How do you feel about margaritas?
Margaritas are God's gift to alcohol... :drinker:5 -
Fortunately I have no taste for girl scout cookies in the least. I find them kind of gross actually. Way over processed. Lucky me!4

My daughter is selling them this year. We bought 10 boxes...1

We had a client come in yesterday with her kid aged entourage and I came so close to asking if they were girl scouts 😀 My boss buys like maybe $150 worth of cookies a year.
I still buy from random troops camped out in front of my grocery store, tho.2 -

I have done this in the past when my granddaughter was a girl scout and sold the cookies.1 -

I love margaritas. I have cut back on my alcohol these days so do not think I will be drinking enough to start eating gs cookies.
I have tried to like them. I see everyone raving about them but to me the worst store bought cookie is still better.2 -

They basically *are* the store bought cookies. One of the bakeries, Little Brownie Bakers, is a subsidiary of Keebler.4 -

Oddly enough I have no taste for most store bought cookies (they never attract me, I never buy them), but I do like some girl scout cookies. I sold them back in the day, so I'm sure it's sentimental. I love buying a few yearly, and I would never want to stop enjoying them, although they also are not a food I have trouble moderating.0 -
I think it's also a factor for me that they are not always available. I can get Oreos at any store, but I can't just pick up a box of Thin Mints whenever I want them. It makes it seem more like a special treat.2

Didn't buy any last year, but this year I got 1 mint and 1 trefoil from a co-worker's daughter. Still unopened here in one of my drawers at work. Will probably take one home and put it in the freezer tonight and leave the other one at work. Will have to avoid the little dealers (LOL) when they have their booths at the grocery over the next few weeks.0

So, looking at my boxes - thin mints are 160 calories for a 4 cookie serving size and the trefoils are 160 calories for a 5 cookie serving size. Easy enough for me to moderate and not eat one entire sleeve in one sitting like I would in the past!1

Clearcutting rainforests for palm plantations. I try to tell my self that for every box I don't buy I'm saving an orangutan. Sometimes it helps...
Actually... some Girl Scouts tackled this issue. They only use palm oil from companies that had adopted zero-deforestation policies now.

I like to think of it less as buying a box of cookies and more about funding the next generation of movers and shakers.2 -

Yes, love them all but my top three are Samoas, Thin Mints, and Tagalongs.1

Ok, so I really don't like mint so never had a thin mint. One day, at work, I was desperate for some chocolate. Like REALLY desperate. So I tried a thin mint. I planned on eating around the outside and just getting the chocolate but one nibble and ewwwwwwwwwww the mint is strong in that one.
I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth all day.
The end.1 -
No girl scout cookies in my country 😭2
