Girl Scout Cookies.

Why can't we get Girl Scout cookies rite now? It's not fair that people can get Girl Scout cookies "cept me.

TheMercenary · 03-09-2009, 08:15 PM

We got ours weeks ago. Still working through them.

fargon · 03-09-2009, 08:17 PM

We get ours in the fall, and they are long gone.

DanaC · 03-09-2009, 08:21 PM

so what's so great about girl scout cookies?

Undertoad · 03-09-2009, 09:18 PM

Little girls learning to interact with people.

SteveDallas · 03-09-2009, 09:29 PM

Tradition.

I'm not too fond of them anymore, but I used to love 'em. My favorites were the mint chocolate wafers...dipping them in milk was heavenly. I like the way the cold milk would soak the cookie part but the chocolate outside would stay hard so that it would ' snap' when you bit into it.

DanaC · 03-09-2009, 10:03 PM

By 'wafer' do you mean a thin layer of cookie?

Aliantha · 03-09-2009, 10:06 PM

Girl scouts aren't very big over here...so as a consequence, nor are the cookies.

These days it's all just scouts (girls and boys combined) and they do other stuff for fundraising.

I remember having the cookies when I was little though. They were always yummy, but really they were just digestives or choc chip. Not much variety.

I'm glad someone besides me is asking that question.

My li'l one is in girl scouts. I told her that its her decision whether or not to sell cookies and not to let anyone talk her into or out of it including me.

Personally, I think its about the money but I could be wrong.

I couldn't remember what they were called, but yes by wafer I mean a thin cookie, but really not really that thin, I guess.

lumberjim · 03-09-2009, 11:49 PM

Of course it's about the money. The troop gets 30 cents for every $3 box and uses it to fund activities throughout the year. Could be fun stuff, could be patch-earning stuff, could be a community service project, it's up to the troop. None of the girls HAS to sell cookies, but if you don't, it's the troop's prerogative to keep track of who earned what and make parents of non-sellers foot the bill for the stuff they do. Only fair.

Trust me; we've been selling these little goodies for 7 years now.

And I sold 'em for 8 years when I was a girl, too.

This year we have:
Caramel Delites (my favorite)
Thin Mints
Shortbreads
Lemonades
Thank You's
Peanut Butter Patties
PB Sandwiches
Cinna-Spins

If anyone is cookie-deprived, I'd be happy to send you a box.

Yes.

Juniper, no-one, but no-one, but NO-ONE should be teaching young girls that it's okay to spell delight as delite.
Huff.

Okay, as you were
