What Cookies Are No Longer Made by Nabisco? Nabisco has discontinued several kinds of cookies over the years, including certain flavors of Newtons and individual brands such as Cookie Breaks, Swiss Creme Cookies and Kettle Cookies. The Hometown Favorites website lists more than 12 discontinued Nabisco cookie lines as of 2015.
Reminiscent of the Oreo, the Nabisco Giggles sandwich cookies that were popular in the 1980s featured both vanilla and chocolate cream filling sandwiched between two shortbread cookies, which also came in either vanilla or chocolate. But the Nabisco Giggles also had a gimmick: Each cookie had a (slightly creepy) smiley face cut into them. Why?
Van'Chos were available from the Girl Scouts from 1974 to 1983, according to the Little Brownie Bakers, one of the two companies licensed to make Girl Scout Cookies still to this day (via GirlScouts.org ). While it's unclear why these cookies were discontinued, it does beg the question: Why aren't multi-flavor boxes of cookies more of a thing?
Unfortunately, the Big Stuf didn't hit the spot, and it was discontinued after about seven years on the market. It's not 100% clear why the giant cookie didn't last longer, but Fast Company's Sandie Glass surmises it might have been too big for kids' appetites.
