Oh my!

The Girl Scout cookies have arrived! Now when I sold them peanut better creams were peanut butter creams..now they call them do-si-dos...what's up with that? lol

Anybody else buy Girl Scout cookies? What's your favorite?

 

I love the chocolate mint!

 

Chocolate mints. Very addictive cookie.

 

my mom is one of the directors and is a troop leader with my sister...we always have GS cookies laying around. the thin mints and the peanut butter ones are the best.

 

Country/barn dancing actually

Maybe it's related to clog dancing, which is funny, because I just ordered a pair from Avon

 

Girl Scout cookies are called different things depending on which bakery they come from (there are two). Why I know that is beyond me.

Caramel Delights, Shortbread, and the lemon ones are my favourites.

But alas, for I don't know any girl scouts any more, they've all either grown up or moved away.

 

Yes...as in "ding dong" ...they sell everything nowadays...but not Twix Nor GS cookies

Pop bought two boxes of those damned things, two different peanut butter cookies, including the do-si-do`s. Ate every last one himself lmao. I don`t DO cookies...unless LuLu makes them....you know...being the doting you-know-what. Richard, of course, would eat cookies till he was ill. heh heh heh.

 

When my girls were younger, we sold girl scout cookies til we were blue in the face and then ate the left-overs til we got toxic.

Dayum, those were good. But I haven't got any GS in the neighborhood now and haven't eaten one for over 10 years. Boo - hoo.

Twinkies are the Devil's own invention.

 

I am sooooooooooooooooo jealous. Ours won't be in until March.
We order at least 10 boxes. I order from people at work, hubby does, too. Kids order from other kids at school.
My favorite is peanut butter patties. I dislike coconut, so don't like those, but everyone else here loves them. Mints come in a close second to everyone.

 

My daughter had gooey chocolate mint ones on the go when I went round this weekend

 

I hate people ringing my door bell to sell me things, regardless of how old they are.

Luckily, Girls Scouts don't do the door to door thing here.

I just have to put up with Jehovah's Witnesses and Real Estate Agents, which my dogs love chasing.


The worst one is that fool selling Home Icecream and ringing his bloody truck bell every Saturday at noon.

If I ever catch that idiot........

 

I haven't seen a Girls Scout since moving to Memphis. I think the street gangs ate them all. The scouts, not the cookies.

 

Yes, please!

 

rut roh...started a thread and got so busy I forgot about it But I'm so glad to see so many replied!

My granddaughter in NY sells GS cookies but Chris has a co-workers daughter who hits him up twice a year too. Beth if you want GS cookies let me know and next time we get the word I can order some for you and mail them to you.

Chris bought the shortbread & peanut butter ones this time. I used to buy the mint ones and keep them in the freezer until I was ready to eat them. Yummy! So good like that!

 

my sister is a girl scout, I got the thin mints a week ago

 

I'm disappointed in you Abbysue! You have to be "ready" to eat cookies

I just thought it was second nature to us women

 

My favorites in order of preference....

1) Peanut butter sandwiches (I refuse to call them do-si-dos...got to be the stupidest name in the world!!!!)

2) Tagalongs

3) Thin Mints

When I lived in southern illinois...they were just getting up 2.50-3.00 dollars (depending on what troop you bought from) a box...then when I moved to the chicago area, about four years ago...I ordered for the first time and thought I was going to have a stroke...$4.00/box!!!!

It's acookie wafer of some sort eith a thin layer of peanut butter, then completely coated in chocolate. Kind of like a Twix without the caramel, only round.

And you're right about the name for Tagalongs!! It's just that I've always loved the peanut butter sandwiches from the day I was old enough to know what a girl scout cookie was, so I learned it as the original name, then they go and change it to something stupid like...do-si-dos!! The Tagalongs, on the other hand...I've always known them as tagalongs, so it's not quite as bad!! LOL

But I have to agree with you...when you sit down and think about it...there both pretty stupid!!!!

Roger

 

Tagalongs are called "peanut butter patties" here. I'm not sure that's better.

@ AbbySue: YES! I'll definitely be interested unless I find a munchkin around here! Thanks a bunch!

 

Just the smell of peanut butter makes me barf

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents

 

But I don't like peanut butter

 

No worries...I'll share my chocolate and mint chip ones with you

 

No don't like mint chocolate, it's not good for the old stomach

Good night folks (not hijacking this thread!)

Abby send me some cookies.....please?

 

I never knew matching a teenager with a cookie could be so hard

 

Totally agree with you Lev. Kids eat it by the ton.

 

They sure do. My son loves PBNJ sandwiches. Made him some for school one day, along with my salad sandwiches and my husbands meat ones. Packed the kids off to school, and took myself to work. Came to lunchtime...soooo hungry......grabbed my lunch box and tore into a sandwich....only to find my son had picked up my lunch box by mistake and I now had a mouth full of PBNJ. Ewwwww....much grossness

 

So your son had the salad sandwiches! What did he make of those?

 

He loved those too. He was a vegetarian for the first 9 years of his life

 

I bet you can't get GS thong cookies....

 

Samoa's are the freakin tasty's...

 

Thong cookies? What will they think of next....

 

In Australia, thongs are what Americans call "flip flops".

I've got mine on right now. I even go out with them on.

 

Americans call them thongs too...Brits call them flip flops, as I found out when my husband said walking through the store in a loud voice "oh you have thongs on" much to my embarrassment, until I realized he meant my footwear!

 

Huh?

I've never heard them referred to as thongs by an American, only flip flops.

 

Well you have now.....

 

LMAO @ the Google Sponsored Links,

Sandals Flip Flop, Teva Sandals & Shoes.....

 

Well, no I haven't.

All I've heard is you say it is.


Every TV show where it was mentioned, they were referring to G-Strings, and used the term "flip flops" for thongs.

TV never lies.

 

I don't exactly make a habit of it either........

 

Nobody said you did, so don't play the victim.

The line "TV never lies" is a Simpson (Homer) saying, hence the smilie.


Anyway, back to the subject as you have aroused my curiosity.

If the term is so widely used, how come I've never heard it mentioned, ever. In fact, quite the opposite?

 

I've never heard flip-flops referred to as "thongs" by Americans, either.

"Thong" has always been either a long piece of thin leather, or underwear.

*When I was a kid, we used to call flip-flops "cloppers" because of the sound they made when you walk.

 

I was not playing the victim..not my style. A smilie is not indicative of a Homer Simpson quotation.

I find your constant accusative, arrogant and shock-tactic approach to postings is getting very old, very fast. For the peace of the good people here at MGs I shall not be responding to your future posts. Equally, keep out of threads instigated by me and do not respond to my postings within other people's threads.
