It's That Time - Girl Scout Cookies

[TheRoseLady]

I was on my way to work, and a local radio station had Girl Scouts calling in and they were ordering GS cookies from them. The little girls sounded so cute. I bet they bought 200 boxes by the time it was over.

So what kind(s) is/are your favorite?


Cookie varieties:
Thin Mints (chocolate mint)
Samoas (coconut, caramel and vanilla cookie)
Trefoils (shortbread)
Do-Si-Dos (peanut butter sandwich)
All Abouts (shortbread with chocolate bottom)
Tagalongs (peanut butter covered with chocolate)
Double Dutch (chocolate chocolate chip)
Lemon Coolers (lemon-zest flavored vanilla cookies)

I should probably go with which ones I don't like. (Only a few) ;)

I always buy trefoils, samoas and thin mints.

mmmm cookies.

Tagalongs and Samoas. :drool: I hope someone at work has a kid selling them! If not, I just might pop into my old work place and order from a woman who I know is gonna sell them again.

I'm a thin mints and samoas kinda guy, but i once ate my roommates tagalongs and he flipped out.

[SpunGirl]

I'm into the thin mints, after they've been stored at the back of the freezer for about two weeks and with a giant glass of milk. And I don't even like chocolate normally.

The cookies are oh so MmmMm, but.. I love the ice cream they make with the thin mint cookie pieces in them. :drool:

I ordered 4381348 boxes of thin mints and the caramelish chocolate-striped donut-looking thangs (idunnothename).

I prefer Brownies over Girl Scouts, once they get into the teens they get all chewy, usually stringy too.



I don't really get this whole deal, in boy scouts I sold cheese logs and beef sticks to help pay for summer camp, but shit I only needed to sell like $50 worth, these girls are like selling hundreds, where is all that money going?

[Jenisi]

Samoas all the way!!

I used to sell popcorn. Couldn' t no one beat my leet popcorn selling skillz

** Where the money goes:
Cost per box: 86 cents
Troop profit: 38 cents
Council funds $1.76

** How the money is spent:
Council funds used for management and maintenance of camps, service programs for girls, special events, leader training, administration and financial assistance to girls.

Troop profits used for individual troop needs and goals.

** Example of a troop’s total cookie sale:
Say Troop #000 sells 2,100 boxes of Girl Scout cookies at $3 a box. The Council receives $5,502 from which $1,806 is used to pay for the cookies. The troop receives $798 for its programs and goals.

Also additional tidbits:

My ex buys hundreds of dollars worth of them every year and stores them in the freezer. She's the only person I know that has girl scout cookies year round.

Same for me. I didn't know those caramel ones are called Samoas. Those are my fav. That name doesn't ring a bell, I could have sworn I knew what they used to be called. As for mints, yup, I toss em in the freezer too. :D

Damn those little bitches and their crack.

They are also known as Carmel DeLites and Tagalongs as Peanut Butter Patties.

I am guessing that it depends on which of the two bakeries serves your area.

Wow I have to try these cookies now. I had never heard of them. I wonder if the in-laws would ship me a box or two...

It's like that first cigarette or that first hit off of the crack pipe.

You'll wish you never started.

[DeV]

Thank God for this thread. It reminded me that I have to buy some girl scout cookies today for my co-workers daughter.

Thin Mints are where its at.

[Allycat]

I put my tagalongs in the freezer, just like any other chocolate I get.. mmmmm tagalongs.. <mutters: damn girl scouts>

-Ally

[Parkbandit]

I could easily eat an entire box of Samoas and not blink an eye.

For that reason alone.. I hate them.

[Czeska]

I was eating my very last Samoa when I found this thread.

I still have half a box of Dosidos at work, and half a box of thin mints in my freezer at home..

And someone ELSE is selling them now. This troop did theirs in Nov.

[Toxicvixen]

I think they put something in the cookies. Something that makes us all addicted. Its a conspiracy. Someone has to know more!

[Czeska]

LadyCzeska: make me PUT THE COOKIES AWAY
LadyCzeska: twitch
Kerry: ...
Kerry: what kind?
LadyCzeska: right now dosidos
Kerry: Mmmm
Kerry: what else ya got?
Kerry: ok here...
Kerry: MIRIAM PUT THE FUCKING COOKIES AWAY THEY'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO YOUR ASS
Kerry: will you do that for me when I get my thin mints?
