What you call biscuits, we call cookies. What you call cookies, we also call cookies. They can be soft, hard, hot, cold, big, or little; but they’re all cookies.
KUDOS to the "Cookie Moms". That can be quite an undertaking! Good for her.
We call them "Dough Flats" on Mars.
comes from the dutch word koekje
Leave it to America to have such simplicity when it comes to what is considered a, "cookie." However we have so many words that sound the same but have completely different meanings. It's no wonder why the rest of the world finds us extremely confusing. 😂😂😂
@@freedomrings.0007
NEWSFLASH:
The English use the same words.
Nothing better than opening your freezer in August and finding you still have a box of Thin Mints you forgot about.
It’s like Christmas in August when that happens 😂
Better than winning the lottery. Maybe.
I just opened a box last week
Yep, right next to my beloved peanut butter patties 🥜
@@justme-js4dr yes the peanut butter ones are soo good!
The first flavor, Thin Mints, is the MOST popular in the US. It is so popular that other products ( ice cream, coffee creamers, etc) are now being made in Thin Mint flavors.
And I will go to my grave never understanding WHY. Mint is nasty, it's like the one kid said, you are eating toothpaste lol.
They're the only cookie I like .Thin Mints are the cheeznezz. I love the milkshakes too .🤸
@@Cynthea_Lee
Why?
Because 95% of the public doesn’t think it’s nasty.
There is nothing wrong with being in the wrong 5%. lol
@@tvc1848 lol I never was one to follow the crowd ;)
@@Cynthea_Lee I love toothpaste flavor too. I'd eat it if I could, LOL.
Dudes that like beans on toast aren't qualified to judge desserts.
well said
Thin Mints from the freezer are money! Carmel Delights are my favorite!
😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mine to. My box a year don't last long enough to stick em in the freezer ☺️@@treezelbub3064
Thin Mints slap!🤤 the secret is to put them in the freezer first . My second favorite are the caramel delites.Lemon ups are good as well
This is the truth
Girl Scout cookies are both a culinary and cultural phenomenon. Huge percentage of citizenry enjoy supporting Girl Scouts and make a point of finding a type(s) of cookie they like and then ordering them. So, most people look forward to their annual treat of Girl Scout cookies as you might anticipate Easter cream eggs.
To answer you, yes we do really enjoy the cookies. They have quite a few varieties. We also like to help and support groups like the Girls Scouts. So it's a combination of both. We understand how the money is spent and we support that by buying their cookies. The cookies are no harder than any other cookie. Some are softer and some are harder but geez you won't break a tooth on them.
I was wondering about all the complaints about the hardness of the cookies too. It was funny when Lewis raised the question/joke about weaker teeth. I know most Americans have had their teeth treated with significant amounts of fluoride. Perhaps, we do have extremely strong teeth on average and can bite into harder foods without it being difficult?
If the guy's teeth hurt from eating a cookie he needs to see a dentist
@@KatieBellino Oh there's no question they have a weaker palate than Americans. I've hear other Brits say the same thing. They have a more difficult time with spicy foods too. And I've always wondered how 2 countries can be so close geographically and yet they have very little knowledge of our foods. Why don't we share more food items with them? How do they not know what cornbread is?? Things like that.
Money is 3/6 to baker. 2/6 to big whigs and 1/6 to troop. Its really a scam and way to get around child labor laws.
Omg Girl Scout cookies are like crack addicting. Samoas are life 🤤 Girl Scouts do volunteer work for the community, they don't make money off anything but cookies.
Addictive ^
Can I ask where you are located? I’d never heard of them being called Samoas until today. I’m from Wisconsin and they are the Caramel Delites here.
But I agree, they are so good. We call them Samoas in New York
@@nicolebizybe7796 I'm from Florida and they were always called samoas. I moved to South Carolina and they're still samoas here too.
@@nicolebizybe7796 I'm gathering it's an east coast thing
Thin Mints are the bomb. They are so good. I could eat a sleeve of them at one setting. They taste the best when you freeze them first.
Agreed!!!
Same
Yep, freeze them!
Thin Mints are the best. These guys are from a country that have some of the blandest food. Can't expect them to appreciate something as wonderful as Thin Mints.
