    Only the ones that are made with real Girl Scouts.

    I am sure that would be better nutritionally. Seriously, can't the Girl Scouts get a grip and sell something that doesn't feel the obesity epidemic.

    Tagalongs are the devil! They are engineered to make you want more while your still chewing them!

    I usually buy 15 boxes every year - 5 each of Thin Mints, Tagalongs, and Samoas. This year I only bought 1 box of each. I am separating them into individual serving-size bags, and I'm only allowed to have one serving, only on days that I work out enough calories to counteract, and when they're gone, they're gone.

    The best way to avoid them is to hold up a crucifix and hiss at the girl scouts on your way in and out of the grocery store.

    I have to wear garlic around my neck when I walk down the street. I get the jitters every time I hear a radioflyer wagon approaching.

    I could eat a whole box of samoas in one sitting. Hence, I do not buy them.

    I CANNOT FIND ANY GIRL SCOUTS!!!!!!

    Seriously, all I want is one box of Samoas. I freeze then and then nurse one a day and it takes like 15 minutes to scrape miniscule amounts of frozen caramel and cookie off the edges. If you get greedy, the caramel glues your teeth together and then it takes that long for it to melt and unstick your jaw so you have to take it reaalllllly slow.

    I was accosted by the Girl Scouts at the grocery store. Since I was a leader, cookie mom, and even cookie manager I am forced to buy them. I limited to 2 boxes and ate 2-4 per day. Happily they are gone and hopefully I won't run across anymore. It does take a lot of self control but it is that way with everything although I have to admit I try to not buy junk then I'm not tempted.

    My daughter is a girl scout. Instead of buying them for the house we donate to troops and the local homeless shelters. It saves us the calories and feels good to do something nice and help my DDs troop.


    This is awesome!! The Girl Scouts need support and if you don't want to eat the cookies yourself... donating them is a great alternative!! It's a win win situation!!

    Too true! I bought 10 boxes (to support a former student). Ate 3.5, then I took all the willpower I had, threw away 1/2 box, and gave away the other 6. I made my best friend's kids very happy and the scale is doing what I want it to. But GS cookies are still evil.

    If a 'sitting' is 5 minutes or less...that was me. I use the word 'WAS', because I cannot trust myself with just ONE samoa or even ONE box of samoa. Thin MInts are just a chaser, when the samoas are gone. I know my addiction.

    Unbelieve as it may seem...when I was a child and a girl scout, we went door to door with a wagon. We had only one kind of cookie back then. At some point in time, it occured to me that I could stand outside the local Safeway and ask folks to buy my cookies, unstead of the ones in the store. No one ran me off, and I sold more cookies that year than any other girl scout in San Diego County.

    No other scouts in my area were doing such a 'pushy thing' back in the early 50's. Do you suppose that I started something? ; )

    My mother is still active in the girl scouts. Helps girls with their gold awards. She says they don't go door to door anymore due to safety concerns

    I was a Campfire girl and we sold mints that were wonderful in hot chocolate. I don't even know if Campfire Girls even exist anymore since they allowed Campfire boys. Buncha boys who like to dress up like Hiawatha and Sacajawea? :sad: :noway:

    My kid went door to door, and she's not the only one in her troop who did. As a matter of fact, they encourage door to door selling in their cookie selling materials.

    The other day I met a Girl Scout with a credit card reader on her phone. You cannot tell me that they are not agents of evil...
