Do you like girl scout cookies?

[brainhulk]

Or do you buy just to support the little girls?

 

[waggy]

no. i think the cookies suck ass and are expensive for what you get.

 

[SheHateMe]

I like them. I used to be a Girl Scout when I was little. The cookies were much cheaper then.

The Samoas are the best!

This. Plus I get fed up with people in my office, everyone with a daughter in girl scouts tries to sell this crap to me and rest of the staff.

 

[disappoint]

They make cookies out of girls scouts now?

 

[Craig234]

Love the mint ones and others are good. Yes, some sellers are obnoxious.

 

[4eigner]

Thin mints are pretty tasty. Plus, the girlfriend likes them so bonus points for me when I bring her some.

 

[IronWing]

No, they suck and they teach girls that store-bought cookies are an acceptable alternative to homemade cookies, not something I like to encourage.

Try this some time:

Step 1: Take thin mints, put them in the freezer.
Step 2: Take frozen thin mints and dice/crush into semi-large pieces (not powder - which is why freezing them helps, if you try to crush while warm they just crumble into dust).
Step 3: Add Thin Mint Chunks to bowl of plain chocolate ice cream.
Step 4: Enjoy godly deliciousness.

The mint ones are okay, but they are VERY expensive for the package size. And the girls who do the work get a very small percentage of the money. Most of it goes to the manufacturer, advertising and the the Girl Scouts higher ups.

I like Samoas the most. Although you can buy them anytime; Keebler sells them under the brand name "Coconut Dreams."

yeah.

The girls get $.50 per box sold. Even then they changed the rules on the troops amount last year and i'm not 100% sure how much the troop itself gets.

Used to be the troop got the money then sent in what counsel gets. now you send EVERYTHING to counsel and they decide how your troop gets. Think they base it on size of troop now.

not sure how it is now. just remember the Troop leader (she quite because of all the BS they are doing) said it hurt them.

Not even. Our troop gets $0.23/box. The rest goes to council, national & production. But mostly the fatass rich "non-profit" asshats on council that are closing everything down because "it costs too much to run". (Maybe cut your paychecks down to pay for stuff?)

somoas and thin mints all the way. those things own.

how much are they now a days? last time i bought any of these was back when my sister was a girl scout like 15+ years ago. it was $2.50 per box. i remember thin mints had like 40 cookies in the box too (2 stacks of 20) and the samoas only had like 13 or so cookies in the pack.

we just sold cookies for $4 a box. BUT it depends on area.

edit: my dad lives down south. he paid $6 a box! A buddy of mine lives in Chicago area he paid $5.50

$3.50 in our region, $4.00 in others afaik.

 

[purbeast0]

ah that's not that bad. i'd buy a few as long as they haven't skimped on how many come in the box.

 

[CPA]

I love them and the price is not much different than getting Keebler or Oreos.

Plus, a portion of the money goes to funding the Girl Scouts, a private organization, so it doesn't go out and get tax money, like many youth organizations.

 

[shortylickens]

They used to be a dollar a box which was a fine bargain.

Yup. These were the only ones I would wait all year to buy, now I don't have to!

 

[Wyndru]

Samoas and Tagalongs are my favorites.

 

[BUTCH1]

I like 'em OK but I hate pay now get later, this is America, the land of instant gratification..

 

[bigrash]

Yes, I like them. The lemon one is my favorite.

Thin mints are chocolate covered crack.

No. Their cookies are shit. I've had a few FB friends post on my page to pimp their kids cookies. I post a picture of Grumpy cat saying, "No." in response to every post.
