It's Girl Scout Cookie Time. What Will You Be Eatting This Season?

Lynn · 02-28-2010, 03:54 PM

Thin mints and Tagalongs are the best. I'll be picking our's up on Wednesday evening. Hope they last the car ride home! They have seriously gone up in price and, I think, down in quality. But, the cause is still important. And, "good cookie" is a relative term.

Ha! I got kicked out of the girl scouts for eating brownies.

Seriously, I love the samoas.

Eating brownies? Please elaborate

When I was a Girl Scout, cookie time was scary. I was a crazed bitch that had to be no.1. I just had to..

BTW, it's all about the Thin Mints..

I also was a Girl Scout and sold door to door, oh those were the days!

My favorites are Samoas, but I can be tempted by a frozen Thin Mint. OMG

There are a lot of sex offenders and drug dealers in our neighborhood; I'd worry about any kid, boy or girl, knocking on doors--even teens. I remember so vividly how scary it was to go door to door when we had to sell Band Candy (usually M&Ms) during high school... some people are just plain scary and I never knew what kind of person would open that door... or how vicious their dog might be.

Back to GSC, we bought three boxes of Peanut Butter Patties yesterday at one of those tables set up at the grocery store and I about fell over... they were $3.50 a box!!! Just the day before, looking in shock at dog cookies at Walgreens, I had mentioned to Gryph that not only would I not pay $7 for a 13 oz box of people cookies, I wouldn't pay $3 for one... and now I have paid $3.50 for 7 oz?!

But it isn't that they're Girl Scout cookies... tis that they're Gryph's all-time favorites. So I said to myself, "it's once a year" and I bought them. *sheepish look*

DapperButch · 02-28-2010, 04:10 PM

...are awesome. And they come 15 to a box. And I ate 13 of them last night. In one sitting.

Due to their awesomeness, I do not think that I should be held accountable for this.

theoddz · 02-28-2010, 04:46 PM

Mint cookies......bring 'em.

I bought 2 boxes this year from one of the RT's in my department whose daughter is in scouting. Although I've never agreed with the homophobic stance that Scouting has taken, over the years, I do think it is a great program for young men and women. I believe in supporting that.

Does anyone know if the Girl Scouts are still selling these door-to-door?? I remember them doing that in my neighborhood when I was growing up. I guess it's not safe for kids to be doing that anymore. Sad.

I remember being a Brownie.

Two tables were set up in front of our local Wal Mart yesterday. One at each entrance. The sign across the front of the tables said they were $4 a box. I procrastinate often in which ones to buy, so I hope they are there again next weekend as I have finally decided...................I think.

tiggs · 02-28-2010, 04:55 PM

Oh my gosh I love love the mint cookies they are the yummiest but sadly I haven't had them in years I don't know anyone in my area that sells them.

Here's the cookie finder. Just enter your zip code and it will show you where to get cookies.

You can enter garbage in the contact info, you just need to enter something before it will take you to the page for your area. Here in NoCal, they have a little map with locations and sale dates and times.

I love the internet. It has everything!

turasultana · 02-28-2010, 05:30 PM

In order to be a team player and get along in the corporate world I was forced to order cookies from not one but two coworkers.

somehow i requested Tagalogs, samoas, thin mints, do si dos and lemon creme

the lemon creme and samoas came first and lasted 2 days with great restraint. the rest should come shortly. I'm sure those won't make it home from the office either. (sorry stray. :>)

theoddz · 02-28-2010, 05:49 PM

Uh oh.

The Lemon Chalet Girl Scout cookies are being recalled. Here's the story:

They're saying that they are "safe" to eat, just not "up to quality".

.....has only eaten the mint ones.

I remember being a Brownie too, in the third grade. I hated it. When we crosed the bridge to "fly up" to Girl Scouts at end of the year, they suggested to my mother that I not join (Thank God!). I believe they said I was "too rough". I think they were just ticked off because I insisted on making a boy spoon doll instead of a girl spoon doll like everyone else.

At the last place I worked they had one main order sheet for the employees and then the list was split among the parents who had Girl Scouts at home. That worked really well.

This year I got the cookies the regular old door to door way!

It's just the Boy Scouts that are homophobic and christian-centric. The Girls Scouts accept queers, and members are allowed to substitute the word "god" in the oath.

Are they made from real Girl Scouts or Girl Guides???? Transfat free... no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives???
