![American reacts to Posts That Prove American's Think That Only They Exist [part 2]](/img/n.gif)
The record set for selling them was from a little girl who set up shop right outside of weed dispensary. Genius future CEO.
Yes! Absolutely brilliant!
Or realtor. Location, location, location.
That is genius!!
That's hilarious! 😆 I thought it was going to be Chris Rock's daughter who sold during the Oscars. But she didn't even get close. 🤣
You Wrong
In my region, we call peanut butter patties “Tag-alongs” and peanut butter sandwiches are called “Do-si-dos”
That is the superior baker
where was the Trefoils the shortbread ones.
whats up with these french toast cookies? I've never seen those! Now I want more mints
@@vass0922 Ate about 15
of the mint ones today. Had to put those guys up lol
Here in my state we have a mix of both it seems. But when I was a Girl Scout back in the 90s they were definitely Tag-alongs, Do-si-dos, and Samoas for us. It now seems that here in my state we get products from both bakeries depending on the area you are from.
Do you remember a sandwich cookie they had back in the 90s that had a strawberry jelly with sugar in the center of the top that was cut out? Those were my favorite.
I'm a troop leader for 7 to 9-year-old Girl Scouts (Brownies) and those girls WORK to sell those cookies. This year our troop of 100 girls sold the most cookies in our entire council. With the money we earned, we were able to take every girl on a camping trip and they didn't have to pay a thing!
It's a great way to get girls involved in their community and we teach our Brownies about STEM subjects like math, engineering, robotics, coding, and cybersecurity. They also learn about life skills like art, money management, outdoor safety, and self-care.
Holy moly, I have 30 girls in my troop and it seems like too much! 100?!? How?!?
I thought brownies were you get 😅
The Brownies do things that didn't exist when I was a Brownie
Well yeah at that price you can. If the prices were normal, you could buy a tent maybe. Fucking robbery.
Wow, your troop has 100 girls!
Former Girl Scout here. The money made from cookie sales would go towards our end of year trips. One year we went to Savanah GA, and another year we did a road trip.
Or pay for camp! Or uniforms for kids who couldn’t afford them. Or kayak trips. Once we stayed overnight at the American Indian Museum & learned traditional stories from an elder. It was all very formative-I now work in a museum teaching about Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) history.
I was in boy Scott s one weekend and quit. Our camp was a dump.
all that money to go to Georgia?🤣🤣🤣🤣
We never gone on trips. The closest to trips we had were literally just camping outside of the freaking building. Not even a forest, just outside the girl scout building in a surburban area😢
@@patrickmac2799 The birthplace of Girl Scouts. In the US.
What he didn't tell you is that those 200M boxes of thin mints are bought by 6 people who put them in their freezer.
Frozen thin mints and peanut butter patties (tagalongs) are the absolute best!
Yes! I can't eat them now but I used to buy one to eat and one to freeze for later. Thin mints are the best. I love them in vanilla ice cream.
😅
@@csc7225Yesss!
Yes! How did you know I was one of them? Who told on me?
Many years ago, my son was a submariner out at sea with his 21st birthday coming up. At the same time, my daughter was selling Girl Scout cookies. We decided to buy 70 boxes of cookies and send them to him on the sub. He will tell you to this day that was his favorite present ever. They had been out at sea for more than 6 months and getting those cookies was like a taste of home. It made an entire crew of sailors happy. It wasn't too long after that that the Girl Scouts took donations for cookies to be sent overseas every year.
What my buddies and I would have given for Girl Scout cookies in Vietnam! In some C-rations they had a cookie with chocolate filling of some kind but the chocolate tasted like powder. NOT EDIBLE!
I'm gonna cry
@@artxdanisame here 😢😭
I did wonder where that sentiment came from. That’s so AH-mazing, good for you! 🙌🏾
@@mikatee2599 I do wish that the idea was entirely altruistic, but I honestly think it was a case of what do we get our son who has extremely limited storage on a sub, something that would be acceptable and allowed via the Navy and something he would like and at the same time trying to find the time and selling skills to sell more than 100 boxes of cookies. Either way, it worked out better than we would ever have expected. I don't know that this was the reason that the M Girl Scouts started the donation ability for troops but I know it was popular enough that our troop did it the very next year and was very popular.
I cannot believe that watching British high schoolers eating food is bringing me this much joy.
Welcome to the rabbit hole mate
frr
Right?? Who'da thunk it?
You know, outside the world of reaction videos it just sounds like discovering a Rule 34.
Jolly + highschool kids is truly wholesome 😂
For headmaster’s future reference, lemonade isn’t usually fizzy in America. It’s normally just lemon, still water, and sugar
I know this threw me for a loop for a while until I learned that they essentially refer to Sprite or 7Up like drinks as lemonade.
Lemons aren't native to Europe. The fizz is probably to cover the lack of good healthy juice. In California we use fresh lemons right from the orchard and cane sugar. It's sweet, yet, but the real juice is super evident and delicious.
@@AuspexAO why are lemons not being native to Europe relevant?
@@SeanDaNerdBecause Europe would have to get them from somewhere else, and they wouldn’t be as fresh.
Everyone here in the US knows we are overpaying for the Girl Scout cookies. They do so to support their kids, their neighbor's kids, and scouting.
