Girl scout cookies are so good. And all my years of selling them - door-to-door and booth sales - has not lessened my enjoyment of them. I can still rattle off all the names, and remember when they cost less than 2 bucks a box. Did you know there are 2 different bakers for them? and that only one baker uses the names, the other uses descriptions as the names (tagalongs vs peanut butter patties), oddly enough thin mints have the same name with both methods. As a kid, we'd swap cookies with my aunt who lived in Houston because the girls near her had the other baker's cookies and so each year they'd have at least one cookie we didn't have and we'd have one they didn't have either.
Do I know too much about cookies? Yes, but that is what happens when you sell them for years and years. Hard to believe that my troop was able to go to Savannah, GA and to London with the proceeds from selling those cookies.
My favorites are still the tagalongs, with samoas a close second...
You would not believe the number of leaders up here who do not know all that stuff about cookies - I thought everyone knew there were two bakers.
