Girl Scout cookies ,we’re originally sold door by door. We go to peoples doors but due to safety concerns. We are now selling them only at public places that allow us to sell them. They also had them last time I saw online at the Girl Scout site During the pandemic. Girls scouts helps girls to learn to be strong and give them skills, such as cooking out on the fire to how to sell items, and to help the community out that you live in by helping collect food for the local food shelf etc. the money we collect from selling the cookies go to the scouts for the Girl Scouts camp and some other stuff. I loved being a Girl Scout and being able to get to learn about how to cook and make fires and how to sell things and make things,etc. it was fun
Former Girl Scout here- with the money, my troop would go on camping trips, we did horse back riding lessons, we learned to sew and so much more. And everyone got to do it, regardless of how much money their parents made. It was fantastic and all due to selling cookies.
Girl Scout cookies are definitely pricier than other cookies. But people pay for them because it supports quality programming in your local community, and it’s also very hard to say no to the adorable young girls who sell them.
I was a Girl Scout all through elementary school and my mom was one of the troop leaders..I had so much fun! We used to do something almost every weekend, whether it was going somewhere, doing community service to earn different badges, arts/crafts, doing stuff outdoors, etc. We used to do camping trips, mainly a yearly retreat where tons of troops would gather and we’d have our own cabins, other times tents (depending on where the retreat was). We sold cookies outside grocery stores or other stores that would allow us to set up for a few hours outside. It wasn’t just about making money, it was teaching us how to make transactions, talking to people, earning the money we made..unfortunately not all troops did as much as our troop did. It’s really up to the leaders unless that’s changed.. It’s also a way to make new friends or do stuff with friends you already have. It’s a good organization from what I remember and a really good learning experience for young girls. 😊
GSC are only available 4 months of the year. The Girl Scouts' mission statement is to "[build] girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place" through activities involving camping, community service, and practical skills such as first aid. Because they're a fundraiser and they are great cookies, people buy several boxes to freeze for later when they can't get them. They used to be only $3.50/box and they've gone up .50 every few years until it got to this $5 price that's been holding steady for the last few years. The Peanut Butter Patties are the best one. Change the packaging and people wouldn't know it's cookie season, lol.
"A bit bougie (adjective)" - Do you know what a bougie (noun) is? "a thin, flexible surgical instrument for exploring or dilating a passage of the body." Makes me laugh every time you say it.
And for anyone who didn't already know, the popular meaning of bougie comes from the centuries old French word "bourgeois." It was often used by the aristocracy as an insult towards the middle-class, by the poor as an insult towards the middle-class, and by socialists as an insult to anyone tending towards the capitalist accumulation of wealth (like the middle-class.)
Bougie has become a very common adjective to mean "fancy", at least colloquially. I wouldn't doubt if it hadn't been updated in most dictionaries as well.
Somoas were my favorite back when I saw girl scouts selling cookies in front of grocery stores and other high traffic parking lots where they got permission to set up tables in pre-pandemic times. Haven't seen any for a few years. I remember way back when it was a door-to-door activity with girl scouts pulling red wagons full of cookies around neighbors to sell them.
Those “Do-so-does” (peanut butter cookies as they are calling them by the wrong name!) are my favorite! I also like the Tagalongs (chocolate covered cookie with pb in there too).. 13:14 sea salt elevates the sweet and bitter of chocolate and the sweet of caramel..
The main 5 are consistent every year. They are Thin mints, Samoas(Caramel delites), trefoils, do-si-dos(peanut butter sandwiches), tagalongs(peanut butter patties), other ones like the toast yay's, lemonades, and adventurefuls are only around for a while then replaced by something else. Ive been a Girl Scout my whole life, I have a life time membership but when I was in high school I was able to go on 2 different European trips by selling cookies. My sister went rot Australia for her trip. I enjoyed growing up in scouts, I learned a lot.
I think the thing about the Girl Scout cookies is that they have a flavor for everyone. Even if there's only one you like, and the rest are garbage to you, that one is really good. Everyone has at least one that they really like. Unfortunately, they got rid of my favorite... Lemon Coolers. None of them come close to those, but I do still like the peanut butter and chocolate ones, and the caramel delights. I didn't know they had a french toast cookie; they must be rather new, so I'll have to try them.
We every year get notice that my son-in-laws niece is selling her Girl Scout cookies to where I proceed to buy the obligatory 8 boxes I usually get to support her girl scout troop. She’s too adorable to say no to! I then proceed to eat cookies non-stop until they disappear and I don’t look at another cookie again until the next year.
"Not much flavor.." (regarding the thin Mints). It's literally just chocolate and mint. What does he expect? I love these episodes with the kids, but sometimes I can't fathom their criticisms.
there's versions of girl scout cookies you can buy in stores that are really good. I've only had girl scout cookies once so idk the comparison but I'm assuming they're all made in the same factory but some are given to the girl scouts and the others are given to stores
Girl Scout Cookies are sold entirely by local Girl Scout Cookies and during a certain time of the year. They are not foud in stores and are not all year round. Only seasonal.
Idk about in general but Girl Scout cookies are not available in a lot of areas due to there just not being large groups of girls scouts anymore. I’ve only seen them being sold by actual Girl Scouts outside the supermarket once, but otherwise you might find branded copies of them though I haven’t looked.
I don't know if they are still popular . . . ." - During the season Jan - April, cute little girls set up tables in front of almost every supermarket and other popular places (the idea of setting up in front of a cannabis dispensary was genius) and it's almost impossible to avoid them (or say "no" to them). But I actually love the thin mint ones.
Trefoils, tagalongs, toffee, patties, peanut butter sandwich, adventurefuls.... they got good cookies that last. I've spent a lot of money, and many spend way way more than I do
I buy the cookies to help out the girlscouts every year. There like 5,00 a boz. There usually set up shop (a tabe) in front of my neighborhood Wal-mart. I still got some ar home.
Not year round. Only for a few weeks each year and they are sold by girl scouts. They set up stands in stores or shops as you call them. They sometimes go door to door, and many are sold by those girs to friends and family members. They are a fundraiser nothing more.
People who buy these things will tell everyone they know about how many they bought and neighbors will try to out buy each other lol 😂 I like thin mints the girls get to do field trips with the money they make and it literally funds them outside of donations .
The profits benefit the Girl Scouts of America, and they're the only organization that sells them. I can't eat them because...gluten and dairy...but the thin mints STILL stick in my mind, decades since I had them.
The peanut butter sandwich cookies are definitely not the best. They're rather dry, and while they may be improved by dipping them in milk, the peanut butter flavor isn't even strong enough, in my opinion.
The new lemon cookies are bland and boring, not worth getting. They used to have a lemon cookie called Lemon Coolers...small shortbread cookies, shaped kind of like mini lemon wedges, with candied lemon zest in them and covered with powdered sugar. They were the best cookies Girl Scouts has ever offered, and they stopped making them. Make that make sense...
Do you live in a cave in the wilderness? Do you never go to the grocery store? Do you interact with other people? Saying you’ve never heard of this in 45 years is like saying you’ve never heard the national anthem or seen a baseball game.
In the USA we have a holiday called “Memorial Day”. THE largest Spectator Sporting Event in the Entire World Occurs each year. You are Oblivious to the Sporting Event that attracts 1,000,000 people and sells 350,000 Tickets. Maybe You’ll figure it out next Memorial Day Weekend for the Greatest Spectator Sport in the World Next time
Normally love watching Jolly but this one reminded me of why I normally dislike EU kids. Talk that badly about thin mints and love beans on toast? Yeah their opinions are 💩
Do yourself a favor and order some Tate's. Those are expensive but really amazing. GS cookies are just .... ok. Even when I was younger I didn't go for them. They taste very very processed to me and I certainly never crave them. Extremely sweet.
It's kinda scammy. We tried to sign our daughter up when she was about 7yrs old. They wanted hundreds of dollars for the uniform, patches, dues, etc. I was like, where is that billion dollars going if it's not for this stuff? They say the money made by the local troop off cookie sales stays with the local troop. If that's true, seems crazy that a used brownie outfit is $300. They were very aggressive too. It felt like they were taking it way too serious. It should be something fun for the girls, not run like a pyramid scheme. To each their own but we opted out and put her in swimming lessons instead. By the way, the cookies are really good.

