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

MsDemeanor · 02-28-2010, 03:04 PM

I started selling them as a Brownie when I was 6 years old, and several many boxes make it in to my hot little hands every spring. After the first few boxes disappear quickly, I dole the rest out carefully. I've been known to still have a box or two stashed away come December.

Do-si-dos, samoas, tagalongs, and trefoils only. Sorry, I hear they are yummy, but I can't do the mint cookie thing.

Where'd that second "t" come from? Maybe some kind mod will fix the thread title. *must have more coffee*

Having always been a Trefoil fan, this year I got wild and ordered the sandwitch cookies with the lemon filling.

The filling is odd and I have spent quite a bit of time pondering how. It seems like the cream filling has little bursts of faux lemon flavor kind of like teeny tapiocas or BBs filled with lemon flavored jello.

Next year Trefoils!

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..

...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.

I desperately miss the original shortbread cookies of days gone by. They were delicious! Oh yes and I'm simply taken a back by the price per box these days. When I sold them, a box went for $1.25 (don't judge).

You know, the first sign of aging is talking about how cheap things were back when you were a kid. The second in telling kids about how you had to walk uphill both ways in the snow to get to and from school every day.

dixie · 02-28-2010, 09:03 PM

I've already been thru a case of caramel delights... *blushing profusely* lol

Yikes, the cat is definitely out of the bag that I'm not 18.

*dramatic sigh*

As for anecdote's regarding trudging through snow, not my thingy. BUT I will admit to referring to baggy pants kids as possible hoodlums of the future.

However, with that said, I believe that a box of Girl Scout cookies and a bit of campfire song (while wearing a sash with badges) can cure all that ails society (especially little rabbit fu fu). Just sayin'. ; )

TexasCowboi · 03-01-2010, 01:35 AM

THIN MINTS ALL THE WAY!!!! I ordered multiple cases this year.... they have to last me all year, 'til the next time they are sold.... right?

I bought an additional case of mixed variety of Girl Scout cookies when I challenged a "Junior" scout.... I told her I would buy another case of cookies from her if she could tell me how many calories were in 4 cases of Thin Mints....
about two hours later she called me and blurted out the answer.... I told her I would pick up my cookies in half an hour.... that case of cookies went to the horse rescue ranch for the volunteers.... one of whom promptly fed my horseappotamus one of her Girl Scout cookies!

I also kinda like the "Daisy Go Rounds".... and the shortbread cookies with the chocolate layer on the bottom....

I sold GS cookies when they were like 50cents a box...

NJFemmie · 03-01-2010, 12:08 PM

Wow... what a big difference a little geography makes. Growing up in my old neighborhood, girl scouts didn't ring your door bell, the Guardian Angels did.

lol

Dean Thoreau · 03-01-2010, 07:44 PM

i just like the girlscout leaders

u can keep the cookies...yes yes yes the thin mints beckon to me but I must not yield to temptation, When I can not buy shorts at old navy cause they dont have my size....it is obvious over the years i have eaten to many girl scout cookies!