@@mortimerbrewster3671 I agree. Maybe if they had a beans on toast cookie they would love it LOL
Naw the girl scout cookies are absolutely delicious. The fact that they only come around once a year to makes them taste all the more better
Well that depends on taste buds because I've tried 7 types including brownies and i don't like them some taste nasty and the ones that are alright are bland for me. Still buy them and give them to my grandma or aunts as a gift.
@@rubenarias6538 I was a girl scout, and hated the cookies, I'm 50ish now, and STILL can't stand the taste of them.
@@Cynthea_Lee it seems you either like them or you don't me and my mom don't but my aunts and grandma absolutelly love the caramel, peanut butter and lemonades
It doesn't matter if we like them or not. Every work colleague with a kid in Girl Scouts brings in their sales sheets and we have to buy them to show support. Girl Scouts is a fantastic organization so happy to do it! I was a girl scout as a child.
You said it my mom and I don't like them but since my aunts and grandma do I buy them as a gift for them.
I'm retired now but when I worked I hated when parents brought this stuff to work. When my kids were little I would just buy it all myself and avoid the hassle of selling it. Lol
I disagree the girl scouts have gone bad in their morals these days
This too lol
No one's gonna force me to buy that filth....
They're THIN MINTS, my favorite Girl Scout cookie
There's no keeping a box around me 😅.
Same 🤤
They are the best cold IMO but I really like mint ❤
I was a girl scout and loved it! We went camping and learned survival skills! It was the best childhood experience ever! Back then..way back our cookies were 50 cents a box...true!
They don't need a fancy package because we all know what the feck we're getting. 😂 We look forward to when the cookies will be available! My fav are the Samoas. Nom Nom! 🤤
Cookie dealer here😂 only 4 months girls get a cut, the council pays the bakers. Fun fact when Girl Scouts first. Began the girls did bake the cookies. Because they got so popular bakers were brought in. Many Americans buy a lot and freeze them. Girl Scout cookies freeze well.
Thin mints are better when ice cold.
Oh. They are the best frozen!!
I was a Girl Scout. The uniforms are green. The brown uniforms are Brownie Scouts. Girl Scouts are like the Girl Guides in the UK. Do you still have Girl Guides?
Being first I get to speak for all Americans. ;-)
We really don't understand your division of cookies vs biscuits.
These are all cookies. Biscuits is a whole other thing, which are NOT scones.
OK I wasn't first; my comments remain the same.
Same happens the other way around with jam and jelly. Americans divide them while in UK both would just be jam. They already have something else they call jelly which is gelatin or Jell-O.
You can thank the Dutch for the word cookie before we switched the U. S. also called them biscuits.
You're not first on my timeline.
You are 3rd. 😅
Bronze 🥉 for you. 😉
@@redram6080 jelly is not the same as Jell-O. While jelly has a gelatin-like consistency, it feels and tastes different than Jell-O. You can't spread Jell-O on toast. Jelly is made by cooking fruit juice with sugar and acid (like the thickening agent pectin) to help create a gelatin-like consistency. Once cooked down, it’s strained to remove any fruit pieces or seeds, leaving a smooth, transparent spread behind. Jam is also cooked with sugar and acid, but uses chopped, crushed, or puréed fruit, not fruit juice. Pectin is sometimes added, but jams are slightly looser in consistency than their jelly counterparts, and have added texture from the fruit.
@@amnz-pq6py All of that is true in USA but not in the UK and many other countries in the world. Like I said earlier, the UK calls what Americans call Jell-O, jelly (the wibbly wobbly gelatin desert).Fruit spread you put on sandwiches are called jam there regardless of if there is fruit chunks in it or not.
I was a Girl Scout and later worked at a Girl Scout camp in tennessee. We had a nice pool, ropes course, archery and 40 horses along with canoes on a beautiful wooded camp owned by the Girl Scouts. There are many camps like this that are funded by Girl Scouts of America. The troops do trips and special projects throughout the year. Our horses were very well cared for all year long. When I was a kid we went door to door to sell the cookies for a business badge. Now they set up tables at Walmarts and malls and parents send interoffice emails to sell directly at the office. A lot of people love these cookies and get excited when cookie seasons start.
The Headmaster has a great personality. His reactions are great.
I always go by his reaction, his is the one to trust.
