Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Try Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Apparently, the world's largest retailer is on a mission to expand its Great Value private label, which in the past has imitated brands like Kellogg's Toasted Honey Crunch cereal and "cake batter" ice cream (a big crowd pleaser at Cold Stone Creamery). And recently, it has snatched up the Girl Scouts' Thin Mints and Tagalongs cookies in one fell swoop. No, the real things will not be available at a Wal-Mart near you. Rather, Wal-Mart's private label will tout tasty imitations.
