This year's Girl Scout Thin Mints

[s____!]

This is making me hungry. I don't care if the Thin Mints taste like crap this year, I want a box!

That's why I stopped buying cookies. Our council switched from Little Brownie Bakers to ABC a couple years ago.

They might switch back. I talked to the mom at a sale yesterday, and she said that they sign two year contracts, and seem to flip flop.

Yeah the thin mints aren't as I remembered. I haven't bought any in the last few years but my mom got me a box for Valentines day. They just tasted like well nastyness. With a cardboard texture. Not what I expected.

I don't know if they are any better or any worse. All I know is that due to this thread, I polished off an entire sleeve of them today. The other sleeve lasted me over a week. Thanks a lot!

the cookies especially the thin mints have gotten smaller and thinner over the last few years.

What does your screen name mean?

What does your screen name mean?

First initial of my name, followed by underscores where the rest of the letters would be.

Seem fine to me, smaller though AND I had to give them up due to reflux.

It is another thing "on the list".

Me too darn it!
But I can still eat Do Se Do's

I wasn't thrilled with the taste of them either. I figure I can have the grasshoppers & nutter butters vs them.

Made by ABC.

My wife swears the "Thanks A Lot" used to be chocolate coated shortbread, now they are like chocolate coated flavorless cookie. Also made by ABC.

The cookies we have always bought were made by ABC. The Thin Mints taste and look exactly the same to me.

The Thanks-A-Lots seem to have been overcooked this year. At least in the couple boxes we have gotten.

Not good aftertaste, smaller cookie, smaller box, higher price. Keeblers are for me.

 

[BellePrincessBelle]

The Keebler Grasshopper cookies are a dead ringer for Thin Mints!

Because a Keebler owned company is one the of the bakers for GS.
Here it is Little Brownie bakers http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/22/60minutes/rooney/main1429569.shtml
We use them. I've heard ABC is BAD.

Is it just me, or does it seem like they forgot to put the mint in?

They seemed to taste the same to me, however, I'm peeved that, along with everything else, the packages are getting smaller and smaller.