My wife is my daughters cookie mom this year. They had a goal to sell 600 and sold 1824 boxes at $6.00 a box. They only sell for 4 months out of the year.
KUDOS to the "Cookie Moms". That can be quite an undertaking and very time consuming! Good for her!
4 MONTHS!!!!???????? I only see them in February... tf???
@@Yvonne-BellaI think a lot of it is door to door cause I also don’t seem them at stores for four months
$6 a box!?!?!? Where are you selling these things, Rodeo Drive? I think they're only $3, maybe $4 per box here, but even that's way too high when they should be $2 per box.
@@greggoodman3520 Taxachusses!
We sell more Thin Mints in 4 months than Nabisco sells Oreos in entire year in the US!!!
Dude, Boy Scouts was started in the UK in 1909 by Robert Baden-Powell who was a friend of the lady, Juliette Gordon Lowe, who started Girl Scouts in the US in 1912.
The troop gets about $.67 per box. The bakeries get paid then the rest goes to that troop’s local Girl Scout Council. Each council is responsible for maintaining Girl Scout camps and running Girl Scout programs throughout the year.
Lifetime Girl Scout and 13 year troop leader.
We love our Girl Scout cookies. They are only sold once a year so we stock up. The profits from the sale of these cookies fund all the troops and their activities for the year. When I was a Scout in the 50's and 60's. we got to go to Washington, D.C. and toured the White House, and we went on many overnight camping trips.. During the summer I went to Girl Scout Day camp for 2 weeks every summer. We had one overnight sleep over where we camped out under the stars in sleeping bags or bed rolls. We learned survival skills, which are good life lessons. We sang songs and told stories around a campfire and made s'mores. We learned how to make food in aluminum foil packages, filter brook water and go potty in the woods and bury it so animals don't come. Learned to tell time and direction by the suns position in the sky and shadows and by the stars at night. Learned how to make a shelter out of branches and much more. The best was the commeradory and working together for common goals. Boy Scouts started in the U.K. at the turn of the 20th century by Lord Robert Baden Powell. And Girl Scouts by Juliette Gordon Low, in 1912 Anyway, in the U.S the Thin Mints are the most popular of all the cookies with the Samoas second. Shortbreads are very popular too, as well as choc. peanut butter. Over here, cookies are cookies, hard or soft, no distinction.
I once heard a comment where someone said that that the mint flavor taste like toothpaste and now, when someone is testing to see if they like that flavor in a cookie, they go back to that response "OMG, tastes like toothpaste!"
Each section in America has their own bakery that does the baking and boxing of the cookies and each section taste a little different.
Some of the Girl Scouts go door to door and others get permission to sell outside a grocery store or mall. The reason they're only available 4 months out of the year is because the absence of them makes them more popular.
Imagine only being able to buy Reese peanut butter cups from January to April and only if you know someone who has a daughter in the girl scouts. I would never think to go to the mall to find a girl scout, you're just lucky to run into one when you go to shop.
They actually have a Girl Scout cookie locator now on the web that will tell you which stores they will be at near you. Needless to say, I went a few times. 😁
Just go to a grocery store I usually always see them outside of a grocery store
I was a girl scout and my daughter was a girl scout.
Yes, I buy the cookies every year. I usually get more Thin mint boxes then any of the other GS cookies.
Their reaction to eating the cookies is SHOCKING!!! Here in America, people can hardly wait to get their hands on the Thin Mint cookies. They are a shortbread kind of biscuit covered in mint flavored chocolate. Baking companies make the cookies and the girls sell them. I LOVE Thin Mint cookies. Brownies are the name of the youngest Girl Scouts. Brownie uniforms are brown vests, skirts, sashes and beanies. Girl Scouts wear the same uniform, but in the green color that they show on the screen. Girl Scouts used to go door-to-door selling the cookies, but now-a-days, it isn't safe for the girls to sell the cookies in that fashion. Now, they find an area store that is willing to allow them (along with an adult) to sell the cookies inside or just outside of a store like Walmart or Target. Sometimes, friends of the moms of the girls buy the cookies directly from a Girl Scout.
There are other flavors besides Thin Mints. Thin Mints are the most popular.
The cookies are available for only 4 months each year.
