Tis the problem. Its paraded as fun but it is poison. Im glad you caught that And kryssy, I am sure that girl scouts would get much more out of selling cookies, as far as growing mentally and emotionally, that they made themselves instead of "peddling" these chemical cakes. I enjoy the idea of having these young ladies getting experience with selling, putting themselves out there just as much as the next person. They can do that without plastic(fake) products and its much more rewarding.
Oh gosh.... It's been quite a while since I was a girl scout, but let me tell you.... The work you have to put into selling those cookies is HARD. (Especially for those of us that don't like talking) Thin mints were my favorite for a very long time. After that it was Samoas, but I don't recommend eating an entire pack of those in a day-- it has poor results that don't taste good ... As of right now, I cannot say that I truly have a favorite girl scout cookie!
I l o v e the thin mints and Samoas. Got four cases last year. Here, they also sometimes give out Macarons (not macaroons!!)
There's no answer but Thin Mints. Granted, I haven't tried the other ones, really, but I don't need to.
Where do people sell these? I'm interested by people actually paying money for them. Do they do a lot of advertising, or is it mostly word-of-mouth?
They park themselves in front of stores and restaurants. In addition, parents get their coworkers hooked by bringing some to the office as a tantalizing sampler =P
Probably not. The Girl Scouts is an American organisation. (also still quoting Marijn) I wonder how they would do in the Netherlands. If things are offered for free, usually people decline (I caught myself doing it yesterday, out of reflex), but it costing something might actually make people more likely to accept.
Hmm, I think people will take a sample when their offerd by sweet little girls. But most of the time the free things we get offerd are just a waste.
Did you see that new ice tea brand? I saw a huge ad at Hoog Catharijne in Utrecht (perhaps the biggest ad I've ever seen in real life), and got offered a free sample at station Amersfoort.
