It is the time of year where cute little girls in the cute little uniforms peddle extremely over priced minature boxes of cookies....

It is sooo hard to resist and say NO!

My little cousins both attempted to get me to purchase... 3 people at work attempted to get me to purches.... I resisted....

What is it about these amazing little cookies that make them hard to resist?

If I open a box they are gone in less then 2 hrs.

Also how is it possible to get 70 calories in 1 bite sized cookie? Is it pure lard and sugar?

Thus ends my rant on girl scout cookies.... what are your thoughts?

Made by the devil treats or tasty delights?

    I get guilted into buying them by my coworkers....I only buy flavors that I don't like (lemon ew) and send them off to work with my husband.

    It's when the box of cookies is open in the office (caramel delights....drool) that I get in trouble.....

    I saved up my calories so I could eat my box of Tagalongs this weekend. :) They're good, and 70 calories is pretty reasonable for a cookie, isn't it? If you don't want to eat them, maybe you could just donate money to the Girl Scouts when they ask? You don't have to take the cookies.

    The old vanilla ones use to be delicious. They're just not the same anymore. I use to HAVE to have them and now I just don't care.

    I always buy the cookies, I was a Girl Scout and the cookie sales help the girls go on awesome educational trips.

    I will figure them into my daily caloric limit. The cookies are cheaper then the Camp Fire candy anyway....and I can get 'mint patties' and 'almond rocas' any time of the year...the Girl Scout cookies are only made by/for Girl Scouts.

    That box of Tagalongs did me in yesterday. The worst part as I ate them I kept thinking these don't really taste that good. The chocolate didn't have any real flavor and the peanutbutter was bland. Next time I'm just gonna pass and make homemade cookies without all the preservatives and junk and enjoy something tasty.

    nom nom nom!!! My brother ordered 7 boxes and i am sooooooo looking forward to them, hehe.

    i'm glad it will be warmer out when they come 'cause it will be easy to burn them off with a long bike ride :)

    I hope to someday trust myself around Thin Mints but the time is not here yet. Maybe next year.

    Sounds pretty miserable! I eat everything I want at holidays and still lose weight very well. Why cut yourself off completely from things you love?

    But now we even have to ignore them at the store because Keebler has come out with knock-offs. "Coconut Dreams"...or something like that is the exact Samoa Girl Scout cookie (which was my favorite). I thought to myself...this year I can resist the girl scout cookies...only to see them staring at me on a grocery shelf. Oh yeah...Keebler also makes a chocolate mint cookie that is exactly like the thin mints!