They DO have Girl Scout Jamborees once each year, which is like going to a campout. I bet you could learn much about the Girl Scouts from wikipedia.com
The majority of people without European ancestry are lactose intolerant, so developing a dislike for something that gives you intestinal upset is reasonable.
Girl Scout cookies are good for packaged cookies.
They ate the thin mint cookies totally wrong. They must be kept in the freezer. So good that way.
ETA: The girl’s troop only makes about $1.50 per box I believe. Most of the money goes to the manufacturer. And that $1.50 goes to the troop that each girl belongs to. It helps fund things throughout the year. (At least I believe that’s how it works. Never a member myself.)
P.S. I am not a fan of milk. Unless it’s chocolate milk of course!
Definitely one of the best ways. The other is with ice cream.
I echo this… must be in freezer first!!!
The troop gets about $.67 per box. The bakeries get paid then the rest goes to that troop’s local Girl Scout Council. Each council is responsible for maintaining Girl Scout camps and running Girl Scout programs throughout the year.
1/4 of 1 billion is still pretty good. Support the Girl Scouts
So addictive!!
Bless you for not saying addicting ❤
I was a Girl Scout in the 1960's. We sold cookies back then also. I buy about 20 b0xes each year (most can be frozen). The cookies are good and I'm supporting a worthy cause.
Young people don’t like thin mints but as you get older you fall in love with them. Some people prefer to freeze them and then eat them. I like them either way. 😊
You better add "most" or "some" next to that, cuz me and the rest of the people I know my age or younger be feening for a box alone. I'll fight you for 5. We look at those like crack, too.
@@Yvonne-Bella agree most 🙂
"digestive biscuit" sounds like something you take when you have an upset stomach.
I absolutely love watching British people trying American food! The faces the kids make are priceless, sometimes!😂 Great videos!👍💙
FYI ….Thin Mints so do not taste like brushing your teeth and eating!😂 My favorite are the Peanut Butter Patties! I used to be a Daisy Scout then a Brownie Scout , Jr Scout Cadet Scout and then a Sr Girl Scouts. It just goes with your age or grade you are in.
And the cookies are sold once a Year for 4 months during the beginning of the year. But these girls are set up outside of grocery or shopping centers in the COLD trying to sell their cookies. They get big awards for selling the most in each region. Like paid for TRIPS and other prizes for being top sellers.
My daughter always sold at least 1000 boxes a year. She banked so much money in her G.S. account that we took a week long road trip to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas for her senior trip. She covered the whole thing.
That's a ton! I think I only ever sold like 120 boxes or so. We were in a small town though. They let her have a personal account that she could use on whatever? Our troop didn't do that. You could earn towards going to camp and then money was pooled for troop trips (was this a troop trip). We weren't allowed to take money with us to take a family vacation.
Her last three years of scouting, she was the only scout left in her troop. It was just her, troop leaders, and me (the cookie captain). She paid for camp too ( two weeks every summer for herself) and donated some of the money to some scouts who could not afford uniforms. And the trip to Vegas was for just the people associated with the troop. Since she earned the money she got to decide what to do with it.
@@kenyaswain1962 That makes sense. A nice benefit to being the only one left!
the samoas are the best cookie imo, but I love coconut
I can’t stand coconut but looove samoas that’s how good they are! 😭
My sister used to a regional director for Girl Scouts and oversaw troop cookie allocations. It was a full-time job in and if itsself. Lol
I ‘m a retired newspaper editor and seeing this video reminded me about a funny story. About 10 years ago after Colorado legalized marijuana a Girl Scout sold her cookies outside a pot shop. She sold hundreds of boxes in a few hours.
I remember that and I said "that girl's got some game!" 😅 Smart😍
I was in NJ in the 70’s. Sold a lot of cookies one year. Maybe 80 boxes. lol thin mints great! Peanut butter great! Trefoils (shortbread) great! They have new cookies nowadays.
I have 2 boxes of Thin Mints & a box of Samoas in my freezer right now.
We definitely need to send you some!
Thin Mints do'nt have THAT much mint in them. They're good! also, while Girl Scouts sell their cookies, Boy Scouts have Boy Scout Popcorn that they sell. GS Cookies and BS Popcorn are both pretty good. Boy Scout Carmel Corn, and Girl Scout Peanut butter Patties, are my favorites. And the packaging doesn't have to be eye-catching, because they don't sell them in stores. The ONLY way to get Girl Scout cookies, is to buy them from a girl scout. So the packaging isn't meant for like, catching your eye on a shelf in the market.
