The pangs if breakfast hunger...you do quench
The chocolate of thy Thin Mint, doth calm the stomach
How is it that I am worthy to partake in this ambrosia, known to mortals as Samoas
The gullet to thy soul weeps tears of joy, lest unworthiness
This gift, oh heavenly Girl Scout, shall not be forgotten

I got started on the second sleeve of a box of Thin Mints the other day before I even realized it. Those things are crack to me. I threw the rest in the trash because I didn't want to die in a mound of Thin Mint vomit.

mmm I can't wait till I get mine. They are indeed crack, and I believe they definitely have crack as a secret ingredient.

Haven't had a GS come around in the past few years selling them. Makes me sad, I love those little cookies :(

The few times I saw girl scouts they were out of Samoas and Thin Mints. The one time I saw them, I didn't have any cash on me. :( Anyone wanna send me a box of Samoas?

Cheapskate. It's a donation to support a great organization, not a discount cookie company.

Maybe so, but I'd much rather give them an outright donation (which I won't because I'm cheap like that) than pay for overpriced cookies where the Girl Scouts would be lucky to get half of what they sell the cookies for.

Just sayin.

I have finished off the six boxes I had (2 Thin Mints, 2 Tagalongs, 2 Samoas).

I like the Tagalongs the best so far.

Have six more boxes due in next week (2 Cinnaspins, 2 Peanut Butter Sandwich, 1 Lemonades, 1 Thanks-A-Lot).

You've apparently missed the point of buying overpriced cookies. I buy them and happily pay the money because I not only love the cookies, but don't mind helping fund the programs for the Girlscouts. :)

They better be frozen... otherwise good bye friend... If you eat them frozen you will not stop until you die or you run out of little girls to buy them from...
