...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?
