They should be banned.

I've been told that there are some folks who think a single serving is less than a single sleeve.

Hard to believe.

It's almost true! Instead of trying to convince myself that i don't enjoy girl scout cookies, i just tell myself that they're ridiculously expensive. I probably CAN eat the whole box in a sitting and there what--5, 6 dollars a box now?

DH bought 2 boxes for $7. He charged me 25 cents per thin mint and 50 cents per samoa. It helped keep me in check and he made some of his money back, but we're silly like that.

ohhh how i love LOVE girl scout cookies!! i could eat samoas all day every day and be happy and HOW can you resist buying them when your own sweet students AND your high school intern at work are peddling them?? how do you say no to that?? ughhh

anyhow what i did was buy from only one person....my rule at school about fundraisers is that i'll buy from the first kid who asks me and then no one after that, otherwise i'd be buying from half the school!! and i only buy the types of cookies that i hate (peanut butter, minty ones etc) and then i give the cookies to DH and the boys and i'm not tempted since i didn't buy the ones i like

I'm so glad they don't even tempt me anymore, whew! The last time I had them (2011?) they were oily and bland tasting, so I decided it wasn't worth it. Now I don't really have carb cravings and makes the rest of the resisting easy

Don't give in, as you said the Thin Mints LIE!

I pretend that the sweet adorable little girls are in fact trolls that are going to add fat to my hind end while I stand there paying for the cookies. I haven't stopped at one table.

The things we tell ourselves.
