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.

Last year we saw Girl Scout Cookies go trans-fat free and this year they're taking a step even further to sell to us calorie-conscious folks. Meet Cinna-Spins 100-Calorie Packs. Yes that is right, like many major brands, the Girl Scouts of America are trying to lure us to buy more cookies (as if we needed convincing).

If you're someone who weighs yourself daily, then you know that our weight is hardly static. If you weighed 130 before you went to bed and then 134 in the morning (after you pee) this does not mean you gained four pounds overnight. Well, unless you consumed 14,000 calories while you were sleeping.
