Lemon-Ups

Lemon-Ups arrive with a simple mission: remind everyone that Girl Scout cookies don't have to be covered in chocolate to deserve attention. These crisp lemon-flavored cookies deliver a bright, sweet citrus bite that feels lighter than the usual rich and indulgent favorites.

They also bring a little personality to the box, with encouraging messages stamped right onto the cookies. But motivational words aren't going to win this league. The flavor has to do the talking.

Their biggest competition might come from Lemonades, the other citrus contender in the bracket. Lemon-Ups keep things crisp and straightforward, while Lemonades add a layer of tangy icing.

Will voters reward that clean lemon flavor, or will the chocolate-and-peanut-butter crowd shut down the citrus division before it ever reaches the final?
