SG, as a writer, I have always felt that it was just fine to break those rules when appropriate as long as you know the rule in the first place.
This, from the society that has "nite," "thru," and "donut." Language evolves. |

The last year my middle schooler was in scouts, she was telling people "made with 20% more girl scout" until I gave her the death look.

I thought that everywhere in the country had Girl Scout Cookie Time in February? I know troops had cookies available in late January, but they faced severe penalties for selling before the official start date.
I miss the not-quite-like Oreos (chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies) they used to have. All these new fangled cookies are just plain wrong, I tell you. I also get quite confused over different councils using different bakeries and having different cookies.

I bought a box of peanut butter cookies (the crunchy kind, as they should be)from the cute girls outside the grocery, but I only bought P-butter because I KNEW mom would get me a box of Thin Mints. Sure enough, she called me Sunday and said she had a box waiting for me. It's tradition.

Nah, it's some big Corporate Cookie Creating Cretins or something.
Back in the day, the girls did make their own. Here's an interesting site that shows how far back GS cookies selling goes.
