Three boxes of Thin Mints. They are delivering them to my door tomorrow evening. And, NO, I don't have enough for everyone.

(8,462 posts)you have to eat them by the box, otherwise the thin doesn't work.

I can no longer enjoy them since reading the ingredients label.

(16,383 posts)I honestly can't walk by them at the entrance to grocery stores. They are so cute. I most always stop and pick up another box or two. Some I take to work, some I give to my boys, some I freeze, but most I nom.

(53,339 posts)The better to go with adult beverages, apparently. Local news did a story Wednesday about a bar in Long Beach, CA that serves Girl Scout cookies with beer (they recommend stout with Thin Mints).
Recently there was another story about a woman who pairs GSC with wine. There are a lot of net links on these beer or wine pairings for GSC but I didn't pursue more info, intending to stick with milk or coffee for my pairing.

(56,828 posts)And, my daughter was in girl scouts for a few years. But, I've never liked any of their cookies. Thin mints and the plain shortbread ones are kind of tolerable, and the others I strongly dislike.
My favorite cookies are chocolate chips. I also like those sugar cookies my mom used to make for Christmas. Heck, I like oatmeal cookies more, and those molasses cookies I can buy at Starbucks.
Laffy Kat
(16,383 posts)None of those "chewy" cookies for me. Nope. I like my cookies like I like my men: crispy and dipped in milk.
