Girl Scout Cookies

Had to go with Peanut Butter Patty, can't eat just one. I'm eating one of the new lo-cal ones right now, cinna-spins.

Some of these I've seen before. . All Abouts? Yes, please.

never seen, duh.

The names in parens are the older ones, I think? But they're a tad bit "culturally insensitive", maybe...since the "Samoans" are the cookies with coconut, y'see...the other two, I dunno where their names come from.

Your fave?

The names depend on which of the 2 authorized bakeries made them iirc. Do the local counsels get to set their own prices? Because 2 years ago, I paid $5/box (last time I will ever buy any).

or erm, councils...

Holy crap. . .I hate even buying them at $3.50.

They should give you a sticker like "I voted" that way once you buy some you can wave it at future cookie pushers to get off the hook.

The 47-year-old retarded woman with the 120db horse-laugh at work sells girl scout cookies. You can't really say no to her.

peanut butter

Peanut butter really does not belong in anything that's more sweet than it is savory.

THIN MINTS!

I'm a ho for Do-Si-Do

tagalong & thin mint

& samoa

Peanut butter really does not belong in anything that's more sweet than it is savory.

Cultural divide rears it head. I really can't imagine any savory application of peanut butter which I would savor.

one of my favorite desserts ever - peanut butter between two ritz crackers, with the whole thing covered in chocolate.

great sweet + salty mix

Do you dip the sandwich into melted chocolate or just mash it all together as with a smore?

it was from a candy shop in new orleans so it was already all pro-dipped.

Samoas. I buy boxes of these every year and keep them in the freezer. Soooooo good.

Pro-dipped is definitely better than amateur-ly dipped.

Cultural divide rears it head. I really can't imagine any savory application of peanut butter which I would savor.

I make a really killer sweet potato soup with tomatoes and peppers and curry, and the secret ingredient is peanut butter.

they're a tad bit "culturally insensitive", maybe...since the "Samoans" are the cookies with coconut

Samoans should be bloody HONORED to have such a delicious thing named after them.

Samoans! Every year it is so fun and neat to get the Dryer's Samoan ice cream (annual release).

Selling cookies is hell though, I can say as a former girl scout. Like pretty much your parents have to work in a big fucking office where they guilt all their coworkers into buying their daughter's $$$ cookies. My dad was a freelance house roofer and therefore could only have tried to sell cookies to things like air compressors, shingles and nail guns, and as everyone knows those things neither eat nor use currency. I went door to door in the winter until I sold just enough cookies to get to go to the annual Downata Water Park trip (which I did not enjoy). Took me 3 days of tromping in the snow to sell that many cookies!

Girl scouts was really lame. The only reason I joined was because my brother in boy scouts (cub scouts then) got to do rad shit like scuba dive and play with fire. But in girl scouts we did things like making macramé plant holders and lacy tissue box cozies. What a disappointment it was.

Oh libcrypt, could I get that recipe? It sounds fucking amazing.

Recipe emailed to you Abbs.

thin mints.. frozen.

omg Thin Mints.

I am a big wasted Girl Scout marking opportunity -- offer me those Samoas and I will pay gladly, any time

i would gladly buy some patties and thin mints, but i have no cookie hookup in the office! everyone is early 30s or under, so no one has any girl scouts to shill for. this was not a problem in any other office i've worked in.

I read that as "I would gladly buy some panties and thin mints"

Do they not hustle in front of grocery stores where you live? They are unavoidable there. No one I work with is childed.

thin mints.. frozen.

otm!

i love samoas too (can't bring myself to call them caramel delites), but i have 2 or 3 cookie limit with those. thin mints i eat by the sleeve.

I will eat an entire box of Samoas if left to my own devices.

Also would love to get libcrypt's recipe... sounds awesome.

Do they not hustle in front of grocery stores where you live?

too cold.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

'm eating one of the new lo-cal ones right now,

wait, what, are these out now? or are you eating one from like a year ago?

I could eat a million thin mints. I'm lucky girl scout cookies are so expensive or I would end up looking like Jabba the Hut.

tagalongs in a landslide

I just ordered some the other day. Samoas and Tagalongs.

they're all fucking amazing but come on, this is like asking who the best Destiny's Child was

THIN

MINTS!!!!!!

caramel delites

thin mints are also good

is there any place that sells these year-round?