Thin Mints and Samoas/caramel deLites are best after being in the freezer overnight. Bestest thing ever.
Came to say this! These are my favs and the only ones I ever buy. They go straight in the freezer!

Even harder when you are the one nagging your mom to get it. That was me and my younger sister when we were kids.
You’re forgetting the 3rd reason- That they taste good, haha
The "not there everydayness" is the genius of the Girl Scout Cookies. I have seen people buy 20 boxes at a time just to have some off season.
5:27 These are, and forever will be, called Samoas.

I think he's referring to bourgeoisie. Middle or merchant class. Or capitalist in communist terms.
@@briankirchhoefer He is of course but there's the other meaning he doesn't know about.
@@emobx02 Both meanings co-exist but the one, lesser known outside medical professionals, makes the clueless use by the general public humorous.

I used to be the advertising exec at our little local paper and every year I gave the girl scouts full page ads in exchange for cookies 🤣
♥️♥️♥️ Thin Mints!!!
Put them in the freezer! So much better ice cold!

It's inflation... the used to be 2 or 3 dollars a box.
$1.75 when I sold them
People aren’t looking for a bargain, as everyone understands it’s for fundraising. It’s better than just asking for money.
I have loved Girl Scout Cookies my entire life.🍪

Not sold in stores. They used to knock door to door selling but not so much anymore. Now a lot get sold to their parents friends and coworkers.
The exception to this is Ice Cream. They've done some collabs with ice cream companies. They sell this in stores. Thin mint ice cream yum.
Freeze thin mints. Refrigerate the peanut butter. Slightly chill the coconut.

The selling season starts in January and it ends in April.
The Citrus council in Florida had my daughter and her troop end in March.

It's not all year, just once a year... so you've got to be 100 boxes of Thin Mints when you get the chance!!

I hoard Thin Mints.I'll buy many boxes and throw them in the freezer so i can eat them all year round. Thin Mints are the cheez neez.🧟🍪❤
I just buy them to help out the Girl Scouts. I don’t eat cookies, or sweets at all, except for a couple boxes every year of Girl Scout cookies.

I am confused. These are hard biscuits. So what do they call cookies in the US?🤔
You have ME confused! They are all cookies - hard, soft, chewy, sandwich, and probably more types that I'm not recalling.
@@CherylVogler In the UK, hard ones are all biscuits. All soft and chewy ones are cookies.
I love American buttery biscuits with jam.🤤

Girl scouts of America... we're not the boy scouts
They suck. We eat them because we feel bad seeing little kids selling them outside of stores.
I don't..I ignore them or tell them to kick rocks you little brats!!!
I've lived in the US for 45 years, and this is the first time I heard of these cookies.
Huh? They are being sold at entrances to every grocery store in the country!😂
They used to knock on your door.
You must have set some kind of record for avoiding them which isn't an easy thing to do.
@@BTinSF I'm on the South Bronx.
I don't think this type of stuff happens around here.
