GIRL SCOUT COOKIES = CRACK

[QueenAdrock]

What's your favorite? Mine have to be Tagalongs. I just got a box delivered. It's 10 AM and I broke them open already.

God, they're so good. (y)

[avignon]

Thin mints.....frozen. If I have to pick one.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

I've had some mint choc ones when i was in the US. They kept them in the freezer and one was never enough. Or two. Or three. (y)

Thin mints.....frozen. If I have to pick one.

ha snap!!

[na§tee]

i know not of these girl scout cookies you speak of :(

[Kid Presentable]

great the echewta option

[QueenAdrock]

Yeah, this is an America-centric post. It's Girl Scouts of America and they come out with delicious cookies each year. So here's a description of each cookie, if you wanna pick which sounds best too:

Thin Mints - small, round, mint-flavored chocolate wafer cookies surrounded with a layer of milk chocolate. The highest seller of all the cookies, accounting for 25% of sales.

Do-Si-Dos - A sandwich cookie. The round, bumpy perforated oatmeal cookie top and bottom surround a peanut butter-flavored layer inside.

Tagalongs: These are round cookies with a layer of peanut butter on top, and then covered in chocolate. A lot like eating a Reece's Peanut Butter cup with a wafer wedged in the middle.

Samoas: These are round doughnut-shaped cookies about 2 inches in diameter with a hole in the center, covered in caramel and toasted coconut, and then striped with chocolate.

Trefoils: Simple shortbread cookie.

Chewy Echewtas: Made with caramel and chocolate, they sound delicious but actually taste a little stale.

[kleptomaniac]

[hardnox71]

samoas they are delicious :D
I concur. Samoas are the shit.

[hpdrifter]

For me its Samoas and Tagalongs. Though this year I got some Do-Si-Dos and they're good.

[hardnox71]

I remember last summer I got about four boxes of samoas and left them in the trunk of a friends car. I went over to his house later that night to get them and they were gone. All of them. The fucker ate four whole boxes!! God, I was pissed.:mad:

[Yeti]

If this was really the case then.................all the Cops episodes would consist of the cop making a traffic stop--searching the car and finding large amounts of girl scout cookie boxes and a battered little girl in the trunk.

[hardnox71]

What time? Time to kidnap a girlscout?

If the cops come to me, I'm giving you up.


But you might be able to buy my silence with some samoas. All the samoas.

[cookiepuss]

[DIGI]

Samoas without question.(y)

[cookiepuss]

hmmmm, maybe these campfires girls is a cult of girl scouts that didnt sell enough cookies.

since campfire was first I'd say it's the other way around.:mad:

campfire didn't accept boys until 1975...sad that I know this. but ah yeah that male cherleader comment is not unwarrented. heh. ;)

I can't beleive campfire has been around longer yet the girl scouts have stole our thunder with thier ugly brown uniforms. ours are blue. BLUE...way nicer than poopy brown.

Historical Highlights
Camp Fire was founded in 1910 by Luther Gulick, M.D., and his wife, Charlotte Gulick, as the first nonsectarian organization for girls in the United States.

1910
First meetings of Camp Fire Girls are held in Vermont. Dr. Gulick chooses the name "Camp Fire" because campfires were the origin of the first communities and domestic life. Once people learned to make and control fire, they could develop and nurture a sense of community.


1912
Camp Fire Girls of America is incorporated in Washington, D.C., as a national agency.


1913

Each year, approximately 200 Camp Fire USA youth throughout the nation receive the prestigious Wohelo Award.

Probably Trefoils.

However, there's a new cookie called All Abouts which are wafer cookies with chocolate coating on the bottom. They're pretty good, too. But plain.

[little j]

too bad i can only choose one.
i like thin mints and samoas.

[QueenAdrock]

God's turd is more like it. That shit be heavenly.

[befsquire]

i can't pick a favorite. currently i have thin mints in my freezer, but only because i kinda sorta sent bobby out to the store for kleenex the day my dad died, and mentioned that if they had girl scouts outside the store then i wanted some cookies. at the time, thin mints were the only kind that i could think of the name of them. and then i forgot i asked for them since it wasn't the purpose of his trip and he went about an hour after i'd mentioned that if he went to the store later, i'd need kleenex. so, he called me asking what kind of girl guide cookies i wanted, and i thought he was saying grillguide, and i was like "what?!" and kept making him repeat it and then spell it and that's when i realized he meant girl scout. it was painful, and he was sorta pissed. not my fault he's a canadian.

anyway...

in no particular order, i like thin mints, samoas, tagalongs, and do-si-dos. trefoils are good, but not great like the others i just listed. i'd like to try the all abouts and the cafe cookie.

[QueenAdrock]

That's cute. One of the things I love best about dating Brett is how he's just foreign enough to do cute stuff like that, but not really a foreigner at all. :)

[befsquire]

the problem is when he does it, he has no idea that i'm not stupid, he's just saying shit wrong.

[R. Kelly]

fuck girl scout cookies i like da girl scouts B

[befsquire]

^predictable. :rolleyes:
