Trefoils are my second favorite, after Samoas.
They are my third favorite, after Thin Mints and Samoas. Then probably tagalongs.
Apparently there's a smores cookie and a toffee cookie now? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/01/17/girl-scout-cookies-2020-flavors-thin-mints-samoas-differ-us/4487968002/
It seems they rotate other flavors.
I tried the smores last year. Boring...
Is the toffee the gluten-free one?
Looks like it is. I wonder if the price is different because of that.0 -

Yes. I tried one of those...someone else had bought a box. The taste was okay but the texture is very dry and crumbley.0 -

Meh. Would have preferred a toffee cookie to be chewy with crunchy toffee bits.0 -
Even though I like Girl Scout cookies, this grosses me out every time I see it in the grocery store...

They're $6 instead of the $5. I actually really like the toffee ones.
I'm looking forward to trefoils, tagalongs refrigerated, do si dos...
I LOVE the thanks a lot but we don't get them in my region. I have to hope one of our clients brings one or two packages (if we even have girl scout clients anymore. They grow up so fast *sniffle*)
I buy a box of savannahs for a different taste.
I'd like the samoas better without the coconut.

Ohhhh, I've had the Thanks a Lots once. I think it was a cousin in New York we bought cookies from. I had to look them up to remember but those are definitely good.0 -
If a Girl Scout rings my doorbell, I shall purchase two boxes of Thin Mints. No Samoas or Tagalongs this year.
Already rethinking the Samoas. Maybe one box.
I should say that it's unlikely a Girl Scout WILL ring my doorbell. Previous years I've bought from a co-worker, but that is no longer applicable.
Girl Scouts sell them at my church. I will buy one box of Thin Mints and one of Samoas (I do this every year).0 -

I get mine at the local grocery store. The girl scouts will usually have a table set up with cookies.1 -

They used to carry shortbread cookies covered in chocolate, those were my favorites.
Honestly, I can't think of any GS cookie I dislike.
Kinda glad they're so expensive and I don't know anyone who sells them anymore.
Here, they have the girls set up booths at different locations (retailers like grocery stores) and they sell them throughout the cookie selling season. It’s a good cause, so I usually buy some.
They set up outside the grocery stores here too.
They don't go door to door here that I've noticed. In my old neighborhood there were too many multiunit condo buildings and you'd never get trick or treaters either, but now I get lots of trick or treaters so I just assume they've all realized that it's way more efficient to sell at grocery stores (as well as churches for those troops that meet out of a church or church school).1 -
I like to dip the short bread ones and the smores one in a cup of coffee - yum. I usually see the girl scouts at my local Kroger and buy a couple boxes but they haven't been there yet that I've seen. I usually buy about 5 boxes, including 2 thin mints because I always give one to my dad

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 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.

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
