Just be on the lookout for them outside your local Walmart or grocery store! Those girls will find a way to find you!

in years long ago I loved the chocolate chips with the pecans in them, a few years ago I loved the lemon coolers For years and years though my favorite has been Samoas and the Thin Mints, and the Do Si Do's.

Since I was a child I don't ever remember a year when GSC's weren't either sold by someone in the family, a neighbor or a coworker until about 3 yrs ago. I guess everyone finally grew up after 40 yrs. LOL

The past 25 yrs 2 of my coworkers have had girls in scouts and I bought bundles I mean like I had GSC's in the freezer for most of the year.

However I think those pesky little angels are learning a very valuable lesson when they go out to sell. It doesn't matter how many boxes I already have, if a child has the courage to approach me and ask me be it at Walmart, Food Lion or at my door, I at least by a box. I think selling things and going door to door builds character and also teaches them reward and failure. Everyone doesn't say yes yanno

They are seasonal, as to the why, it is fundraising so the girls can go to camp, etc.

Seriously. They are like Special Forces, Cookie Agents.

Now that I think about it...they are more like cops.

When I want or need one, I can't find one. But when I'm trying my best to avoid them, they are EVERYWHERE.

Buggers.

HighMainFemme · 01-18-2011, 08:46 PM

Thin mints are my favorites, just bought 4 boxes!
Samoas! yummy, love that coconut, 2 boxes!
And the new flavor, white chocolate fudge with cranberries, 2 boxes!

umm... no, they aren't for me.... they are for my kids.
sigh....
darn it, back to the confession thread....

prettylilgrrl · 04-02-2011, 10:39 AM

I love these after having them in the freezer for awhile. They seem to taste better every year though. I think it's because I miss them when they are gone lol.

Bootboi · 04-02-2011, 10:44 AM

We call the guy who sells his daughters girl scout cookies at work...The "Cookie Crack Dealer"

His cube is like a drive through window for cookies. I have my freezer stocked with 3 boxes of thin mints. French Vanilla ice cream to cut the sweetness! Hahhahaha

Gemme · 04-02-2011, 10:47 AM

I have Samoa ice cream.

Diva · 04-02-2011, 12:31 PM

The Girl Scouts (and Brownies and Daisies,,,the crack dealer trainees!) are evil children of Satan. Of course, this means I love them.

I believe I have OD'd on The Mints that are Thin. My new favorites are the cookie formerly known as Samoas.....and the Shortbread cookies.....<sigh>

Yum to the MIE!

cara · 04-02-2011, 01:49 PM

I managed to only buy one box of Thin Mints this year. It helps working in an office with no parents of daughters at GS age.

What name did they change Samoas to?

I ordered a mixed case of Thin Mints and Caramel Delites (aka Samoas)

Chancie · 04-02-2011, 02:09 PM

An entire case?

your thin mints <-- give me them

They didn't change the name of Samoas, per se. There are two factories that manufacture that particular cookie. One of the factories still calls and markets them as Samoas and the other thinks that Caramel Delights sounds better, so they call and market them as such.

It's the same damn cookie and I *love* them so!

I even like the Samoa knockoffs by Keebler HERE.

Would it be wrong of me to brag that I have Samoa ice cream in my freezer RIGHT NOW?

You could move to TX.

Just sayin'.

wolfbittenpoet · 04-02-2011, 04:11 PM

I like thin mints. Definitely my fave.

I was a cookie crack dealer. I made huge amounts of sales for years. I held the record until last year in my council district. Door to door with my red wagon and the teddy bear holding a cookie box.

TexasCowboi · 05-25-2012, 06:42 AM

I hear there is a Thin Mint candy bar type thing out now!

Miss Scarlett · 05-25-2012, 06:49 AM

Used to love them but am not a fan of Thin Mints these days...did they change the "chocoate" coating?

My new fav GS cookies are the awesome coconut ones that Diamondrose turned me on to during the St Pat's Parade in Savannah...jonesing for them over here...LOL

... THIN MINTS

... OMG!! My biggest weakness! I bought 5 boxes earlier this year from a nurse at work, who's daughter quilted a BEAUTIFUL queen size quilt to raise raffle money for Breast Cancer Awareness ... I won that quilt and wanted to support that wonderful young lady as much as possible ... if I'd had enough money, I would have filled my fridge. I can't imagine life without Thin Mints!!! Alas...

my 5 boxes didn't last very long.

..

The only thing better than Thin Mints is a Thin Mint Cheesecake! !!
