Question of the Day, Saturday, February 24

[Winchester]

Happy Weekend!

My apologies for the late QoTD today. The nausea started early this morning and is lasting pretty much all day. I generally feel crappy.

It's that time of year again! The Girl Scout cookie season is upon us. What's your favorite Girl Scout cookie? Do you buy them?

Of course, we like Thin Mints. I also like Lemonades. And Caramel DeLites. Rick goes for Peanut Butter Patties.

 

[Lennybells]

I live in Canada. Don’t know if we have Girl Scouts...

 

[catloverfromwayback]

I don't know if we have Girl Scouts in Australia. We have Girl Guides, or used to. I have no idea whether they sell biscuits, I've never seen Guides around at all.

Both our daughters were in the Girl Scouts, one liked the thin mints best and the other liked the peanut butter sandwich. Unfortunately the supplier where we live, Salerno, no longer makes them here and I don't care for the the present supplier. Also, they charge $7.00 for a box of cookies.

 

[Margot Lane]

Never et one. Never seen a Girl Scout, for that matter.

Thin mints are the best. Trefoils are my second choice.

They are $6 a box here.

I don’t buy them because they are expensive, but probably thin mints.

I really loved the ones that had animals on them, and were like a shortbread with chocolate coating on the back. But they discontinued them.

 

[bbdoll22]

I like the peanut butter patties. I miss the lemon chalet cremes that are discontinued.

 

[Emmypeps]

Adventurefuls! Did they get rid of the s’mores? I loooooved those too!

 

[denice]

My favorites are the Peanut Butter Sandwich, they are called DoSiDos here. Those are one of the old ones, they were called Butternut Roundups when I sold them many years ago. I also like the Trefoils, they are really good with coffee. I haven't bought them since before the pandemic, actually the year it started in 2019. They are overpriced. I used to really look forward to them but then get tired of them very quickly so I quit buying them.

 

[NY cat man]

I used to like the thin mints, but since I now avoid chocolate, I don't buy them any more. Besides, while I realize that it's a fund raiser, they are just too expensive for what you get.

 

[Willowy]

I like Samoas/Caramel Delites. But I'm trying to avoid sugar!

 

[Mia6]

Samoas/Caramel Delites

and thin mints

Here in Canada, we don't have Girl Scouts, but we do have Girl Guides. They sell Thin Mints in the fall and Chocolate and Vanilla Sandwich cookies (one sleeve choc and one sleeve vanilla in the same box) in the spring. Of course I love the Thin Mints, but the others are great too.
My Mom brought back a box of the Toast-Yay one time when she went to Boston...they were tasty. But I would love to try the Lemonades sometime...they look yummy...I'm assuming it's a sandwich cookie with lemon flavored icing?

Do your Girl Scouts still go door to door? Around here they don't do that anymore, they just set up a table outside a grocery store or something.

 

[denice]

I don't think too many people let their kids go door to door anymore except to neighbors, friends and relatives. A lot of parents will bring in the order form and hit up coworkers. They have booth sales on the weekends and some troops have started online sales. This got me started wanting Girl Scout cookies so I just bought some. They are selling them outside the Dunkin's close to me. I got a cup of coffee at Dunkin and two boxes of the peanut butter sandwich cookies and one box of the Trefoils. The shortbread is good with coffee.

 

[betsygee]

On the other hand, I never met a Girl Scout cookie I didn't like!

 

[Gunther4ever]

4 Grandaughters in Girl Scouts - buy 4 boxes from each and give 8 to my Mom - mints and peanut butter, give 2 boxes to the neighbors 2 boxes here of mints and peanut butter and each girl gets to keep a box that they don't have to share...

 

[misty8723]

I used to like thin mints and the two peanut butter ones. Don't buy them anymore really.

 

[lizzie]

Thin mints have been the only ones we've ever bought,and I haven't bought any in several years.Mostly because of his diabetes and I know how fast they'll be gone ,and also they are not cheap for such a small box.
