    Girl Scout thin mints

    Seems like there is a lot fewer in the box this year. Finished the first row in a couple of minutes and noticed the rows didn't even come close to coming to the top of the box. Back to the second row,

    crack to me too. I can be found in the corner with empty boxes surrounding me this time of year. I'm proud of myself lately. I have to dodge them.

    When I encounter the little bandits my only question is "how many do I have to buy".

    Boy scouts took their share of the profits.

    Still a much better deal than the Boy Scouts popcorn. My daughter is in GS and we just got done with sales. She only sold about 320 this year. Last year it was like 700 and the year before that it was over 1,000 boxes. My wife is thankful that she stopped early this year. Tired of all the booth sales.

    They hand them out free where I work. They were handing out the boy scout pop corn yesterday.

    I want to give to the boy scouts but their popcorn sucks...I usually just hand them a 10 dollar bill and tell them to keep the popcorn....They would be better off selling candy bars..

    The little she devils trapped me coming out of Lowes....about 10 of them with their moms....Poor guys don't stand a chance...lol

    Go get the knock offs from Dollar General. They have most of the flavors and are half the price. Taste is pretty much spot on.

    The good old days

    Anyone remember selling / buying the ---- World's Finest Candy Bar?? They used to be huge, sold to raise money for prom, 50 cents.
    Today, half the size, $1.00

    I would think most don't buy them just to eat the cookies....There are better choices out there if I'm going to buy them at a store that is for sure..
    It's all about giving a couple of bucks to a solid organization..

    Love me some Thin Mints!
    The thing I really appreciate is the convenient single-serving packages.

    Oh I agree. I buy my share every year as well. Just giving an option for those who like them at other times of the year.