Plus any time there is a fundraiser like this I expect to pay more because I know the organization has to pay the manufacturers for production expenses. It’s not like out of a $5 box the GS nets $5. Plus it’s a good learning lesson for the girls on entrepreneurship and customer service that they do alongside their families.
We have a “no soliciting” sign at our front door that has a “unless you’re a Girl Scout” clause on it😉
What do they do with all that money tho?
I remember when a box was 75 cents.
It’s the worst when your boss brings in the sheet though I mean yeah I’ll get some thin mints and some other ones but then it’s like who is gonna help the most 😂 Always awkward
Thin Mint cookies in the freezer...LEGIT AMAZING!! Also, put in food processor, ground up w/melted butter, makes an awesome pie crust!!
Especially in the summer heatwaves!
I freeze them too or food processor and mix with chocolate chip cookie dough and bake them! OMG, that is the best. Dang it now I have to find a girl scout! Lol
@@roxie_the_rockmonster4892 ohh! I will have to try that! My kids would love them!!
I freeze them also! My grandma did it, so I did it. Best way to have them! I love crumbling them up and using them as an ice cream topping.
Thin mints as a pie crust for a French silk pie...and if you don't have thin mints you can use mint Oreos...it is sooo good
I’m in high school now, and I’ve been doing Girl Scouts since I was around 6-7. We currently sell the boxes for $6 a box. We only make $1.05 from each box we sell. That extra five cents is from us opting out of prizes. My troop has 6 girls and we sell 8,000 boxes as a troop each season. We get to go to Dodger games, water parks and theme park because of the cookies we sell as a troop. We are actually planning a trip to Iceland with our money. But it’s taken us 5 years, and doing fundraisers, and negotiating and fighting with Girl Scouts. What we as troops do for them is a lot of work, for very little gain.
Welcome to capitalism and bureaucracy! What you're doing is amazing though - Iceland wow! I was a GS up through hs and pretty much bowed out of cookie selling bc our troop was only like 4 of us and three of us had part time jobs where we made more money 😢
Congrats are following through with your goals!❤
Keep going! I was in a troop of 8 girls and we fundraised for years, finally managing to go to the Girl Scout Chalet in Switzerland in our 10th year when we were all about 14-16 years old during the 2006 World Cup. I remember it was like a giant lodge way up in the Alps with a gigantic trampoline out back completely surrounded by mountains. An absolutely unbelievable experience - I was very lucky to have had such an awesome troop leader.
That sounds like a lot of gain to me imo
I was a Brownie in NYC back in the day. While we had a little stand by a park once, we made much more selling to our classmates, and then finally by giving our parents our order sheet to take to work. Those cookies sell themselves.
Congratulations on you & your troop getting your Iceland trip together! That is an epic Girl Scout story. 🍀🍀🍀
I graduated from Girl Scouts, but we saved up for a trip to London! It was amazing, and I’m sure Iceland will be so fun!!
“I don’t see myself enjoying them.” As he casually throws a whole cookie in his mouth.😂
Literally was on his second cookie already lmao
To be fair, that’s pretty much describes everyone’s first experience with thin mints
The headmaster is the highlight. Pleasant and positive and funny.
They are all great. Very polite and funny.
He is just as fun as the kids! He's very pleasant!
I love the dude with the curly fro pretending to hate everything 😅
Headmaster Smith always steals the show.
Did you see him in the Korean Navy series? No bad for his age.
"I would eat them, but I wouldn't enjoy them."
Most teen boy statement ever.
And he said it as he popped a second one into his mouth 😂
I caught that too. Cracked me up!!😂
Absolutely true
Haha, so true! When my little brother was 17, he decided he hated the cake we got for a gathering, yet ate about 4 slices... and woke up at 2am to him eating the leftovers straight out of the container in pitch darkness LOL
Yes, with their big appetites loll
"Do you have a message for the girlscouts?"
"Try to get a percentage of that paper that you're making."
😂
They should get it. They are literally working for free.
@@getonwithit.2847 I think legally they have to work for free. It only works as a part of their "troop activities" because otherwise it would be against child labour laws. If they work for free it counts as a "Voluntary Fundraiser" and not "work" so they can get around the laws.
@@Ishlacorrin oh so the kids work for free so that the adults don’t get in trouble for making kids work for free, makes sense.
A big chunk percentage goes directly back to the troop for activities for the girls. I know because both my girls are in Girl scouts
Girl Guide (Canadian name) Leader here - To keep the jokiing straight (We get a lot of it😅)
FYI: The girls are getting a percentage of the sales, just not in the way one thinks off the bat.
The cookie sales go towards materials (crafts, badges, etc) and discounts on tickets for each troupe that sells, making it easier to do many more things during the year that they otherwise might not do.
IE: If a Ticket per girl for a location - lets say a Zoo trip - costs $50 per girl, after cookies the same experiance could drop to $10 per girl and sometime gets to $0 depending on the ticket
Not to mention the fact that selling cookies itself is a badge earning excersize, teaching girls to be money wise and responsible - also including prizes for the best cookie seller every year!
This isn't just some box on a shelf - these simple cookies support awesome girls doing cool things!
I'm 71 yrs old...I was an American BROWNIE/GIRL SCOUT, and these COOKIES are an AMERICAN ICON, and looked forward to EVERY SINGLE YEAR...WE ARE ADDICTED! 🥳❤🇺🇸❤🥳
I was a girl scout from 1st grade until I graduated high school. There were only five of us left in the troop at that point. They are my closest friends to this day. We just bought tickets for a vacation together today ❤
That's awesome. I hope you all have a wonderful trip.
