as we age."Those who are considering starting a new exercise program should consult with a doctor for guidance to prevent injury.

I do it for the meatloaf."
