Who remembers Sunshine Lemon Cooler Cookies?
The original Sunshine Lemon Cooler Cookies were discontinued in the mid-1990s. The parent company, Sunshine Biscuits, was purchased by the Keebler Company in 1996, and Keebler discontinued the popular cookies along with several other products. :( Why Keebler??
