4. I've never tried them either.
They look good.

I'm not sure if they'll make it home.
:D

6. For some reason I bought only one box of them!
Clearly I must have been suffering from some form of mental disorder that day.

11. If I asked my wife to hide them..
she'd 'hide them' in her tummy!

Which happens to be where I plan on hiding them!

:D

9. If I had a child who sold them....

So yummy.

12. I've got an open box next to my computer right now.
I swear, it's talking to me.
Something about 'num-nums' and 'hasn't it been too long since the last cookie?'

13. There must be regional differences
Carmel deLites = Samoas.

Peanut Butter Patties = Tagalongs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Scout_cookie

My daughter is a scout - we sold 155 boxes. We're sending about 25 boxes to our good friend who's stationed in Iraq. Hope he has friends, or he's going to be FAT!

14. For those cookies, people will make friends with him!
They used to use the old cookie names until recently up here.
Not sure why they changed them.

16. There are regional differences even with the same named cookies.
There used to be three different companies authorized to make official Girl Scout Cookies -- don't know if that's true any more.

I buy Trefoils and Thin Mints every year -- the other flavors I'm fickle about. Tagalongs are good.

15. Samoas and "Caramel Delites"
Samoas were my favorite - these "Caramel Delites" do not delight me. :( They just don't taste quite right. :shrug:

18. I didn't realize there was a difference until today.
Damn, mine don't have dark chocolate.

Oh well, I'll still scarf them down.

24. That's awful.
I'm sorry.

If you really want them, you can go to the girl scout cookie website, post your zip code and...
well, I'm not sure what, but I'm sure it leads to cookies!

28. When I was a kid, I loved Samoas...
but I grew tired of those, and I really didn't like the coconuts on it, so I've been a shortbread addict ever since. I got one more packet left, and I'm saving those for my birthday tomorrow!

33. Piker!!!!
We've done 2 cases already. (They freeze really well) And will probably get another case before the sale is over.

Of course, I was a Cadette leader/Senior advisor for 20 years and know just how much the cookie sale means to the troops.