Omg I hope you guys have the best time! ❤️🔥🫶🏾
Same here, and I believe I joined in first grade as well hehe 😊 Girl Scouts is such an amazing experience 💚
Have a great time!
I love this! Have fun on you trip! I hope this happens with my daughter who is a Brownie now!!
“So they’re selling all those cookies and do more work on top of that?… try and get a percentage of that paper that you’re makin’”😎 dude has a point lol
They do get a percentage. 100% of the money made stays with the council and troops who sold them. This funds trips, facilities, activities, equipment, etc. for those troops.
Lol he is such an icon
@@charleyhorse1864 his name is Tyler. I grew to like him for all that comments, especially the video where they tried Clamato straight up
@@liamengram6326 Girl Scout parent here; they have to purchase the cookies themselves first. They have an up front cost. The troop leader is required to set up a special bank account for all profit deposits to be made, and then the troop chooses how to spend the funds.
The troops only get around $.75 per box of cookies. The rest goes into the pockets of the council members.
Josh: Samoas
Boys: Ain't that a type of people?
I laughed out so loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean he isn't wrong, that's where they get the name from.
It's actually really racist. "Coconut" is a derogatory name for Samoans and the cookies are covered in coconut.
@liamjohnson2474 OH wow! I had no idea. So like "twinkie" or "oreo"? Same thing?
Yuck, Girl Scouts. (And I was one from Daisies to Sr Girl Scout)
It's only truly racist if the people themselves are offended by it. If the Samoan people are not offended by the name, then why should we be concerned. I know several people groups have things named after them and they are not offended, but rather honored by it. In the end, only their opinion truly depicts whether or not it is racist. If they are fine with it, or even are honored by it, then just let it be.
Samoa cookies
Have to shout out this school for letting these boys express themselves through their hair a lot of schools have issue with an Afro or cut above a 2 with a fade this shows the hair does not impair learning wish these young men all the best
@@handlenot030 Having worked within school setting myself I would assume that to participate in such an activity with their head teacher grades would have to be at a certain level. However when I made my comment I made no reference to their grades, I pointed out facts that a lot of schools have policies that mean each of these students would not be allowed on the premesis until their hair was deemed appropriate. Please reread my comment sweetie
In the 70s I sat behind a guy with a huge afro. Couldn't see a thing the teacher did on the board. 😂 audio only
@@a.p.5429 this made me laugh so hard LMFAO
I think it might impair the learning of the kids behind him - speaking as a 70s kid
Wow. The British love the cookies shaped and flavored like toast. Groundbreaking.
Next year they'll add beans
@@edman79LMAO😭
That's the only one I was scared to try. It's new.
They didn't beat the allegations 😂
These were the best part about working in childcare. I was surrounded by a bunch of little girlscout cookie dealers 😂
Sound like diabetes heaven huh. Lol
So you loved child labor
Little Molly Smith: The first taste is free. The second taste is 5 bucks. Will front quantity with a vig.
@@drakemandrake609it’s a community initiative to raise money getting funnelled directly back into charities and their program. Do you think kids doing fundraising is always child labour? It’s charity work and you don’t get a cut of charity work. They don’t have to sell any in reality as long as their dues for the camp/program are paid. Fundraising helps them learn responsibility and the money gets funnelled directly back to what they are doing and they can see the impact
@@drakemandrake609 the Girl Scouts teaches young girls independence, leadership, social skills, etc. They don’t work in factories making the cookies😂😂
I absolutely love these. Those kids are brutally honest and as an American it's funny seeing the things they actually like.
The Samoas are my faves! Always have been. I hate thin mints lol!!
It's pointless unless they are given the stuff without knowing what it is or where it comes from. UK kids definitely have a bias against US snacks, same as a lot of people from the US would have the idea that UK food is bland even before they try anything from the UK. These videos need to be blind testing to ever be taken seriously. Like these kids saying they don't like thin mints because it tastes like toothpaste is the most ridiculous opinion ever. The entire US uses mint toothpaste and thin mints are still by far the most popular cookie. They didn't want to like the cookie and that's why they didn't like it. Tell them it's a new UK product and I'll bet that the same people that didn't like the thin mints would say they like it.
@@Alominus well said!
@@AlominusYea do they not do mint flavored stuff in the UK? We have mint flavored everything and it’s delish.
@@FTLnovaKidnot really, unless it's a mint to pop in your mouth to freshen it up, ir a palette cleanser. It's the same thing with grape and blackcurrant, over here we barely have grape flavoured items, and all are replaced with (superior 😅) blackcurrant counterparts, even purple skittles are! And so if an American tried a blackcurrant thing such as Ribena and said they didn't like it its the same sort of thing, really popular here as we've gotten used to it, and not so popular over in America, so less inclined to like the product as much.
Quick question for you lads in America, how do you feel with blackcurrants - do you like it or not or is it just not really a thing in the USA
Fun fact if you don’t know! Juliet Gordon low, who founded the girl scouts, started the good old cookies in Savannah, GA! And back around 2015 their lemon cookies were actually called Savannah smiles in tribute to where it all began!
