First of all, I think the Girl Scouts found some highly addictive ingredient or substance that is still untraceable. They have been feeding the habits of the American people for decades. And then to make sure no one gets their fix for long, they take the cookies off the market for most of the year. Brilliant and devious all at the same time. But I truly believe that Girl Scout cookies are 100 percent addictive. I don't care what Lays say about "you can't eat just one." Lays got nothing on the Girl Scouts.
Now,having said that, it seems that not even America's favorite cookies are recession proof. Rising costs bite into Girl Scout Cookie portions News for Dallas, Texas Dallas Morning News Cooking tips Food Dall... There will be fewer cookies in the boxes of several varieties this year, including my Thin Mints. As if they didn't go fast enough before, now there will be less of them! I am gonna have to rob somebody like the rest of the drug addicts, to make sure I can afford my fix of cookies! It's almost enough to make a fat girl cry. At least the Caramel delights are safe... for now!
"Help us Obi wan Kenobe, you're our only hope!" Aside from downsizing portions, they are also just downsizing. The lemon cookies are going to be smaller. I guess the smaller cookies will match up with the smaller packaging they are putting the cookies into. Less packaging means less cost. I get that, but the cookies are already four dollars a box. Divide that into the fewer cookies and we'll be paying a dollar a piece soon.
At least I can say the info wasn't leaked, and there were no secret labs. No one had to hold on to boxes from last year to compare to this years to prove the truth ( Thank you Cadbury Eggs) The Girl Scouts told us themselves it was coming. But why should they worry? They have a country full of addicts who need their cookie fix.

I read about that. They were saying in the article somewhere that those cookies are $2.50 a box. I was like "WHERE?"
I don't buy any for me. I figure I'm fat enough already. Plus for some reason, I'm immune from the addictive Thin Mints. Amazing, I know. I did send some to the troops in Iraq last year though. I thought that was a neat program they set up.
Okay, what did I miss about the Cadburry Eggs? For God sakes, don't mess with my eggs!!
