Which is your favorite Girl Scout cookie?

[CTyankee]

Can't make this a poll because there are only 10 poll slots and there are 12 varieties of Girl Scout Cookies...

For me, it is a tie between Thin Mints and Samoas.

1. Do-si-dos are a little dry, but I love the peanut filling. Thin mints are probably the best...

I have not tried about six of those listed though and the ones I bought this year went straight to friends and family, since I am avoiding sugar...

Good luck, Girl Scouts, though. ....And to hell with those RW factions trying to smear them.

[FBaggins]

2. There is no valid debate

Thin mints from the freezer.

Second place is up for grabs... But well down the scale.

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

3. Tie between Thin Mints and Samoas.

[mackerel]

47. Yep

[shenmue]

4. Peanut butter Tagalongs

Made by the angels.

[Brigid]

6. If you want something peanut butter made by angels . . .

Try Newman's Own peanut butter cups. Mmmmmm.

[fizzgig]

12. this is the only correct answer

except they were peanut butter patties when i sold them.

[Stellar]

19. my favorites also.

Haven't had any since I retired years ago, when my coworkers sold them for grand/children. yum!

[Brigid]

5. Samoas.

[Paper Roses]

7. This old timer votes for Thin Mints.

Back in the --believe it--1950's I was a girl scout. Won the regional contest for most boxes sold.
Yup! Thin Mints at 25 cents a box! Still love them but I think they tasted better in the old days. I know they were thinner.

Kindly don't give too much thought to the price then. Things are not the same and I know it.I went door to door and sold a ton of them plus the few other flavors available at the time. We even had to deliver them. I don't know how things are done now. I see the Girl Scouts in front of our local banks and grocery stores selling the cookies. Smaller boxes. Over $4.00 a box, no delivery. Oh how things have changed.

Life can be gauged on things as simple as Girl Scout cookies. Sigh......

[DebJ]

10. Yes back then there was more cookie than box. n/t

[CTyankee]

14. Did they stop going door to door for fear of child molesters?

I could certainly understand parents' fears.

It's wonderful how sure of themselves these Girl Scouts are, tho. I credit the organization for teaching them to stand up for themselves. The girls who were at my supermarket selling them were terrific. They had strong confidence and were loving the experience. Of course, who can resist buying those cookies...I did notice that one of their troop leaders were on hand...not hovering but just "there" for them. My supermarket made every effort to make them feel comfortable inside with a little table and chairs. Good for community relations. And they were situated right where you are about the exit the store...hard to walk past and ignore...I hope they made a a lot of money...

31. They came to my door recently

That hadn't happened in years. But these were the daughters of a neighbor in the apartment building, and their mother was with them.

[CTyankee]

32. Aw, that's nice. Thanks.

[mythology]

41. Not according to the official Girl Scout website

So individual parents or troops might discourage door to door sales due to fears of the random stranger child molester, but not the organization as a whole.

My guess is that it's easier to sell cookies from a centralized location than going door to door. For example I've seen them set up outside a grocery store. It makes it easier for them to sell as an impulse buy and not have to lug boxes around. Plus a group of two or three girl scouts can staff a booth with one parent rather than each scout needing a parent to go with them around the neighborhood.

8. Samoas!

[Little Star]

9. Thin Mints.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. The old thin mints were great.

The new ones are smaller and kind of waxy. I also loved the old Savannahs. By "old" I mean when I was selling Girl Scout cookies myself, several decades ago. Seems like all the new cookies are smaller and less flavorful. Or maybe it's just me; guess I'll go yell at some kids to get off my lawn.

[antiquie]

13. Cranberry Citrus Crisps

[LynneSin]

15. Wait, they aren't offering the 'Instant Lesbianism Cookies' or 'Aborted Egg Chips' cookies?

I mean the way the fundies are howling that was what I was expecting this year.

[NewJeffCT]

16. You get those free if you buy a whole case

so, only the best customers get them.

[CTyankee]

17. That makes sense.

Gawd, these RWingers...they have truly lost their minds...

[LynneSin]

34. So is that why I'm straight and never had an abortion...

didn't buy enough girl scout cookies

I knew there was a reason

[elleng]

18. SAMOA!!!

Thin Mints are good too.

[CTyankee]

20. I'm eating my fair share today! I also like the oatmeal raisin but they were out of

them. All 3 of my granddaughters were Girl Scouts. They were well supported in their community. Lots of families with daughters were involved. It was a very nice experience for all of them...

[elleng]

21. I haven't bought any this year, yank.

Been buying chocolate at Trader Joe's instead!

[CTyankee]

22. No girl scouts there, ellen? That's too bad...

[elleng]

24. I passed by them there, yank.

I'm BAD!!!

[CTyankee]

26. Aww...

I can't resist...

[elleng]

27. I wouldn't have, but I had my chocolates!

AND it was cold (last weekend,) and I didn't have cash handy for them.

[CTyankee]

28. Luckily, I had enough cash to take care of it...such a pleasure...

I now buy my groceries with cash because I believe I save more money when I know my cash limit. And the girls were in the supermarket so I used up some cash I hadn't spent and bought a $4 box of cookies. It was a nice feeling.

[elleng]

29. That was nice.

I only use my debit card, so there's a similarly built in cash limit as you have.

[CTyankee]

33. I never use my debit card. And I limit my credit cards to two: one general and one for

gas and other car related costs (I can track it better that way). I do not have a credit card that doesn't give me something back and I pay full balance every billing period.
Life skills. Everyone should have them...but we all have to learn them...

[Laffy Kat]

23. Thin Mints, hands down. nt

[NightWatcher]

25. Thin Mints when I'm snacky and Savannah Smiles when I'm stoned

Sing that line to the tune of this.

[TeeYiYi]

30. Thin Mints...

...no contest.

As far as a poll, you could put three of the weird flavors as 'other.' I would probably put Cranberry Citrus Crisps, Thank U Berry Munch and Thanks-A-Lot in the 'other' category.

TYY

[Skittles]

35. I like do-si-dos and thin mints

yes INDEED

[femmocrat]

36. I bought Tagalongs and the new toffee cookie today.

Both are good, but Samoas is my fave.

[sakabatou]

37. Thin Mints (chilled) and Tagalongs

[mucifer]

38. Thin Mints, They are vegan!

[DeSwiss]

39. As long as they're Real Girlscout Cookies©

- Who cares!

K&R

[Jamaal510]

40. Samoa's and Lemon. nt

[Kali]

42. the little shits have modernized!

tried the "Oh I don't have any cash right now" and they took credit cards! I got sold 5 boxes "to make it an even 20"

sharp little saleswoman got me good.


THIN MINTS. there is no poll needed!

[KMOD]

43. So many,

I rarely eat cookies now, but if I do indulge, these are my favorites in order,

Samoas
The Lemon ones, but I think our area has a different name for them than Lemonades
Do-si-dos
Thin Mints
Tagalongs

I've never had the cranberry citrus crisps, but they sound awesome, and I think they would be my favorite if I tried them.

[OriginalGeek]

44. Thin Mints/Shortbread/Tagalongs

in that order. IF I am visiting a friend or relative and they offer me a Lemonade I will accept it graciously but secretly damn them for their non-thin-mint-having ways.

[HeiressofBickworth]

45. I'm feeling left out

The little rug-rat I bought Samoas from only had 4 choices of cookies. Are there regional differences?

[A HERETIC I AM]

46. The kind with the little bits of Girl Scout toes sticking out....

and hunks of lips and whatnot.

I want my Girl Scout Cookies made WITH REAL GIRL SCOUTS, DAMMIT!