I miss the savannah smiles i used to have a dusting of powdered sugar all over myself after munching on a box of those
Troop commissions range based on the amount that they sell but typically range between $0.80-0.95 a package. My troop was able to pay for a 4 day trip to a horse riding ranch last year with our proceeds. A Girl Scout can be between 5-18 years old and the money can go towards funding community projects. We have a community garden at a retirement home that we maintain with our proceeds as well.
This makes me sad, the girls work so hard just for them to get back just a little, sorry to me its shameful… thats why most times I just donate
@@emryslcclay1356Girl scouts arent for the kids to make a living off of, it's to give them experiences and teach them values as well as promoting the community and outreach projects
@@emryslcclay1356 That is actually a very healthy commission if the cookies are around $5. a box.
growing up i knew a troop who sold enough to send over 50 girls plus a few parents to disney world with their cookie money
@@emryslcclay1356 Keep in mind this is a club that promotes giving back to the community. Hence why Girl Scouts take the money they receive and use it for community service projects. At the end of the day it's all for a good cause.
There's actually 2 conflicting records. The one Josh mentioned is Lily Bumpus, but the other one is Katie Francis who sold 44,200 boxes in 2020. Katie sold 180,000 boxes in the span of 9 years. There was also a little girl in California 10 years ago who sold 300 boxes in 6 hours by selling them outside of a legal marijuana dispensary!!
Brilliant idea from the second girl 😂
ingenuity!
Sure you know your cookies 😂
Girl in California understands how marijuana works a little too much...
@rob7953 What's your point? Children also come to understand what nicotine and alcohol does too, are you just placing arbitrary moral judgement on substance use or do you have an actual point?
I was a Girl Scout and I must say, our outngs, camps & trips were awesome & free!! We even earned a cruise to the Bahamas (We lived in South FL). The friendships and life lessons were the most valuable takeaways.
I was a girl scout too when I lived in Mass. We went to Montana!
I was on a cookie box with some friends from camp but I lost it years ago. So true about lessons learned 🏕️
The one reward our troop worked for was the Mall of America. Our troops younger girls acted up the one day I missed a meeting and when I came back and everyone was quiet, they told me why. They cancelled the trip. That was the only reason I quit.
😮😮😮 a cruise 😱
Oh noo @@elisehiddleson111 😩😭
My sister was a Girl Scout, she sold in front of krogers, and Publix stores. But our dad would really make the sales at his office of 200 employees.
These boys are so witty and entertaining, I just love it 😂😂❤
I love that the headmaster is basically a big kid when it comes to food. My Mexican family would have nodded approvingly and said: "He's a good eater." 'Nough said. 😆
I decided my husband was a keeper as he was a good eater. Fourth date
Don't make the Girl Scouts mad. Some of those girls are still working on their assassin badges.
The bar scene in Airplane! comes to mind
😂
Hit Girl from Kickass as a whimpering schoolgirl.
😂
😅😅
Girl Scout Troop leader here, from South FL 🙋🏻♀️ our troop of about 30 Girl Scouts sold over 10,000 boxes this season 🎉 our 4 top sellers sold over 1500 boxes each. Our physical selling season (selling at grocery stores/door-to-door) started in early-mid January and ended end of February. We also had online/shipping options 😉 our troop only gets about .85 cents profit per box sold, the rest goes to our local council & Girl Scout headquarters. Boxes sell for $5-6 each. The girls use their profits to fund fun activities of their choosing, supplies, etc as well as helping our local community with service projects. We also get donations to give cookies to our local Hometown Heroes ☺️
Love that you support your hometown heroes!! I send them off to my daughter when she is deployed and others in her unit. They love them!
South Florida girl scouts represent!
I would imagine it's still this way I hope... but when I was a girl scout there were also incentive rewards for hitting different numbers of boxes sold. Granted you had to sell a crazy amount to get like a bike or something. My apartment just had girl scout cookie days where the girls could set up shop in the leasing office to sell, was super convenient to grab my mail and some cookies at the same time xD
So your troop of 30 *kids* sold the equivalent of $50,000 for free in cookies his season alone and only got $8,500 to fund activities? Wouldn't you consider it a bit of a steal to make an absurd amount of money exploiting free child labour? 0:
@@xDarkTrinityx they do still have incentive rewards, like personalized converse/vans sneakers, girls scout accessories, blankets, hoodies. Super top sellers 2k boxes+ get a special day out with the council CEO, 3D printers, iPads etc.
These videos always delight me. I love the boys' reactions, but even more their on-the-spot humor. Keep these videos coming! 😊
I love watching the head master enjoying it as much as his students.
He is right…you have to keep eating to get the taste lol
He’s hilarious, I wanna be his friend!! 😂😂😂
He can certainly eat. He seemed to enjoy eating as much as the boys on their trips to Korea.
When I was a Girl Scout (many, many years ago), I lived near a large VA Hospital. We would set up in the lobby and at least half the people coming through the door would buy a box of cookies as a gift for whoever they were visiting. We did a very good business! Joke was, we couldn’t afford to buy the cookies ourselves.
9:02 While the popping candy idea is cute, in the US "lemonade" almost always refers to a non-carbonated lemon juice drink, you guys might know it as traditional/old fashioned lemonade.
Yeah, their lemonade is more like 7-Up or Sprite!
@@xo2quilt Thats sounds kinda good not gonna lie
@@ReficulDrakul 7-Up and Sprite are all right (lemon-lime flavored soda), but not as good as regular lemonade!!
