Girl Scout Cookies: Not What They Used To Be

Last year, the Girl Scouts announced they were removing trans fat from their cookies. The result? Well, something was just not right with the Caramel Delites (Samoas) last year.

This year, the Girl Scouts went on even more of a health kick with their Cinnaspins, packaged in 100-calorie packs. The only thing this did was make me feel bad that I ate 200 calories worth of cookies in one sitting.

In addition, they introduced another new variety of healthier Girl Scout Cookies:

Sugar-Free is bad enough, but these cookies go too far. Now, Girl Scout Cookies will actually punish you if you eat too many.

Nothing is sacred anymore.

    Now you hate GIRL scouts? Another gay post.

    For the record, I can probably keep this up for a while.

    Honestly, they should bold that statement on the front of the box. That way, you’ll be too afraid to eat too many.

    EWWW What a warning to have on a package! But at least they are honest about it. I miss the days of the good ole original Samoa cookie.

    They forgot the other warnings!

    - Excess consumption may cause ass swell to the size of a small car.
    - Excess consumption may lead to diabetes.
    - Excess comsuption may indicate that you live alone, own more then four cats, and have an odor that cause people to shun you in public.

    Whatev, what is it once a year you eat a sleeve of thin mints then tell yourself OK I will ration the other sleeve & place it in the freezer?
    That does not work BTW - as they are better frozen.
    The PB tagalongs - only good when room temp.
    Plus - this is a much better way to spend $5, those foot long crap sandwiches, NSM

    shouldn’t they offer the original samoa as well as the samoa minus the trans fat? that way people who don’t give a fuck won’t be robbed of the most delicious girl scout cookie ever.

    I personally enjoy knowing all those calories will be coming directly out of me afterward…it’s like I never ate them at all..

    I learned something about Girl Scout cookies a few years ago: they are manufactured by two different companies. If you get the one where they are called Caramel Delites instead of Samoas, they aren’t as good.

    Samoas still exist, and they are still manna from heaven. It’s just that you have to hit up a Girl Scout who actually sells them and not the designer imposter version, that’s all.

    *goes off to see if you can buy GS cookies online*