These guys are British. Americans love em. Girl Scouts also sell them door to door. When a Girl Scout knocks, it's hard to say no.
I don’t think they do that anymore where I live, I just see them sell it in front of a store, usually grocery stores.
The money goes to camping programs, educational programs, help for educationally disabled, all sorts of stuff. The girls range in age from 5-19, plus there are adult programs. Me and my sister were scouts, she was a scout master for her daughter's troop, and she and her daughter master the grand kids troop. Her husband and sons and grand boys are all boyscouts. Scouting teaches kids responsibility, civic duty, and patriotism. Selling cookies gets you tickets for girlscout only concerts, sporting events. Maintains the sleep away and horse camps. Surf camp, and a bunch of other stuff.
I like Thin mints. I buy a few boxes every year. I always think I should buy more. My daughter was a Daisy- that is younger than a brownie. It is a great organization and the girls learn so much.
Girl Scouts do a lot more than sell cookies and go camping. Both Girl and Boy Scouts have certain goals to meet over their full time as a scout. They even help elderly cross the road. Learn to cook, charity work, tutoring other kids in school and so much more. That's how the receive all the pins and patches on their uniforms. So they're being taught to be good stewards in many ways.
Their 4 month selling season is the hook. You eat all that scrumptiousness, then crave them for 8 months.
The money goes to the Girl Scouts of America foundation which help girls across America to learn stuff like helping their community and to learn about a lot more
Thin mints are my FAVORITE
i was a girl scout when i was a kid, in my troop i always was the best seller cause my parents would take my order form to work and everyone at their jobs would order some. i don't have no kids but if i had a daughter she's goin in girl scouts, momma needs her thin mints lol. and you can only buy these cookies once a year from girl scouts, not like they sell them in store, i mean some brands make girl scout cookie flavored stuff but you don't see it much
I sent some Girl Scout cookies to Sweden a few months ago. Recky and Carol have a channel and did an unboxing from Kansas. They loved all cookies except the chocolate mint ones. I think they should have eaten them frozen.
I saw that! Thin Mints are my favorite, but they really made me want to try the lemon ones.
Dairy Queen, a fast food place that specializes in ice cream, makes soft ice cream with chunks of the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies in it. So good!!
My favorite milk shake thin mints. 😋
They also go on very great trips like Yellowstone, cruises, trips to other National areas. Former Girl Scout that I was we went on wonderful trips, camping, amusement parks, we would learn how to do many things (I am old so it’s better now) but they teach coding, engineering, archaeology, sustainable energy, etc etc. it is a PHENOMENAL group! And again, the cookies are INSANE! So much so that most people buy enough to last the year. My niece buys hundreds of boxes each season. Lol
Thin mints are pretty divisive. You either don't like it or you love it. I'm very meh about them room temperature, but cold/frozen (which the real ones know is the correct way to eat these!!) they're a really nice treat and a great crunch!
As parents and grandparents we’re always supporting their endeavors and their always doing different fund raisers for baseball,soccer,school, and whatever else they need.
Girl Scout cookies are the bomb!!!! One year I bought 16 boxes ate them in a month I think, maybe less. They sell different kinds, mine is the mint and peanut butter sandwhich cookies are the best. I can eat a box at a time(probably more) with a cold glass of milk.
Samoa are my favorites. From January to April, the Girl Scouts set up their tables near Walmart (big shop/grocery chains) entrances and sell their cookies to you.
Thin Mints are amazing. They're best after having been in the freezer for a day or two though.
My daughter is a girl scout. Cookie season is a lot of fun and work! Her troop did great this year. She sold over 300 boxes. People love these cookies and they are only available a few months out of the year.
