Girl Scout Cookies

This year they are selling sugar-free brownies.

Do girls still sell girl scout cookies? When I worked, my co-workers
sold their kids' cookies at work!

They set up their table at one of the grocery stores here and I always
buy a box or two. I don't remember the name but there is one kind that
is more like a candy bar than a cookie and I indulge.

I bought mine over the weekend. Mom and daughter came up to the groupd
of neighborhood moms. Mom sold the cookies, daughter ran around and
looked totally uninterested. I bought them anyway; that's part of being
friends in my neighborhood--but it's been many years since I thought
the girls got any selling or marketing experience from this. When I was
a girl scout, parents didn't help out at all! And if a girl only sold a
few boxes, it was ok, the point was that she got the experience of
trying to sell something.

ps. I hear the brownies aren;t that tasy. I'm sticking with the mints,
myself.

Joy...

I wouldn't buy sugar-free anything. You can't beat the thin mints, although
they have a couple of other varieties I like. The lemon ones are good, and
there's a coconut one that's good too.

Don't talk about those thin mints. They are my favorite. Shhhh.

I have called them "cookie-nazis" most of my adult life. They rank up
there with little-league-zazis and other such money grubbing
organizations that accomplish little else than turn children into
collection agencies and mega-consumers. The last few years I have
absolutly refused to buy cookies from girl scouts. I doubt I ever will
again. (which is a problem for a guy who l-o-v-e-s the Do-Si-Do cookies!)

Gosh, you're no fun, JD. :-) I'd rather contribute to Scouts and Little
Leagues than politicians that's for sure.

JD Cooper...

Ok.. I consider your scolding to he appropriate... but I have big
problems with the overly pushy parents...

Jean B....

Yes, they do. They assail us as we try to exit from the
supermarket. (I buy them from one of Leah's friends.)
