Look out, the girl scout cookies changed recipes

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Overpriced crappy cookies

Amen to that..



never liked them...

The cookies have several different bakers. Thats why sometimes the names and recipes are different. Its very possible that the Tagalongs you know and love are still being made in a different part of the country.

That explains it! Somebody else told me this too, that different bakeries are being used and that some scout groups use one and some another. So this might explain why some of you say they haven't changed but from what I've seen they have, and drastically. I would like to know what is going on with the new thin mints, if they changed too, before I buy any. The bakeries are in competition with one another from what I've been told so if everyone complains about the bad one maybe they won't use them next year.

With great relief, the box of Tagalongs that I just bought taste the same.

Now I will proceed to eat so many Tagalongs that I will shortly get sick of the . . . until next year.

They are a fundraiser for the children.



And the cookies are NOT getting smaller - people are getting bigger....see the relation?

 

[Lila64]

Is that your sales pitch?

 

[corianderstem]

I finally caved into my curiosity and bought Dreyer's Samoas ice cream last night. It's extremely disappointing. It has chunks of the cookies in it, but honestly, the overall taste is very bland. It almost doesn't taste like anything.

Cadbury tried to sell that same lie when they made the creme eggs smaller

Was just wondering how much money people paid for a box ??

I paid $4.00 ... the lady told me it was because she sold them in Cook County (although, Du Page County sold them for $3.50)


I thought maybe she wasn't from Cook and might have been selling them at the higher price so she could pocket the EXTRA fee.

They should be one price (no matter what area they are sold at)


And thank goodness ... those Carmel DeLites do taste just like those Samoas !!

The day they change them is the day I stop buying their cookies. END OF STORY !! Let's hope that NEVER happens.

 

[Lila64]

Around here, they've been $4.00 for the last few years, at least back when Maddy was a Girl Scout

 

[corianderstem]

$4 a box around here, too. I have no idea how long they've been that price.

if they touch thin mints i'll kill someone

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Those heathens.

I haven't had any Girl Scouts hawking their cookies near me, at least not yet. I might have to go try some of the GS Edy's ice cream soon if I can't get my yearly fix soon.

I bought three boxes this weekend ($3.50 btw). They're everywhere now, damn it.

I bought two more boxes yesterday.

It's those little faces looking up at me that gets me every time

A mom sold me mine. Her face had nothing to do with my purchase.

 

[corianderstem]

I usually buy a box or two from a coworker whose kid is a Girl Scout.

me too.

IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN DAMMIT!

You missed the relation......but thanks for the wikipedia source!

It's the faces on the box, itself, in many cases. This is identical to the packaging that greeted me at work:

It's like happiness in a box. It's awfully difficult to say no to that.

In terms of "helping the children," I'm all for that, but what are they doing exactly with these "funds"? Are they really helping the community? I've been dreading going outside today, because I face a mountain of snow in my path. The funny thing is, I don't see a Girl Guide in sight (and I have a very good view of the street).

 

[kellyahern]

The place that I bought them from said the money is going to fund that troop's trip to New York.

I really don't care where the money is going as long as I get my chocolate covered peanut butter cookie, damn it (the box is already gone - I knew I should have gotten more than one )

Just an update for everyone on my earlier post. Not long after I made those remarks, an amazing thing happened: The girls showed up, started shovelling, and started restoring my faith in the Guiding (Scouting in the US) movement.

Pretty great teamwork.


However, just when things were going great, there was a sudden shift in attitude once I started asking questions about the necessity of trans fats in the cookies:

They ran away, laughing, with one of them shouting "Maybe you can sponsor us to plant a little tree in the Spring!"

I am down to one Caramel Delite.

I think different parts of the countries are on different schedules right?? right???

[Sicy]

What the hell did they do to the box?
Obviously I havent bought a box of girl scout cookies in a while

We didn't order any, but we got a box as a gift and haven't tried them yet.

Those are the Canadian imitations of Girl Scout cookies.

 

[redhotswami]
