It is interesting to see that some locations are completely opting out of the Pie Week Mystery Cookie. There have been rumors and rumblings that this is the last official Mystery Cookie throughout the country before they start Hometown Picks in which stores will be able to choose a sixth (6th) cookie of their choosing once a week. In essence, their own Mystery Cookie every single week with up to 15 total cookies.
