A while back we learned that the Girl Scouts were downsizing their boxes and in some cases decreasing the girth of a few cookies due to the rising cost of flour.
Even though some boxes contain fewer cookies, and some cookies lost some heft in the redesign, it is still a good idea to know the caloric content and serving size of your favorite cookie. Take this little quiz and see if you know what you're dealing with when you bite into another Thin Mint.
Question 1 of 6
How many cookies are considered a serving of Samoas (aka Carmel deLites)?
Nicoli
Uslu Airlines
Cheap Monday
i imagined the Count from Sesame Street telling me wether i was right or wrong...
1Those damn girl scouts and their delicious cookies, accosting me at every turn...
2I skipped GS cookies this year. Which was hard cause Peanut Butter Patties are my favorite!
3Mmm, samoas. I could at least a box of these.
4I think I'm in the minority here, but I don't like these cookies
5I like 'em, but I like keeping my extra money and staying within my daily calorie range much more.
I do my best to pretend GSC don't exist. I smile at the kids but imagine their piles of cookies are really a pesky mirage!
62/6, ha.
7/CRY now I want cookies. So mean Fit, so mean.
8I skipped buying them this year
It will be hard because I could eat a whole Thin Mint box.
92 peanut butter patties for 140 calories!! Ill take it!
I always thought it was a lot more.....
and i still dont et the whole damn name change thing......
10PEANUT BUTTER PATTIES makes way more sense than tagalongs.....
Im my honor I will try to not eat all the cookies when i buy them....
God I love these cookies, and the faces on the little girls when you buy them!
4/6, yum!
11My family bought like 8 boxes of girl scout cookies this year. Of course I am being strong and haven't had one because I am on a diet. I miss them though.
12The photos of the cookies are NOT helping me.
133/6, I am hitting up my Girl Scouts this weekend
14love thin mints!
153/6...its only 10 AM and now I want cookies! lol... mmm my faves are the samoa's and the buttery shortbread-like ones...but I will NOT be purchasing them this year... I cannot trust myself around any box of cookies.
16I am a mom of a hard-core girl scout this year! Just last night I froze my butt off outside the grocery store for 2 hours so she could hock more boxes of these things. I should have done better than 4/6 at this quiz i guess. Thanks to all for supporting our little girls in Girl Scouts by buying these delicious yummies. Most people are so nice with the girls. Many bought boxes, and simply donated them back because they didn't want to eat them themselves. We are sending the donated boxes overseas to the troops!
175 of 6, is it sad I know so much about cookies!?!? I think so, haha. Gosh, I loooove thin mints! I look forward to them every year. Unfortunately I stored away a little too much chub this winter & need to get back into bikini shape! Til next year...
18Well, I do not eat Girl Scout Cookies because I think that they are evil.
19I know my cookies!
206/6. Got addicted to their cookies when I was a Girl Scout many, many years ago.
21I always buy several boxes of cookies from the girls when they start selling them. The money goes to a great cause that I'm proud to contribute to.
Very nice site!
