I was so hoping that my own girl scout experience would be like Troop Beverly Hills. But it never was. (And speaking of TBH, it took me an embarassingly long time to realize that they were referring to TBH in that Rilo Kiley song, The Frug. Well, I take that back; I assumed they were, because it was the only place I'd ever seen The Freddy performed, but I didn't at the time realize that Jenny Lewis was actually little Jenny Lewis of TBH fame. So I just thought they were being awesome and referencing TBH for the hell of it.) sarah, may I remind you that by your own admission, you have the world's worst memory? So maybe you should accept that you are wrong, and all of us are totally right. I say with love. oh man, Erin Who Isn’t Me, how I love that movie.

Why don't I remember that? The girl scouts that usually sell cookies outside the Blockbusters near my dad's house are nowhere to be found.... what's going on? Wait, Sarah… you grew up in Louisiana?

Frozen - I could sit down and eat the whole row. Did you know that there is Girl Scout ICE CREAM?!? I bought the thin mint kind once. Yumminess in a bowl. The last time I had a Girl Scount cookie was fabulous...I gave blood and some donor (read: parent who bought cases of Girl Scout cookies for their daughter and didn't know what to do with 500 boxes) gave them to the blood center. I GOT AN ENTIRE BOX - just for trying to save a life. Good times. Good times. Thin mints are the best. Frozen - I could sit down and eat the whole row.

Oatmeal and peanut butter, two great tastes that taste great together! Samoas are sooo chewy delicious, and Thin Mints definitively rule the school. Sarah, I totally 100% agree--Tagalongs are way too rich. Blech. Why do Girl Scouts need to become insanely overworked cookie pushers? Junkies like myself will always seek them out. Although the Walgreens technique is pretty brilliant, as I find myself thinking, "I should get some new mascara. And Girl Scout Cookies! Forward ho to Walgreens!"

HEY NOW. let's not forget i grew up in louisiana, a state that is always, well, a little behind the times. so those of you from TEXAS may have sold samoas, but me and my cajun sisters sold caramel delights. i agree with you talena, most of the cookies no longer hold a real appeal for me. but the thin mints?!! erin, i feel you. and erin d., i wrote a post about troop beverly hills a while back, after i watched it for the 147th time. "khaki riches and cookie dreams!!" hey now.

It's like Christmas for my mouth. And is it just me or does anyone else's mind immediately go to "Troop Beverly Hills" at the thought of selling cookies? Remember when they did the song and dance ("Cookie Time") in front of the shops in Beverly Hills and the one girl wore the Tina Turner wig? I freaking love that movie; I'll have to rent it to watch while inhaling my Thin Mints.

Where they put the lemon icing on the bottom of the cookie. I also recently started enjoying the lemon ones. Where they put the lemon icing on the bottom of the cookie.

It makes me happy to see that I get more of those per box than people who buy some of the other kinds. How do you pronounce that? Is the accent on "Tre" or "foils"? TREfoils treFOILS Maybe it's French. tray-fua I really like the shortbread ones. It makes me happy to see that I get more of those per box than people who buy some of the other kinds.
