They haven't tasted good to me for many years. I liked them as a kid. But
perhaps the reason I liked them is they were only available once a year and
my mom generally only bought one box of each kind. They were rationed out
so it seemed like they were something special. These days they seem to be
everywhere. People freeze them so they have them year round.

Did you ever consider that maybe your taste buds aren't as acute as
they used to be and the flavor of GS cookies isn't what has changed?

Actually, my taste buds are still rather acute. My mom used to try to
fool me by buying cheap ketchup. I can taste the difference with my
eyes closed. Come to think of it, Miracle Whip doesn't have that same
great tangy flavor that it used to either.

One Scout leader we recently talked to said that "each" Girl Scout has
to sell 150 boxes of cookies or they don't get as much money as they
could receive. Then, the Girl Scouts become the victims if they don't
sell enough cookies.

They have changed over the years. The ingredients are not the same as they
were when I was a kid and the mint ones are not the same. They used to be a
sandwich cookie. Now they are thin and nasty.

I decided to try the *lemonades* this year. They are delicious. Too bad I
only ordered two boxes.

The thin mints have never been different in all my years back to girl
scouting myself, although they have had different cookies at times and
in various places.

It is a catch 22. How else do they get funded if not fund raising?
Dues certainly doesn't provide all that the program needs.

I have never known thin mints to be any different than they
are now, certainly never a sandwich cookie. I bought a box
a few weeks ago, it's sitting right here. Can't believe I haven't
demolished it yet.

I don't recall them ever being a sandwich cookie either. I was a GS in the
1960's and early 70's; thin mints were thin cookies covered in chocolate.
Can't comment on the taste change since I haven't had a GS cookie in about
30 years.

The way it is described in the training the girls get, if they all
sell over 150 boxes each, they get an extra premium for each box,
which IIRC (it's been a few years) goes to the troop and is used for
trips, supplies, and troop camping expenses.

Also, at least in my council, if the the girls were trying to raise
money for a special project, they had to participate in the cookie
sale and one other council-wide fund raiser before they could hold any
fund raisers on their own.

The cookie sale is the biggest fundraiser that GSA does, and supports
the troop, the council, and national. As with any non-profit
organization, they can't run without funds, and having the girls help
support their activity gives them a sense of ownership in the group,
and a sense of self-worth.

(laugh) Guess what I'm having right now with my coffee since this
thread reminded me I have them. Anyway, with the name Thin Mints,
I don't know how they could have been much different than they are
now.

I was lucky to find a GS troup selling cookies at a cat show or I
wouldn't have any.

I go back even farther. I was a scout in the late 1940's and the thin
mints looked exactly the same as they do now. My taste buds are
probably shot now, but I still enjoy the cookies. Now where did DH
put the ones he bought.

That's odd because that is all I remember them being in the 50's and 60's. They
sold the chocolate or vanilla sandwich cookies. I don't remember them selling
mint cookies until about 20 years ago.

We didn't have Thin Mints when I was a kid. They were more like an Oreo
with a mint filling. There seemed to be extra chocolate on the top and if
you scraped it off with your teeth, the Trefoil design was on there.

I'm 48 and on the West Coast. I realize that there are different bakers for
different parts of the country. Perhaps that's all you ever had there. I

I didn't understand that they were selling a commercial product! Don't ask

I can remember Thin Mints as far back as the early 50's but
you may be right
about your area. You're in Canada, aren't you? Different
GS Councils use
different cookie bakers and probably offer different
varieties.

I know that in the past 10 years or so a few varieties have
come and gone
from the list.

I thought you lived at Fort Wadsworth as a kid, as did I. I guess
I'm totally confused because then I see you said they didn't have
thin mints when you were a kid. I think we're just talking about
apples and oranges.

Well, it has to start with a good foundation of cookie. Perhaps Dr.
Pepper would "fill in" the rest of the flavor. You might be on to
something. After all, there is a recipe for Dr. Pepper cake!

Troll?
1.(in Scandinavian folklore) any of a race of supernatural beings,
sometimes conceived as giants and sometimes as dwarfs, inhabiting
caves or subterranean dwellings.
2.Slang. a person who lives or sleeps in a park or under a viaduct or
bridge, as a bag lady or derelict.
Source: Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary

Mind you, I'm neither one.

I don't think mixing GS cookies with fettucini alfredo would be a good
idea. Don't be silly!

I ate some of my favorites but they're bland tasting. The peanut
butter was bland and the Samoas didn't have much flavor either. In
fact, they don't even call them Samoas anymore.

Or maybe it could be that everything is now trans fat free which is
suppose to affect the flavor. Did ya think of that? Huh? Did ya?

I can't believe the resident unemployed drunk is trolling the resident
idiot.

Add Shelly to this mix and we have a fruitcake!
