They don't do it for me anymore. I don't think the new cookie recipies they use are nearly as tasty as they were 30 years ago. The thin mints are still a fave with the rest of my house I guess. The rest are not great IMO.
Shoot, I just inhaled a sleeve of thin mints in about 15 minutes and the other sleeve is just laying here taunting me.
Keebler Mint cookies are better than theirs, and so are my from scratch oatmeal/cc cookies, so there! 
Sorry man, the only reason anybody thinks that thin mints are good is because the other 2 dozen different variety of cookies that the girl scouts sell taste like sweat soaked gym mats from 1983. They are good in the kind of way that McDonald's hamburgers are good at 2 AM when you are shmammered out of you mind but need to get something in your stomach so when you throw up, it doesn't come out your nose.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but waaaaaay too skinny. Somebody get that girl a sandwich. Or some cookies I guess.
This thread gave me a new date night idea.
I love a bunch of middle aged guys having a discussion about this woman, as if there is a chance she would be at all interested in them.
Ha ha b a

I would have to live to be 106 to be middle aged right now....and that ain't happening.
fwiw. some guys in our fraternity went out during a halloween in the mid 80's as 'Troop 69'.
This thread gave me a new date night idea.
they put on the skirts and the gear and got totally harassed by women at the clubs.
they loved it.
Sorry to come back from Fantasyland, but a question - do Girl Scouts actually sell Girl Scout cookies anymore? In my neck of the woods, outside of tables set up outside of retail stores which seems absent this year due to COVID, all I see is parents emailing or social media-ing friends asking them to buy cookies online and then parents delivering the cookies. Not sure the kids have much to do with the process. Maybe the parents should just donate the money and save the rest of us all the unnecessary calories.
I was on the campus for the University of South Dakota a few weeks ago (not scoping out college chicks cause that would be gross) and saw a table with 5-6 girls selling them, two moms overseeing it (not hawt ones either) and I asked if they do any door to door. They did not, but I didn't ask any follow ups.
If you're going to give, give directly to a troop. The cookies are an 800 million dollar a year racket. 60% of sales go toward their national offices, much of that for bloated salaries and overhead. Basically waste. Only 75c per box goes the the local troop.
So like the 1.9 trillion Covid Bill that puts about 75% of the funds toward things not Covid related. Got it
Not on my radar as things to care about. I bought one box of thin mints, my first in years.
yes it is. I was offered a 12 pack of microwave popcorn for $18 a few years back. I just gave the kid $10 and told him good luck with the sales. Please keep your popcorn, the most throw away food of all time.
Then our friends and relatives call us asking to buy garbage out of a catalog on behalf of little Johnny. If your kid doesn't have the gumption to ask for a sale directly, I'm going to pass. Not sorry.
That's right. And there is barely any debate over what this means for the future. So if we squander money today and reach into the future for more, does there ever come a point where this scam no longer works? We need the money now, so let's do what we have to. Don't bore me with the details. Uh oh.
Bail out your buddies, lie about it endlessly, point fingers and put a label on those who oppose you, rinse, repeat.
You're 100% right. But she still looks like a pair of balloons tied to a broom handle!
