samoas actually have an
interesting history, at least in some parts of the
united states. in many places, these
cookies are no longer called
samoas, but rather
Caramel deLites. they were originally named samoas because of the
coconut--the name was chosen because it brought to mind images of
tropical islands. but sometime in the late 80's/early 90's, it was decided this was
politically incorrect, so the name was changed. (
trefoils were renamed
shortbread at this time as well, again for
correctness issues--
trefoil had too many "
religious connotations", apparently.) in some regions the
name was never changed, and in some it has been changed back in recent
years. but that's the reason the same
cookie has two different
names.