It would be “lemon squash” in the UK since it’s a non-carbonated fruit drink
At least they didn't spell it Lemonaids.
6:58 "You don't like milk? You're a mammal" might be the best bit of banter so far. Cheers from the US.
The headmaster guy is the best. He needs to be a recurrent guest. Always thrilled with the food and hilarious.
He's probably real serious when he's working, but put food in front of him and he becomes one of the kids
He's in like every video
@@TheGuyCalledX Nah. Only in the school ones.
@@jsteinbrink3000 that would be called a reoccurring guest
There's a big difference in the Thin Mints if you freeze or even refrigerate them. Much better!
Exactly.
Nah
Gotta try them with vanilla ice cream. Crush the cookies and it tastes so good together
Brits don't really eat anything mint other than mint jelly with lamb, so they associate it a lot more with toothpaste. Since Americans eat lots of other mint things we don't have that association and it tastes good to us. But yes, frozen is MUCH better.
@@jenisedai nah I was born and raised in America, mint flavored desserts are trash
They used to have these cookies called Savannah Smiles that were lemon cookies with a layer of powdered sugar on them. They were my favorite. Now they have the lemonades which are just not the same
The truest statement ever made
I haven’t known peace since they discontinued the Savannah Smiles 😢
When I was selling them they were just savannahs.
I miss the lemon sandwich cookie
The maple in canada were the best
Fun fact: you can microwave the adventurefuls cookies for a couple of seconds, and the caramel will actually soften up for a chewier texture. 😁
The boys are great fun but the headmaster is the main character! He's so committed to his work, devoted to his kids, and a good sport who's up for anything. He went with the Fulham boys to Korea for boot camp! He, in my book, is an absolute champ!
My daughter was a girl scout for five years, we stood in the snow and blizzards selling cookies. Her troop donated half of what they got back to either the town library of a local charity and the other half went to pay for a camp weekend or a fun day
My daughter sold the most inherent troop; she sold 2500 boxes. I used to work for an airline when she was a little girl. I sold them to other employees with my company at that time. She won a trip to Universal Studios with her troop.
So what do you think your daughter learned from the experience of you selling her cookies for her?
@@suspirodelmoro1430That her mother loves her very much.
You are showing her how to be business woman and network which is what the girscouts is all about. Good mom. I'm sure daughter did hee part too.
@suspirodelmoro1430 I was also able to take my kid to work at the time. Also, everyone knew my daughter. And finally, we sold in or neighborhood. So, to answer your question, as a girl scout, she learned a lot about life, survival, giving back to the less fortunate and being a good scout trooper. she was happy when she sold the most cookies in her troop.
12:05 Actually good advice!
I can't believe they didn't give them Trefoils! Shortbread would definitely be right up the Brits' alley.
I scrolled way too far to see if I was the only one who was waiting for the shortbreads to come out
Those were always my favorite!
Compared to the shortbread in England, I’m afraid they would be called rubbish. 😂
My only guess is that Juniper and Molly were all sold out at that point, since Josh and Ollie bought some of everything they had. With booth sales, there's a limited amount, and when you sell out, you're done.
For sure!
The principal is my favorite! He has the sweetest gig
He a got a real sweet tooth too😂😂😂
"I wouldn't eat them" as he points to the rest of the cookie he just put in his mouth cracks me up
It would be EPIC if you traveled to the US with the Head Master! He is very funny!
JUST Ollie and the Headmaster and a credit card and then a video of Josh reacting to the bill and aftermath.
@@scottlavigne28 I think Josh would be shocked not because the amount of money spend, but the things they bought.
@@darrelarno9151 I think Josh would be shocked by the bill, then his shock would be quickly overcome by the rest.
I love the Head Master so much. He does need to be a reoccurring travel buddy.
Poor man has to recoup from the Korean Military training first poor guy. 😂
We need more of them. I swear, they're like my daily dose of serotonin. :>>>
It’s important to know that there are two bakeries that make Girl Scout cookies: Little Brownie Bakers (the original baking company) and ABC Bakery. They supply different regions of the US, and you can tell which is which based on the names they call the cookies. The original cookie names (Tagalong, Samoas, Dosidos) hail from Little Brownie Bakers. After living in regions that had both, I can say that cookies come from Little Brownie Bakers are superior - the taste is just way better overall, but then again they are the original bakery!
We have Little Brownie Bakers Girl Scout Cookies in my region, and I kept waiting for the Trefoils.
Completely agree. I think that's why they didn't like the Thin Mints.
Very interesting 😀
You can also find ABC and Little Brownie Bakers cookies versions rebranded and sold on store shelves I think ABC mainly sells through Dollar General at least they did 6 years ago when I worked at a DG
Girl scout cookies originally started out of Muskogee, Oklahoma.
5:10 Well, as an ex-Girl scout, about 60% of the earnings go to the actual company, abour 20-21% go to covering the cost of baking the cookies and the cookie-selling program cost, and the rest goes to the troop to be able to do other activities. My troop used to plan a huge camping trip every year, maybe a couple ice-skating days and stuff like that, and we'd use the rest to donate to the community.