SAMOAS LIKE FUCK

I swear the Samoas ice cream is best thing in the world.

but come on, this is like asking who the best Destiny's Child was

No, the answer is Samoas. And Beyonce.

lol

I'm sampling these right now. My all-time favorite is the shortbread -- so good with a cup of coffee. Do not like the thin mints. They can fuck off -- I should sell them back. Samoas are delish. I'm eating a few more of these. Tagalongs (peanut butter patties) are goood. A bit rich, but whatever. Peanut Butter Cremes are nothing special.

fu thin mints forever

actually those peanut butter ones forever but I don't care thin mints too

SAMOAS

I'M SORRY BUT SOMOAS ARE THE GREATEST COOKIE OF ALL TIME

don't even know what to think when i see girl scouts @ public places selling cuteness cookies. They just recently made their presence at uni.. and for whatever reason, I feel this morally wrong. I really have no idea how to explain it. I just saw them and went "wow, they really should not be here"

and shit it's not like this is community college or anything. i guess it's just being in such a ambience of raging sexuality/hormones all day long... and then seeing some v innocent kids wearing "tag-a-long" jerseys & running around, chasing eachother... just kinda gave me a When Worlds Collide vibe, I guess.

wait, I just got these 2 boxeds of p-b sandwich cookies -- have they ELIMINATED the patties? or did I just fucking misorder and they have 2 fucking different kinds of fucking peanut butter cookies?!?

also I don't see Do-Si-Do anywhere on the fucking box.

They're selling cookies, so chill

i'm not a moral dude at all, i was just kinda surprised that i even made the connection in the first place. iono, i guess just having a little sis who was in girl scout's kinda stirred it up.

cross out "at all"

(kelpolaris)

Has anyone had any of the Edy's GS cookie ice creams? I haven't but the Samoas one is pretty tempting.

oh I guess it's also called Dreyer's some places:

lol I obv didn't actually read the thread.

Oh no it's that good, huh? This could be dangerous.

IDK I haven't had it in three years.
I know this is evil to say, but I had Samoas for the first time in over a decade recently & they were heartbreakingly mediocre.

:( It's been ages since I've had them. Maybe I'll leave it that way so that they remain awesome in my memory.

I tried girl scout cookies for the first time ever this year. Thin Mints were disappointing. Samoas, on the other hand, are my new favourite thing ever...

New cookie this year. Savannah Smiles. They are fantastic

except it sounds like a stripper name

:)

a. and i have samoas and tagalongs on the kitchen counter right now. they're great as long as you don't look at the nutritional information.

My dad was a freelance house roofer and therefore could only have tried to sell cookies to things like air compressors, shingles and nail guns, and as everyone knows those things neither eat nor use currency

^^underrated post imo

Ordered six boxes the other week.

i get girl scout cookies every year, i've gradually narrowed it down to just do-si-do's

i tried the savanna smiles this year, they are dry and light enough to work well as a "dunk in your tea" cookie but i found the lemon flavor too sharp, acidic and artificial for my liking.

if you open a pack and let them sit too long they start to taste like lemonheads

otm. girl scouts website says cookies don't have transfats but it looks to me like they do from looking at the ingredients list??

you can saturate an unsaturated fat without ending up with a trans fat

so they are made in the same way as they make trans fats but they keep them from ending up "trans"

it is hard to get into the details w/o busting out the organic chemistry

ah thank you *inhales a box of tagalongs*

OTM. They are acidic in a way that is redolent of vomit to me. :(

i was just about to revive this thread! i got the last box of samoas today. and i've been putting them on mini martin's rolls with nutella and hating myself afterward

I don't know what mini martin's rolls are, but Samonas with Nutella sounds like something I would gladly give a limb for.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ACm5Moyi_QI/TBZHTQMDiDI/AAAAAAAADtU/2WiDYoR0Brc/s1600/Italian+Turkey+Sliders.jpg

i bought them and thought, what the hell do people put on these they are way too tiny, and then i bought samoas and my life was never the same

(runs out to buy mini martin's rolls)

i usually just buy martin's rolls and eat them as a snack bc they're the most delicious rolls

Wait, you made a samoas and nutella sandwich? That's amazing.

i just had another one. best discovery i've ever made.

had a couple of thin mints because there was a box in the kitchen at work, and they were pretty disappointing. i think usually i eat them pretty fast but this time i was only eating two so i was trying to savor them but then you realize that they're really dry and bland. samoas 4ever.

I had Samoas ice cream recently, was good but just made me want the real article.

NPR interviewed the author of a biography of the founder of the girl scouts a few weeks ago. someone called in and started shouting at her about how sick he was of being 'hassled' by co-workers to buy their kids' cookies.

can i have his job? i can take the "hassling."

i have a box of samoas and tagalongs in my office, they are really good

Tagalongs are delicious, specifically, that part in the middle where the peanut butter layer becomes thicker

fell off the wagon after learning you can use them for pie crust

2 x trefoils
2 x samoas
1 x do si dos
1 x tagalongs

2 x donated boxes

i like that you can donate boxes now

also got a few boxes earmarked for bribing students

we haven't bought these in years but my brother's neighbor was selling them so we bought a box of thin mints a++ as usual best frozen

lemonades are better than thin mints

plz
dropped 20 today, 2x mints, samoas, trefoils. make that paper gates girl scouts
