We ordered probably 10 boxes -- a buncha Thin Mints, some Trefoils for the Old Lady, my precious Samoas, some All-Abouts and a coupla Do-Si-Dos. My parents ordered 12 boxes, but at the last minute my mom called and said, "You know, we don't really eat those cookies, so why don't you just keep them." Thanks mom -- I'll name my soon to be prolapsed rectum after you.
Mr. Z created a pretty bitchin' chart of the cookies we have hangin' around, waiting to be et:
If you look closely at the "All Abouts," he changed the cookie text to read "Girlscouts is (not) all about girls." You go, Mr. Z -- Title IX works both ways! My little Norma Rae.
Ow -- cramp! Holy fuck, these cookies are killing me. What are these girls putting in these fuckers? Let's see... partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil... dextrose... carrageenan... Carrageenan?! What the fuck are brownies doing messin' around with carrageenan? Isn't that made by boiling the flayed hides of dead Webelos?
That does it, one more sleeve of Thin Mints and then I'm cutting myself off for the night. And maybe eight more Samoas. And three Tagalongs... but then that's it. And a Do-Si-Do.

Take heart that at least you still get the cookies by their cool names. In Chicago the cookies have all been "rebranded" with names that are "informative of their flavor". Samoas are not Carmel D'Lites; Tagalongs = Peanut Butter Patties; Trefoils = Short Bread Cookies; Do-Si-Dos = Peanut Butter Sandwiches. BORING! And, if you need more, I've got 24 unsold boxes in my trunk that I'm trying to unload! ha ha
Thin mints are over-rated (good, but over-rated), but give me a samoa and I'm a happy camper.
Sounds like the GS cookies have undergone an ethnic cleansing similar to when Sambo's turned into Denny's. What IS this world coming to?
CD, I think you're meant to eat the cellophane as well as the cookies to prevent, um, a backlog.
I don't often see girl scouts roaming the streets of NYC, so I've experience a dearth of GS cookies. But in the kitchen at work, they provide a sub-par thin mint ripoff created in some tree in Jersey by the Keebler Elves. In the battle of elves vs. Scouts, little girls kick elf ass.
This is genius. I went home from work early in 1995 because I ate too many Thin Mints and my old boss and I laugh about it to this day. Genius!