I was a Girl Scout in the late 70s/early 80s. We went door-to-door hawking our cookies. I hit up my relatives and paper route customers. We learned social skills talking to strangers and how to handle money/make change. We used the funds to buy camping equipment, etc. for the troop. I still have my vest and all the badges I earned (none for selling cookies). I still love supporting the Girl Scouts buying cookies and donating several boxes to the troops. My favorite are the Samoas, and I've been known to eat a sleeve of Thin Mints in one sitting in the past.
"This is your problem now"
Kid knows what's up. You don't want the Girl Scouts as an enemy.
😂😂😂

Lorenzo don’t want that smoke 🤣🤣🤣
When I was in the U.S Navy on deployment the crew would get care packages of Girl Scout Cookies and other products donated to us.
It was awesome.
My favorites are the Samoas and the Peanut Butter (all) ones.
Thank you for your service. When my son was in Afghanistan, I’d send him crazy Asian snacks and koolaid.

That comment was Ollie quality!
He was in some of the earlier videos when they were in Grade 8. He had funny reactions back then too.
😂😂😊
That part got me too
These young gents have a great sense of humor and the headmaster is awesome. So glad I stumbled upon this channel
“Thin mints taste like toothpaste” might be one the most offensive quotes to someone who loves ‘em 😂
I know right?! My soul was hurting when a bunch of them didn't like the Thin Mints! It killed me when one of them asked, "Are these popular?" 😭😭😭
They’re not wrong through. Worst GSC flavor ever.
I recently discovered that sassafras, the flavor in root beer is added to medicine in the UK so root beer tastes like medicine to them... but we in the US use mint flavor in toothpaste but don't just associate mint with toothpaste. Maybe it's the type of mint? US toothpaste tends to be spearmint not peppermint, right?
It really was.
Apparently instead of using the delicious mint plant to flavor toothpaste they should make it taste like aspirin or something so lunatics can stop acting like the flavor of mint CAME from Toothpaste!!!!
That one kid who said he’d go to the corner market instead reminded me of when I was a Brownie (Canada) going door to door with the Guides selling cookies and one house a gruff man told us he wouldn’t buy any because he didn’t believe in cookies. Shattered my whole little world. 😆
@@ElizabethCLOTTEY-mn1ob He just said flat out, "I don't believe in cookies," and shut the door on us. I was 6, it was mindblowing at the time. XD
I'm glad you're using the same group of kids with all the videos. Great selection of personalities!
For the thin mint cookies (biscuits), I recommend to have them chilled and they are better that way.
My daughter is a girl scout (a Daisy) and this was her first cookie season. She sold the highest in her group! It was actually lots of fun and my daughter, who is 6, really learned a lot about money management, customer service skills, etc.
When I buy I always give the money to the girls, let them make change, and hand me the boxes. No parents! That's how they learn.
Oh my god those girls made bag, yall probably bought 2-3 of everything! As a former girl scout myself, cookie selling was always my favorite part. When I was a kid in the 90s, we earned points based on how many cookies we sold, individually and as a troop, and there were benchmarks for rewards as a troop (for instance if we sell 3000 boxes the entire troop gets to go to the girl scout summer camp) and as an individual (one year I traded in my points for a doorbell and an inflatable chair lol). We HUSTLED. It was always a lot of fun and it got me socializing with and talking to people as a young autistic child in a way that was really valuable for my long term ability to mask and operate in society.
I never had that experience as a young autistic but having the experience does help.
biscuits
@@dominicijavier1575 cookies
@@dominicijavier1575 Are you suggesting they expand to sell biscuits for dogs?? Horses?? Or just a Brit imposing your word choice on America? 🤣 Is there something called a cookie in the UK?
@@xo2quilt I'm asian. lol I was just making fun of how brits correct the term jeez. you americans are such snowflakes
I just absolutely love these guys from the British Boys School. They are so cute, funny, polite, and downright adorable. Headmaster Smith is cute too. Love to all.
The caramel delights, (Samoas here) are available @ Aldi stores. I absolutely love those!
I'm pretty sure they're trademarked.
I looked it up, and the ones sold at US Aldi stores is called Benton's Caramel Coconut Fudge. And as a house brand there's nothing indicating who makes them.
Keebler (which owns Little Brownie Bakers) sells Coconut Dreams, which are pretty close to Samoas. I found images of both ingredient labels, and they're not the same as the one at Aldi. I would suspect that the one that Aldi sells is made for them by Interbake, which also sells cookies that I've found at dollar stores. Like "Oven Baked Fudge Mints" and "Oven Baked Fudge Covered" peanut butter cookies.
@@ypw510 Yeah, many stores also sell versions of Thin Mints, but they aren't as good. Knock-offs never are.
@@vaskylark
The ones that Interbake sells as a generic are pretty close. They’re also cheap and available year round.
1:41 You have to eat them frozen! Also, they are great broken up, over vanilla ice cream.
Omg I was yelling at the screen that they should have frozen them!
Thank you... I was going to say they need to know some of the tricks in eating them. Cheers!
I have never tried that! I love them as is but that sounds brilliant!
@@jessm89
😂😂😂 I did the same thing and said it out loud “they need to be in the freezer (thin mints)
My coworker asked me what the heck I was watching
Still, I’m surprised they didn’t like the Thin Mints. I thought everyone loved those - frozen or not. Brits really do seem to have an aversion to mint flavoring.
You need to put the thin mints in the freezer. Maybe it's an American thing, but my boxes of thin mints go straight into the freezer. Soo good!