My mom was my girl scout leader and we had 32 girls and four moms in our troop we have African night which we all had to form groups and selected a country and Africa to research and make a poster for the country and present it to the troop then we had all the girls overnight on our farm for a sleepover and bonfire and to Learn more about Africa and the cultures. We also had a Mexican night when we all learned to make tortillas and learned about the culture and traditions of Mexico and we learned how to count to ten in Spanish. We also did food drives and collected toys for kids and when to the local
Somali community Area and brought games and fun outside activities for the kids and families. We also enjoyed everything we do and camping and sales cookies are ways to teach girls how to survive outdoors, and how to work as in the real world
I think you have Girl Guides. Imagine their troops selling cookies/biscuits to all of England (parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and those who wait all year long to get the cookies and freeze some to last the rest of the year). Now take those times 50 states.
GS Grasshopper Cookies. 😋 EVERYONE loves them!
Love your reactions to everything 😂
Back in the olde days when it was safe, Girl Scouts went door-to-door taking orders for and delivering cookies.
*safer
We look forward to these going on sale. They are amazing. Thin mints are my fav frozen are best. Peanut Butter Patties are my second
Yep, 49yrs old now, but was a girl scout when i was little.
If you come to America 🇺🇸 I live in Las Vegas Nevada you should visit here you would love it
I was a girl scout! I remember me and my sister posting up with outside selling boxes or going door to door. Our biggest trips were disney land (we had a bus from arizona to cali) and we went camping with some other troops, every troop had about 2 cabins.
I’m allergic to milk so I can’t eat them, but my sister says they are best eaten when she freezes them
These students act they already made their minds up before they started. They're British and don't have the same taste as us.
Girl Scout cookies are great!
As Americans we all look forward to Girl Scout cookie sale time! These kids don't have functioning taste buds to say those mint chocolate cookies are not good! They are amazing, especially frozen and dunked in milk! In fact, I know many friends who post on facebook and other social platforms during sale time asking if anyone knows of a Girl Scout locally who is selling cookies because they want to buy some! The packaging is just fine not being frilly....they don't need to compete with anyone else in the market! We buy them because they are good and the money is well deserved for the girls program.
They sell a crazy amount because of people like me. I stock up and freeze them so I can have cookies all year long.
I was a girl scout back in the 70s and I loved it. Going on camping trips, getting our survival badges, and sitting out in front of stores selling girl scout cookies. My favorite will always be the thin mints or the peanut butter patties.
I'm in my 60s.
When I was young, the cookies were very different.
Over the years, they changed recipes, added new items, and now I could not be convinced to buy any.
I used to love the peanut butter ones. I always kicked myself that I didn't have money set aside to get enough boxes to last the year.
I was a GS as a child, and my daughter was too when she was younger. GS cookies are delicious, but Thin Mints are best when they’re frozen. Also, cookie selling season is only about 6-8 weeks. My daughter would easily sell 300 boxes, just to friends & family, and neighbors. Only $0.75 per box goes to the troop. The rest goes to Girl Scouts of America. In our house, we always get Thin Mints, Caramel Delights, Peanut Butter Patties. We buy A LOT and freeze them so we have them all year long.
Someone else mentioned that some of the money goes to pay the bakers.
Yes, the 4 months thing is deceptive in the statistic. You have a sales sheet for just 6-8 weeks starting in January, cookies arrive in March, you can sell surplus cookies at stands until April.
I haven't bought girl scout cookies in years.
The cookie company gets payed a portion of that money. They only sell during the 4 months in a year. The Girl Scout are in every city and state in the USA. They have different age groups as well. So, that’s where the money goes.
They have a new flavor every year😋 most of the cookies🍪 are very good👍 my favorite are chocolate peanut butter flavor cookies 😂 Peace✌️ and Love❤️ Gary😊 I think the cookies are dryer to last longer, because people stock up for the year they have to last longer.
They only sell the cookies once during the sale season. The 4 months is spread over the whole US. The money is spread out over the manufacturer for the cookies, the girl scout council & a portion goes to the troops.
Thin mints are fantastic.
50 yo American here. I have never seen a girl scout except during cookie season. I always wondered what they did the other 8 months. Thanks to this video, I now know that they have a solar panel side hustle. Brilliant
boy scouts USED to teach community helping AND survival stuff. (they have since cut out the survival stuff) and girl scouts ONLY taught the community helping stuff... although some girl scout troops would take an annual camping trip....
Thin mints absolutely have to be eaten with milk. They dissolve on the inside with the chocolate coating remaining crunchy, and it’s amazing. They are pretty blah on their own.
