ATLANTA — 10-year-old Natalie Suarez-Filomeno says everyone she knows, and many she has never met, can spot a celebrity when they see one.
“They’re really so excited. They’re like, I need a signed autograph,” Natalie told Channel 2′s Berndt Petersen.
Natalie is a Girl Scout, and for the first time ever Girl Scouts from metro Atlanta are pictured on a box of cookies.

Lots of boxes of cookies.
“Millions. Millions. The Girl Scouts Cookie Program just here in Atlanta - we’ll sell over 3 million boxes in the Atlanta area this year,” Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta’s Alantria Dixon said.
It’s the new Raspberry Rally.
At Natalie’s house, the box is now a family heirloom.
“We’ll put some on display. Maybe frame it. Use it to store other cookies. We’re super excited about it,” her dad Rene Suarez-Soto said.

The Girl Scouts would prefer you buy some of their other varieties rather than paying a premium on the resale market.
Maybe Raspberry Rally will be back next year.
When asked how the cookie tasted, Natalie said, “It actually tastes very good.”