That’s the only way we eat them in my family. Lol
I’ve never heard of it. How does it make it better?
@@elizabethchase6528 I’ve always liked thin mints (cream center not cookies) with cold milk. Maybe it’s a similar thing.
I was just about to write the same comment!
I can't stand mint and chocolate together like York Peppermint Patties or Andes after dinner mints --YET for some reason storing Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies in the freezer before you eat them makes the mint and chocolate flavor combination taste amazing.
For me, eating them without freezing them first just doesn't work.
Yessss. They must be cold. 🤣🤣🤣
I was a Girl Scout leader. We only get a portion and it goes to different projects we do with the Girl Scouts to earn badges and teach them various skills. Sometimes it's camping and they have campgrounds they run. I attended a Mommy and Me with my daughter and we learned to use a canoe. Cheers 🎉
I was a Girl Scout leader when my oldest was little. I do not like the mint. The caramel and peanut butter are where it's at 😎 Being a Girl Scout leader was fun. We made crafts, we learned about the world around us, and after we sold our cookies, we would get an outing. For example, I took my troop to Build A Bear. The troop does get to keep a portion of the sales. It was a fun experience. I enjoyed it.
Anyone notice Dave pointing out the correct spelling for the caramel delLites ones at 3:29 ? That just proves that being the Headmaster at Fulham is engrained
He doesn’t understand marketing.
@@chrispavlich9656he totally did understand the marketing. But his brain automatically goes to correct the spelling
The solar panel bit and the "try to get a % of that paper" had me howling 🤣
I was a girl scout back in the early 70's. The cookies were cheaper, tasted better, and there were more per box. Now I dread seeing the cookie snipers outside the stores.
Couldn’t believe how small they are at $7 a box
Omg that is so funny 😂
Them immediately downing my favorite GS cookie (and as a former Scout) has me in tears 😂
Also, the money raised from our cookie sales - as well as the fall catelogue, which is a lot of seasonal/holiday treats, gifts, and such - goes towards the troops uniforms, trips, camps, events, and occasionally to rent their meeting spaces. Our troop did at least one horse camp every summer! And it's basically all school age kids, roughly ages 5-18 in about six different levels by age. Each level has a name (the youngest are called daisies) and certain patches to be earned to "graduate" to the next level. The patches are earned after completing certain events/objectives including nature camps, cultural events, community service, and taking on leadership roles. Its incredibly motivating and fulfilling for young girls to be able to find their passions and their confidence to take on things in the future with such a supportive foundation. 💜
Got to love Lord Smith, Dave you're a legend "I was gonna say I couldn't eat a whole packet but you know me I could, that would be a lie" and "Chocolate goes with everything, roast dinners!"😂😂🍪🍪🍪.
Lord Smith is definitely my favorite.
@@AC-ni4gt Plus, generally so positive. He'd be a good administrator to have.
And then when he sticks a whole one in his mouth and he's like "I wouldn't eat these..." and realises what he'd just done. He's great.
I love❤️ the teacher. He could do stand up. As an American, Girl Scout cookies are sought after. We all look forward to that time of year.
The best way to eat a Thin Mint is to freeze them. :)
Some in my freezer right now.
Very true
@@tony_25or6to4 Me too!!! Best way to eat them is frozen!!
Best way to eat a Thin Mint is to have a Lemonade instead. 😊
I look so forward to this set of kids anytime they are on. They have the most precious reactions to our American treats and foods. Love y’all from Oklahoma in the good ole USA.
I’m an Oklahoma viewer and subscriber too!
It’s been really fun watching these videos and seeing the boys grow up, they’re all great characters 😂
I was a Girl Scout like 40 years ago. 😅 Seems like a dream now it was so long ago. But even back then the Thin Mints were still the most popular next to the Shortbread cookie (can't remember the name). The caramel Delites were only called Samoas. Chocolate covered Peanut butter cookies were Tagalongs. There was no such thing as Lemonades or Adventure whatever they were, or Toastyays. Fun watching these young lads give them a try!
Trefoils! The best!
@@pgtrish Yes! Thank you!
Trefoils must be dipped in milk! Underrated.
I don't know how no one told him, but freezing Thin Mints is what made them taste sooo much better!! I knew those cookies as Somas, Tag-alongs and Do-si-dos. I didn't know there were other names for them. Girl scouts had it made with cookies, boy scouts had popcorn.
4:18 “I don’t like supporting people that much” IM DYING
I love how proper FRO's are back in England. Love to see it!
Thank you to Headmaster Smith and The Fulham Boys School for another great video!
I remember selling Girl Scout Cookies for $3.50 a box and that was only back in the late 2000s to early 2010s. They've also changed and added so many different cookies. Those last two in the video were not Girl Scout Cookies in the 2000s, those have to be recent. I remember selling Thin Mints, Caramel Delights, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Shortbreads, and Lemonades.
The constant mention that the girls work in the cookie factories is hilarious.
That was so funny! As if my Girl Scouts would actually make the cookies 😂
@@monicaalvarez5696
That's actually the origin of Girl Scout cookies. They were unofficial bake sale fundraisers. I would suspect that it was mostly moms doing the work though.
