Default Girl Scout cookies - the ultimate training fuel

It's that time of year again - Girl Scout cookie time!

Megan will be selling cookies starting on Saturday morning, and I can hook you up with some delicious cookies.

Did you know that Girl Scout cookies are the official training food of the Counting Coup and Vision Quest? (At least, I think I heard that...)

Here is Megan selling cookies to Chipster's son Ryan last year:

Cookies are $4/box, payable on delivery. I can make deliveries to the south OC area, and if I get enough orders I can make a special delivery to Roscoe's after the Fully Loop or other STR events.

Attention STR Weight Loss Challenge contestants: Please consider donating a box or boxes to the Second Harvest Food Bank or to Helping Our Troops. The cookies would be greatly appreciated! I can handle the details of your donation, and you will receive a tax deductible receipt.

Some of the cookie names have changed this year, but the cookies are still the same...

Support the Girl Scouts - it is a great organization.

When girls sell cookies, they learn self-confidence, teamwork, goal setting, time and money management and personal responsibility.

Send me a PM if you'd like to order. Thanks!

FYI - Cookies will arrive on Saturday, Feb 23rd.

Sales at local grocery stores, etc., don't start until Feb. 29th, so you can get your cookie fix earlier if you order directly from a girl scout!

Girls scout cookie trivia:

- The first national Girl Scout Cookie sale was held in 1936.

- Thin Mints is the top selling Girl Scout Cookie in America.

- Caramel deLites is among the top five cookies sold in the United States annually.

Since when did Somoas come to be called "Carmel deLites"? Are they a new "lighter"/healthier version of Somoas or is it just a misleading marketing tool? Either way...

YAY for GIRL SCOUTS! =)

Why are Tagalongs now "Peanut Butter Patties" ??

And Samoas are now "Caramel Delites" --that's misleading! Those are full of coconut and fat. That's why theyre so tasty!

I'll get back to you with my order

I have never had a sweet tooth. My mom used to deny me desert if I did not eat my veggies, it never worked.I think the last time I ate any candy was like 2yrs ago. I hate chocolate by the way! I now have to dodge my boss, I'm on his lap top!

My mom's a girl scout leader and with the str weight loss stuff going on it looks like I'm gonna buy a crapload of samoas and hide them til my belly size permits.


edit: Caramel deLites? What kind of blasphemy is this?!?! Why haven't they retained their most honorable name of samoas?

edit to my edit: The girl scouts in our area get thier cookies from a different baker than your area. So different name, and some varying cookies.

Well, I did mention the start date in the fine print ("Megan will be selling cookies starting on Saturday morning") - and I haven't actually written anything on the order form yet... Yes, I know, a little sneaky...

But, Jordan should have a fair shake at STR cookie sales, too, so Megan will be happy to split any STR orders that come in. She's thinks Jordan is a great girl!

I will be willing to ship cookies for a nominal fee, if the need for a cookie fix is big.

Also, don't forget you can donate cookies to a worthy cause (tax-deductible). You pick the flavor!

I don't think so. If cookies enter this house they aren't leaving...

They have (Cinna-Spins), and they do.

Well, not really, but I like the full-fat ones best - just got to watch the portions. An entire sleeve of cookies is not a portion.

I'll check on the hot wings flavir for ya, cause you're one of my favorite STR peeps.

You never actually get your hands on the cookies - otherwise, none would make to the needy folks and soldiers. Girls Scouts knows how addictively evil their cookies are.

Same cookies, different baker. The new baker with the new cookie names has been baking cookies for other girl scout areas for 70 years. Sounds like the "old" baker with the Samoas and Tagalongs dropped the ball in the customer service department and lost the local GS account. ABC Bakers will be happy to fill your cookie needs!