"Girl scout cookies are the best" "Eat the box and burn the rest" LoL
The rhyme.
I was a girl scout leader, i had to unload an 18-wheeler truck of cookies for my district!!
Volunteer?
Yes, volunteer @@Justiceincorporated.
@@Justiceincorporated.Yes, volunteer
How are you people so polite... I put the whole cookie in my mouth. No crumbs dropped 😂😂
Thin mint girl scout cookies are awesome
You have to put thin mints in the freezer or fridge at least. Eating them ice cold is a world of difference.
I sold cookies as a Girl Scout 30+ years ago, my step daughter sold them 10ish years ago & I always plan on buying them to support the Girl Scouts. You learn a lot & make great friends. Something else that you can do when buying the cookies is to donate a box to the troops which I always do as well especially now that my step daughter is in the military.
ALL GS Cookies are GOOD!
12:27
most cultures around the world don't drink milk after being weened off breast milk... they don't have dairy cows in their country, so it's not a product that is widely consumed by the population... there are only several countries in the world that actually have dairy cows... those other countries MAY use other forms of milk (goat, camel, sheep, ect...) but it's not usually used for drinking...
Girl Scout cookies are incredibly desirable to Americans. I was born here in 1949 and I still think they’re crap.😂
😂😂😂🎉
Girl Scout for 8 years and a Boy Scout Troop Leader for 3. Girl Scouts learn lessons in their way but the Boy Scouts are getting young boys learn survival skills. Both sets of skills are absolutely useful in life. Loved every minute of it. The cookies are pretty good. My favorite is the Caramel Coconut also known as Samoas
If you dont like Girl Scout cookies...You're not human!
Maybe youre TOOTHPASTE is "too minty"!
They have gone downhill
I don't understand why they think so many things taste like medicine, tooth paste, etc. We don't seem to think that cherry candies, etc., taste like cherry medicine, just because they are both "cherry flavor".
The entire Girl Scout organization sells these from January through April and then that’s it until next year. The money goes to paying for the girls ti go on trips, pay for supplies, pay for the bakers to make the cookies. And the bakers get paid out of the profits.
Nah, they dissing the thin mints. I'm triggered- Y'all can't say it tastes like toothpaste when y'all the ones who need the dentists there in the U.K. 💀
Apparently their toothpaste is very different from ours. I have seen many British reaction videos where they say mint foods from the US taste like toothpaste. Very weird.
The caramel delites/Samoas are the best!! And you buy all the boxes that your daughter's and/or granddaughter's have! ALL!! Because, the top sellers get rewarded!! 😉😉😉
I was a GS back in the day. We spent the hard earned money from sales on trips or on experiences. There was one year we went and spent a week at a fellow GS grandparent's house near Washington DC and went into the city with the Metro to see the sights. This was during either a year in my late elementary school or early middle school years. It was such a good time.
Even with the different manufacturers, I still call the cookies by their old names from my childhood. What's now called "Peanut Butter Patties" I still call "Tagalongs" (which are my personal favorite).
As for the skills they learn, it's not so much survival as you see more readily with what was called the Boy Scouts, but we learn crafts, life skills, cooking skills, and participate in community service of varying types. I achieved my Girl Scout Gold Award (equivalent to the Boy Scout Eagle Award) while volunteering at a local animal shelter. It was a lot of work, but the contribution I provided and the fulfillment I felt accomplishing that project was so heartwarming.
(BTW, as someone mentioned, Boy Scouts sell popcorn, but they also sell mulch. Girl Scouts have cookies in the winter/spring and they sell various tins of nuts and snacks in the fall.)
Great video by the way! Keep it going! ❤
Girl Scout cookies is definitely an amazing American phenomena
Girl scout cookies are the best. I missed getting some this year and I was so upset when I figured out they were over for the year. All of them are good in their own way.
14:18 the lemonades are so good. If you like lemon flavored things, these are the best.
Cookies are life in America.
Little cookies, big cookies, soft cookies, hard cookies.... Even whole pie cookies. (That's right.. a pie, but it's a cookie.)
We love cookies so much we've even named our lady parts after them...❤😂😂😂
Edit: now that i think about it... I'm pretty sure we even have drugs that are referred to as, "cookies." 🤣
