21. Has my sister and cousins were girl scouts in the 90's. I was draged out of my bed to go down and help sell those cookies, My 2nd years selling they came out with one (something with pralines)cookie that Out sold the thin mints by about 12 cases down here in south carolina.. I got three cases my self that year at 2.00 a box.. now the thing I hated was that they didn't come back the following year and alot of people had got mad about it ( i know I was cause I'd saved from months to buy a few cases) because so how it was on our order sheet and we ended up haveing to get the girls more sheets there were so many orders, so when the cookies came in everybodys wanting their cookies and my mom ( the Asst. Troop leader) came in and was telling the girls that they had to tell the people that the cookie was nomore.. A bad year for the GS that year.. Sells droped bad.. we sold about 20 cases that year where the year before we were over 150-200.. 22. I loved the reduced-fat Chalet Cremes! FYI, for the calories, fat and carbs of each cookie available today, http://www.myspace.com/GirlScoutCookieSale is a good resource (the blog entry entitled "Straight from the Box"). And if you haven't purchased yours yet, I know http://girlscoutcookies.org/ will give you the contact info for the council selling cookies nearest you, just by entering your zip code - yum. 23. So does anyone else remember the Kookaburras? They were wafers and caramel? covered in chocolate ?? 24. What were the Strawberry ones called, I loved those?!?!? They were round with a hole in the middle filled w/ strawberry stuff!!! 25. I'm a leader in Louisiana, and I'm jealous of you who say you get .56 a box - we only get .35!!! I would love that extra .21 - it would go a long way! Anyway - we sell a lot of Tagalongs and Thin Mints. I hear Samoas are really big in some areas, and the Council still says they are our top seller, but our troop has never had that to be our experience. I loved the Lemon Coolers - those Cafe Cookies need to go - those are just horrible! 26. I can't believe the Iced Berry Pinada cookies really sold that badly. I loved them and when I would go to the cookie stands two years ago...they often were out of this particuar type of cookie. That tells me it sold well. I really wish they would bring this cookie back. I would certainly stock up. 27. I remember the Thin Mints in my area (late 60s/early 70s) were not a chocolate cookie base, they were a light color cookie dipped in the mint chocolate coating. I think that is a difference in regional bakeries before things became more standardized. 28. ps--forgot to add that I'm a Lemon Pastry Creme fiend also--found one last box in my freezer and enjoying it bit by bit..... 29. i miss the lemon pastry cremes! as a little girl, the were my very favorite. i also loved the iced berry pi?atas, and it's sad that they're not around anymore. and the ole oles were great, i can't believe they didn't sell well! 30. Juliettes were named after the founder of the Girl Scouts, Juliette Low: http://www.girlscouts.org/who_we_are/history/low_biography/ |
