Girl Scout Cookies are Evil

We have 4 boxes here!!!!!!! I have been trying to avoid them at all costs. I even put one box into my bf's lunch to take to work.

So true, luckily I have 3 boys and a husband that devoured the ones I bought

Honestly, to me they taste cheap. As in lower quality. I'm lucky in that I can't stand Girl Scout cookies. Never could.

I came to that realization! It was a sad day, because I sold them when I was a Girl Scout and got to eat all the cookies I wanted with no weight gain. le sigh. I think of dessert as an investment now, and if I'm eating it, it better be satisfying and damn good. Three Do Si Dos and you're done? What?

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.

You all sound like you are doing a good job of avoiding those things. I decided to do a 1 day indulge. I ate half a box of tag alongs, then gave the rest to a guy in the office. A ridiculous binge? Yes, but I did it and I was done. I think that if I would not have done it, I would still be obsessing over them. They are EVERYWHERE!

DO NOT BUY THEM. I havent bought them in years. just dont do it. if they were in my house i would eat them all.

Donate them to a worthy cause.


<---- worthy cause



Seriously no one even tried to sell me any this year. I love the peanut butter ones. :sad:

My wife is the "cookie mom" for my daughter's troop this year - I have 2 pallets of them in my garage that I have to sneak past to get to my bench and treadmill.

I'm glad they're available for a limited period of time.

Evil, wicked, mean and nasty if you ask me. My daughters, nieces, friends and co-workers have bilked me out of hundreds of dollars over the years. I'm having a problem with how expensive they've gotten the last few years. I know, I know... a worthy cause, it's for the kids, etc. and etc. I sure do miss the shortbread ones though. :-)

They're so evil that I would eat them in a box and I would eat them with a fox. I would eat them in a house...I would eat them with a mouse. I would eat them here or there...I would eat them anywhere. Especially the caramel and chocolate, coconut cookies. :devil:

This is definitely the way to go. My daughter is selling them as well. To support her, we bought several boxes and donated them. Those and other donated boxes are going to the Oregon Air National Guard troops overseas. It's a great way to support both kinds of troops, and you don't have to have boxes at home tempting you!

I'm lucky in that Do-Si-Dos are the favorite of both my dad & myself so I had one serving (with ice cold milk of course!) and gave the rest of the box to him.

I feel good because I got a taste that fit into my day and showed a great willpower win by then giving the rest away! Call it a NSV if you will, lol!

I was a Daisy/Brownie/Junior Girl Scout as a kid (I still have my Brownie sash full of badges) so I'm happy to support them. My dad still tells stories of the boxes and boxes of cookies that filled his office for months when my mom volunteered to be Cookie Mother one year, lol!

Somehow I"ve managed to actually stick with the "serving size" of Thin Mints, four at a time. I'm actually finding it enough.

It's weird. Maybe I'm sick. Or dying. :drinker:

I did the same thing today I had 4 thin mints
