Yes. Thought they're not even worth it anymore. They changed the recipe years ago, the cookie part is crumbly and tasteless and the cookie is half the size it used to be.ThickMcRunFast wrote: »dafuq is a peanut butter patty? Is that like some kind of communist Tagalong?
This is why you must find a girl scout troop who is still using the Little Brownie Bakers. then you can still get actual tagalongs, samoas, trefoils and do-si-dos. Otherwise your stuck with nasty imitations: peanut butter patties, caramel delights, shortbread cookies and whatever they call the do-si-dos imitations. Thin mints are thin mints regardless of who makes them (but the little brownie bakers ones are so much better).

Also, on a lighter note, Girl Scout cookies are expensive and not even that good. C'mon now.

is it pretty bad that was my thought too??? lol
That's the horrible part. I thought "Well, no serious harm done." and yet that fact itself is what makes it tempting to get another box. For now I can just skip lunch and be okay on calories. Am I going to reason that skipping dinner is good next? If they were more calorie dense it would be better I think. It's on the verge of not being terrible but still being bad. Coupled with the supply that I have to walk by every time I get up it's a real storm.
How many of you here could avoid the temptation if you had a box in your bedroom, car, or RIGHT BESIDE YOUR DESK!? It's not an easy thing to avoid. It's not like I'm going to the store to get these. They're here at work! I can see at least 12 more boxes while I'm typing this.
OP, which do you want more, that 2nd box of cookies or to be thinner? You've already indulged, so now it's time to move on.
I keep candy on my desk for my coworkers, and I bring snacks for myself that are filling and tasty, while still satisfying my sweet tooth. Do you pack snacks? If you don't, you need to start, it makes things easier.
Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!
I know the answer to this question!0 -

I'm okay with that. I am terrible with queues...and not a frequent poster.0 -

Truthfully, I haven't eaten one in probably 2 years. I was fit to be tied when they reduced the size, inflated the price and had the NERVE to let Yankee Candle use their cookie names for cookie-scented candles. Insanity.0 -

Since we're being serious: I hate oreos. Hate. Them.
And light beer is a heinous abuse of natural resources.0 -
Yes. Thought they're not even worth it anymore. They changed the recipe years ago, the cookie part is crumbly and tasteless and the cookie is half the size it used to be.ThickMcRunFast wrote: »dafuq is a peanut butter patty? Is that like some kind of communist Tagalong?
This is why you must find a girl scout troop who is still using the Little Brownie Bakers. then you can still get actual tagalongs, samoas, trefoils and do-si-dos. Otherwise your stuck with nasty imitations: peanut butter patties, caramel delights, shortbread cookies and whatever they call the do-si-dos imitations. Thin mints are thin mints regardless of who makes them (but the little brownie bakers ones are so much better).
Wait, the cookies I grew up loving still exist?

I'll look for LBB this spring though... just in case.0 -
Girl scout cookies taste better than waffles0

The sad thing is that this guy at work has more of them and I'm tempted to buy another box.
130 calories for 2 cookies. 7 servings in a box. That's 910 calories. How do I stop eating more?
Any cookies you enjoy that much are so good the calories you burn enjoying them leave you in a deficit.
True science. Eat away.0 -

I get it but really? No one else can keep you from eating them. Soooo just don't.
Best response ever. Exactly what I was thinking.0 -

is that a type of jelly bean?0 -
Aldi sells all the Girl Scout flavored cookies for $1.79, and they're good. (Don't send a pack of angry Girl Scouts after me.)

My Grandmother was a part of the very first Girl Scouts and my family has contributed to the foundation of the Girl Scouts. My mom was a girl scout troop leader and was responsible for ordering all of our cookies.
There was once an eff up with the ordering (where we got it from both manufacturors) and we were in an area that has both options. We were left with about 8 large boxes (filed with 12? 14? boxes of cookies). We sold a TON but had all those left overs.
My point is... having eaten a crap ton of girl scout cookies from BOTH, my entire life.... There is NOT as big of a difference between the two as people make it out to be. Caramel De Lites are better than samoas a LITTLE bit because they have a more caramelly and lighter chocolate taste, and peanut butter patties are better than tag-a-longs because they are more milk chocolatey. Even though this is the case, i guarantee if you gave these to someone and didnt tell them which one they came form they wouldn't say anything.
Both are great. The difference is minimal. I don't think theres a big enough difference to justify elitism 0
