Oh, it happened. The Girl Scout cookie box has been opened.
And they taste so good.
I actually think these incredible cookies maintain their appeal because they taste like memories. How can you not buy Girl Scout cookies if you once sold them yourself? (Do you remember those cookie booths? - fun, yet torture, at the same time)
Take the classic shortbread Trefoil, for example: It's never been a top-selling flavor, but one year, man did we sell that kind like hot cakes once one of our leaders shared a marketing secret - you can use them to make mini strawberry shortcakes! -->
And what about the Thin Mint? (pictured directly below) That one's been around since Girl Scouts started selling cookies - and they still top the charts year after year. Minty chocolate-y goodness - yum!
In truth, Girl Scout cookies remind me of those Pillsbury ads they are running now about getting family members either out of bed or away from fighting with each other to gather around the table for a special treat. That's what these cookies do too.
And, if I do say so myself, they support a great cause.
Carry on, Girl Scouts - 100 years strong!
