5. I liked the peanut butter cookies......

...when they were "Savannahs". IDK what they are now, but they're not as good, IMHO. Now, I'd have to say Thin Mints. (But WHEN are they going to make me thin?? )

[debm55]

7. hahahahahahhhahahaha. Thank you for sharing, lastlib.

6. Samoas, baby! (with Thin Mints a second choice}

Of course, with my having given up chocolate for Lent, my boxes (one of each) will remain uneaten until the end of Lent. But come Easter Sunday, watch out! I plan to gorge on them with a nice cup of hot tea or two.

[debm55]

8. HAHAHAHHAHHA. Thank you very much, MIButterfly. Easter is coming.

[MIButterfly]

9. Not soon enough for me!

[Grim Chieftain]

12. Thin mints for me

We need to drive around and find where they are being sold. Love to support the Girl Scouts!

[debm55]

house to house.

They just don't taste the same. I used to like the mints but now the smell of them makes me sick. It doesn't taste like they use real butter in the shortbread cookies anymore either. I guess the peanut butter sandwich cookies are okay.

I hate when manufacturers change their product to cut costs.

[debm55]

16. Thank you, very much for sharing with us, Figarosmom. Not only has the taste changed but the price has two. When I was a

Girl Scout the cookies were 45 cents a box. That was in the mid 60;s

14. mint w chocolate coating.:):) mmmmmmmm .

[debm55]

15. Thank you very much, Bear. Those are their thin mints.

[chouchou]

17. I usually take the chocolate cookies...ah...after I push one of the girls down..

I mean, I can run pretty fast..

[debm55]

20. ------------

[chouchou]

22. OK..Actually, I give them money each year. I prefer to make my own.

It's between 25 and 50 bucks. It's for a good cause and all...

[debm55]

23. HAHAHHAHAHAH. thank you very much chouchou. I knew you were joking. You are not the type of person to knock a Scout down

and take her cookies. You, my friend, have a kind heart.

[chouchou]

29. You have a huge sweet heart.

[debm55]

31. Thank you

25. Back in the day when I knew someone who knew someone who was a girl scout...

...I'd get the thin mints. Nowadays, I only see scouts selling cookies outside the grocery store. It was typically $5 for less than half a pound of cookies; I bet the packages are smaller and the prices higher these days. I can make cookies now which are quite good and buy cookies which are lots cheaper, so girl scout cookies have little place in my life these days. But it does call to mind a favorite quote from a movie (Addams Family Values):


Girl Scout: Is this made from real lemons? I only like all natural foods and beverages. Are you sure they're real lemons?

Pugsley: Yes.

Girl Scout: Well, I'll tell you what. I'll buy a cup if you buy a box of my delicious girl scout cookies. Do we have a deal?

Wednesday Addams: Are they made from real Girl Scouts?

[debm55]

32. HAHAHAHHAHA. Thank you very much, Morbius.

I agree with you about the Samoas......yummy!

I bought three boxes this morning on my way to a potluck. I got one of the Samoas, one of the peanut butter, and one of the lemon.

[debm55]

36. Thank you very much, Upthevibe. and enjoy.

27. Tagalongs straight out of the freezer!

(chef's kiss)

[debm55]

35. Oh those sound good. Thank you for sharing with us.Dulcinea.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

28. Thin Mints and... Tagalongs?

Those were the oatmeal cookies with peanut butter, right?

But yeah, they’ve gotten skimpy on the cookies as the price goes up. Back in the day, we had to do it ALL—go door to door and sell those damned things, then when your troop received their order, you had to go back around the neighbourhood to deliver and collect payment. What does it teach kids about business when they’re all sold by mums at a card table as a kid or two fidgets awkwardly?

(Harumpf. I’ve obviously reached the stage of Grumpy Old Fart, I see… )

[debm55]

34. Thank you very much, buzzycrumphunger. I remember those days too.

[Wolf Frankula]

30. I always ask

Are they made out of real Girl Scouts?

[debm55]

33. HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAH. that is funny. Thank you Wolf Frankula.
