it's that time again! I haven't purchased any for the last couple years, so I feel like I should support the Girl Scouts of America this year. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
I love thin mints - in the freezer. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br>
And Samoa's.<br>
Someone told me the Lemonades are real good too.<br><br><img alt="walk.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/walk.gif">

Ooh, I want some too! Too bad no one's knocking on my door...

 

[Tamster]

No one knocks on my door either. Not even the jehovah witnesses . . .<br><br>
I think fewer and fewer GS's are actually going door to door anymore. I did when I was a girlscout, but I think it's becoming too much of a safety issue anymore. So, usually I see them outside stores like walmart or grocery stores.

I got my usual four boxes last week. 2 each of Tagalongs (chocolate covered peanut butter) and All Abouts (shortbread cookie with chocolate on one side). They reside in my desk at work since that's where I buy them, and they'll be there through April since I always forget I have them. <img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif">

They were in the supermarket walkway last Sunday. I told them that I would love to buy some but my Butt said I can't. They LOL at that and said I could donate to send cookies to the troops so I did that instead.<br><br>
I actually have half a sleeve of thin mints in my freezer. Not sure what year they are from.

DD was a scout for 10+ years. The GSA discourages door to door selling and prefer the cookies be sold via telephone (to family and friends) and at tables set up at stores.<br><br>
Never could get them to set up outside a liquor store. I still say they would have sold a ton!

....aaarrrrrggggghhhhh...........I can't Believe I Ate The Whole Thing......<br><br><br>
don't even know which kind I bought......they were yellow......<br><br><br>
......never<br>
have a box of these<br>
things even lasted OVERNITE at<br>
my house.....<br><br>
......maybe there's meetings I could go to.......

In Canada there are two versions. The traditional chocolate and vanilla are sold in the spring (big controversy a couple of years ago when they changed companies and the old company wouldn't give up the recipe claiming intellectual property) There is a sale of mint chocolate in the fall. The traditional ones are far more popular. When my daughter used to go door to door, she would get sales at 80% plus of the houses that opened their door. More addictive than crack cocaine. (am suggesting they use that as their slogan). Wish I could invent a product will the same appeal. At $4 a box they are not cheap, but they are very good.

I also love the Thin Mints fresh from the freezer. Yum!

 

[SLOjim]

Girl Scout Cookies are very evil.......<br><br><br>
I don't know how many times they've destroyed my diet plans.

 

[OrangeMat]

Thin Mints in the freezer? Why put an empty box there?

 

[JJJessee]

Thin Mints!!!<br>
1 box per serving.<br>
with quart and a half of milk.<br>
jjj

 

[Labduck]

Hmmm, I see an entrepreneur opportunity here. Next year I'll buy a case of Thin Mints and sell them at exorbitant prices to all the Kicksters. There's no danger in me eating them since they're not my favorites.<br><br>
I'll be rich! Rich I tell you!!

 

[canalrunner]

You will have to dress up in an uniform with a short skirt...but your plan should work.

[lyndenrunner]

Let me know how many boxes you want,I have 2 Girl Scouts here that would love to sell them to you...That way I don't have to eat them all...

......sometimes it Scares me when he does that.......

 

[rochrunner]

We used to track the ages of the kids in the neighborhood (at least the girls) by who came around selling cookies each year. This year I think that they've all aged out of it because nobody showed up. But at least I ended up buying a couple of boxes from the group in the foyer at Kroger's last week. Thin mints and the traditional shortbread cookies are my favorites.

 

[Opie]

Good comfort good. I ate several last night after my run.

 

[Tamster]

Gordon, I would definitely buy from your girls but I think the cost of mailing them to me would end up costing me more than I want to spend. darn! I'd much rather support a GS that I sort of know, through their dad, on a running forum, about 500 miles away . . . .<br><br>
Lab in a short skirt selling cookies eh?