Former Girl Scout here, cookie season was so fun when it came around. Mama was active duty Army and would take an order sheet with her for me and I would go door to door as well. Sometimes the people would say they had already ordered from the Brownie Girls but we still got a lot of orders! Thin Mints are my favorite followed the Shortbreads which I think are called Trefoils now. The lemon ones are good with tea and the Samoas were always popular. If you still have any of the Thin Mints put them in the freezer overnight, so good!
3:39 My South Asian brain auto-corrected them to ‘Samosas’ for a moment 😂
I’d much rather have samosas than samoas lol
Bro, I did the same thing 😂
Not even South Asian but my brain worked this way 🤪🤪🤪
But Samoa is delicious.@@jwtwfv
I'm not south Asian and I did the same thing lolol 😂
What does this school do to its students!? I want the recipe! They are calm, witty, polite and articulate. Love all of them. The oldies and the new.
Ps. I wasn't joking about the recipe, I want it!
The teacher or whoever he is in the video is so charming. Love him
He is the Headmaster
Lorenzo has evolved from a sweet boy who called himself a man to a man who roasts the hell out of the snacks.
It's good to see Jerome back.
I miss Henok, Arthur and Mattyos.
But the boys have grown!! Imran, Max, Theo, Dagi❤️
This had me rolling. You picked the perfect students too. "I can see myself eating them but not enjoying them". Love Brit humor. You guys hit it perfect. Thanks.
I love their honesty. I'm not a big fan of cookies in general so I'd probably have very similar reactions to some of the kids.
I’m glad they liked the Tagalongs (peanut butter patties) because they’re my favorite.
Regarding the teacher thinking the Lemonades should be fizzy, someone should probably tell him and the Jolly crew that U.S. lemonade isn’t carbonated (quick history lesson: When lemonade first became a thing, there were a million different recipes for it. But one using soda water took off in the UK while it didn’t in the U.S.)
British lemonade is more like 7-Up or Sprite.
As an Aussie kid and spending years in the US, the first time I tried lemonade there I nearly cried. It was not what I expected. To this day, I still don't like it lol. Must have made an impact. Same thing with apple cider. Here it is carbonated, but imagine my surprise when I was handed a cup of warm liquid when I asked for some...
It's the small differences noone even thinks to mention that shock the most!
@@estherkeeler9211 Honestly as an Amaerican Aussie Lemonade sounds better. We have a monster flavor called "Aussie Punch" and its a carbonated lemonade. So fucking good.
@@estherkeeler9211 Absolutely!! I must admit, I fell in love with pear cider when I visited England! Of course, that lovely hard cider doesn't have anything like it here in the USA.
@@estherkeeler9211 If it had been carbonated here in the U.S., it wouldn’t likely have been able to develop its cultural image here as something that can be made at home by the pitcherful. Most people here don’t have soda siphons. Even if it’s not so close to the truth these days. It certainly wouldn’t have spawned the image of children’s lemonade stands (scoff if you want, but those used to clean up when there was construction in the neighborhood).
Girl Scout Cookies remind me of Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams: “Are they made from Real Girl Scouts?”
So the Lemonades are made from real lemons AND real Girl Scouts? :-)
As a former Girl Scout, yes!
I've been joking for 20 years that Panda Express meals are made from real pandas and you just made me realize that I must've gotten the idea from that movie. 😆
@@Osprey850 Hey culture is fluid and overlaps happen
I think about that line every time I see Girl Scout cookies.
"You can't drink milk? You're a mammal!" XD dang u Ollie, making us cackle again
In all fairness, I also don't like milk on its own. It gives a very weird taste to me. But somehow milk with cereal(like corn flakes or cheerios) works fine with me.
To be fair, most mammals are lactose intolerant by adolescence.
Yeah no other mammal drinks milk after childhood.
I mean, I'm lactose intolerant myself. So milk isn't for me.
I hate milk too, I don't remember ever liking it 😂
Thanks for coming to New Jersey. Hope you had a good time. I’m a jersey resident was a Boy Scout. Have a daughter support the Girl Scouts fully but my favorite is the Samoa and the sugar cookies.
I enjoy these young gentlemen and their take on things. Polite, but straight forward.
Juliette Gordon Low was the American founder of Girl Scouts of the USA. Inspired by the work of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of Scout Movement, she joined the Girl Guide movement in England, forming her own group of Girl Guides there in 1911.
Fun tip for the Thin Mints: keep them in the freezer! They don’t get rock solid but when it’s really hot outside if you eat one or two it’s SO nice and just refreshes you after being out in the heat! :D
I've always done it that way 😁
These kids are awesome, their options and reactions are fantastic.
It’s not even Girls Scouts Cookies season anymore, but I still have a lot in stock, all the flavors. From January to April, Girls Scouts Cookies are in my area. I support raising funds for Girls Scouts, and it’s fun to visit each booth around my area and make some friends and community groups. I’ve been volunteering to help out Girls Scouts members to set up booths and sell some of their items to the community; it’s fun and engaging 💚🍪
5:40 Nope. Those are Brownies’ uniforms. They are the young ones; the older girls are Girl Scouts, and they wear green.🤗
That’s what I thought because I was a Brownie & a Girl Scout and remembered green uniforms for GS.
Brownies, daisies, juniors, and cadets are the oldest that where blue. I never made it to Cadets tho
@@callherfoofooSeniors and Ambassadors are the oldest.. 9th-12th grade :)
@@callherfoofooalso, daisies are the youngest who wear blue. Cadettes and older wear a khaki vest!
