Girl scout cookies

[NSXFreak00]

So the head Managing Director's 6 year old daughter sold girl scout cookies in the office. Boy did she make out like a bandit. I first ordered 2 boxes, knowing all its going to do is make me fat, but to be courteous, I figured I'd buy two. Then the other analyst that sits next to me buys 4 boxes. Fine, I still figured I'd be okay with buying two. So then, one of the directors comes by, and asks me how many boxes I bought... I say two, and he calls me a cheap bast*rd (facetiously, of course)

So then it gets competitive, and now I have 11 boxes of girl scout cookies on my desk

It's all about the SOMOAS.

Something I found interesting is that each troop can charge whatever they want for the cookies. Did you know that? My niece is selling them for $4 a box, while my parents neighbor is selling them for $5 a box through her troop. Kinda crazy, but either way, Samoas rock. Where else can you get 15 cookies for $4 (or $5) in some areas?:biggrin:

Rookie. I have taken delivery of 37 boxes so far, with 3 more Girl Scouts yet to drop off their unholy loot on my doorstep.

When my daughter sold these delicious implements of the devil, she moved over 200 boxes. Never underestimate the willingness of neighbors to pack on the coconut encrusted pounds in the name of a good cause.

Excuse me, I must go. I just broke my femur and Tagalong peanut butter cream spilled out.

Trefoils! Samoas! Tagalongs too!
Thin Mints! Lemon Coolers! All-Abouts new!
I'm done! I'm full! I can't take anymore!
Oh no! Who's that, knocking at my door?
Egad! More cookies! What have I done?
Tormenting me with sugar, they're having such fun!
I turn to run, but my gut's in the way.
My feet are too heavy, my butt's all aweigh.
Fine, take my money, do what you please.
You aren't really Scouts, you're an insulin tease.
Just one more box, my final swan song.
Man, I sure love me that Tagalong......

We buy them becuase they are absolutly fantasic to eat. Does anyone buy them becase they feel bad or they have to?

 

[spyderplayer2002]

Ditto. I can eat the whole box without stopping.

In high school a friend and I were selling candy bars for a buck each. The group who sold the most candy bars were awarded T-shirts. My friends father bought every box we had so we would win.:biggrin:

37 boxes!!?? that's like 170$ in cookies!!...I love the Samoas but at 5$ per 14 cookies, It really is highway robbery....

Dont forget the milk, playa:biggrin:

Try it with ice cream...full fat ice cream:smile:

I love those freakin chocolate & peanut butter cookies. A few weeks ago one of the other doctors on my floor was selling them for his kids. Well I think his kids troop won the trip to Hawaii this year. They were only selling them by the carton, not by the box. The first thing I do is pop them in freezer for 20 minutes and get my gallon of milk ready! :biggrin:

or coffee if you have to eat em at work. :biggrin:

Some of you suckas are getting ripped - we pay $3.50 a box here. Your girl scouts are straight up playin' ya.

$3.50 here too. I buy them because they're good, not because I feel bad. I really think they are putting something in them to make them addicting. Imagine, Girls Scouts across the nation are drug pushers! :biggrin:

The thing I don't get is that you have to order them in January and you don't get any cookies until like March?! Why don't they sell them in the grocery stores all year round? I'd buy them throughout the year and I'm sure they would make more money too. You can buy Girl Scout Cookie ice cream all year long, but not the cookies.

I think when this started, the girls were supposed to learn something by going door to door and selling cookies. But now, they don't do that. Either safety concerns of young girls going door to door or nobody is home during the day anymore. Whatever the reason. These days, the girls have pretty much no involvment in the process. They just give the order form to their parents to take to work. The only real selling that I do see the girls doing is when they sit outside the local grocery store. So go ahead, just sell them in the store.

Must be a regional thing too - we ordered the 3rd week of January and got them last weekend. I think some troops preorder however much they think they can sell and have them on hand quicker. Shoot, I've already killed 2 boxes of Tagalongs and 1 Thin Mints!

This thread is ridiculous, everyone knows the thin mints are the best cookie. :wink:
