"More time to be intimate with the Samoas." -Stephen Georgs, 2-11-23
no wonder Mal seemed hesitant about that idea
I was a Girl Scout for 10 years, going up through high school, so it's really fun to see you guys talk about things that I had to sell for so long. Stephen saying the Trefoils are boring is SO ACCURATE; those were very difficult to sell.
In addition, the weird plastic packaging for a couple of the varieties I agree is extremely frustrating. When putting them on a display they always looked bizarre, when you open them they are impossible to keep from getting stale, etc. I had a lot of good memories in GS but selling cookies was not for me. It feels so good to trash on specific varieties now that I am no longer bounded down by my overlords to push EVERY SINGLE COOKIE TO EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER. Anyway, uh, Thin Mints are boring as hell, and now that I've sufficiently set the world on fire by saying that, I take my leave.
Saying it’s Girl Scout season sounds like it’s time to start hunting Girl Scouts. For delicious cookies of course!!
my exact first thought.
wabbit season!
Man, it's been so long since I've had Girl Scout cookies. Tagalongs were always my favorite. They're basically Reese's cups with a cookie in the middle.
I’ll always miss Savannah Smiles - they were my cookies of choice when I worked at a Girl Scouts camp and we got to take leftover boxes at the end.
I was literally about to comment this. I feel like they were so underappreciated. They were my favorite!
having never had girl scout cookies, I'd love to see if I can make 'em at home. I probably can! I should look them up. Make a tier list that way.
Oh look, the adsventurefuls. My favorite.
Infinite disappointment.
I’ve only ever had thin mints, but would like to try some of the others in the future!
The editing of this vlog was on point
My favorite Girl Scout cookies were always the lemon ones with powdered sugar. I forget what they were called here in Georgia but I remember just loving them so much
Every year I buy literally a CASE of both thin mints and Samoa’s. Those are my top two
I’m team delites/samoas! I was also briefly in girl scouts, and I can vividly remember my first time selling cookies door to door because of this one guy. This old man who came to answer the door and in his most deadpan, grumpiest tone, said, “I don’t want any cookies.” My experience with old people up to that point, as a 7-year-old(I think?), had been overwhelmingly positive. Old people love to joke, I thought, so I immediately started laughing. The guy just kept glaring at me. I went cold with dread. Oh. He isn’t joking. I need to run away now.
17 years later and I currently work in customer service. Wild, huh? 7-year-old me would be shocked and terrified. I’m gonna choose to see that as character development.
I really enjoy the s'mores cookies and samoas.

(Long comment, I apologize in advance)
Girl Scout Cookies I Have Had/Have Heard Of:
1. Thin Mints - Great cookie, especially good cold
2. I’ve heard of Trefoils before but as far as I remember I have never tried them, I’m not the biggest fan of shortbread cookies but I’d be willing to try one to see if I’d like these particular versions or not.
3. Caramel Delights/Samoas - My Favorite Girl Scout Cookie, and this is coming from someone who does not usually like the texture of coconut, they’re just so good; I hardly even notice the coconut part. 🤤
4. The Peanut Butter Patties/ Tagalongs: I’ve definitely had these before but it’s been so I long that I can’t remember what they taste like exactly, I’m sure they’re good though; I tend to like peanut butter so I’m sure these are good.
I’ve never hear of Toast-Yay cookies before but you guys did say they were new so maybe that’s why, either way I’d being willing to try one; French inspired toast cookies sound interesting.
I’ve also never heard of Adventurefuls and after Mal described them I am sad that I haven’t, they do sound delicious; though you both seemed disappointed by them so I can’t help but wonder if I’d like them after all, especially if they’re not soft… soft cookies are great.
My favorite Girl Scout Cookie has to be the Peanut Butter Sandwiches, and probably Carmel DeLites second. Lemonades are good as well.
I love these videos. Keep em coming!
I'm here to judge your Adventurefuls opinions yes
OK, ok ok ok, your opinions are valid, tbh same feelings I had. I thought you hated them DX Sorry grandparents
I eat all cookies with milk like i'm training to be santa so
Oh neat, you guys are in an ABC Bakery region too :o
Yeah, people get weirdly angry about other people's Opinions on Girl Scout cookies, I remember a few years ago I tried to do a comprehensive Tumblr post on the difference between ABC and LBB and I was *very opinionated* on the thin mints and called them "hell discs" and said, and I quote, "Hey, you wanna eat chocolate-covered toothpaste?! Well HERE YOU GO" ... People did not take kindly to my dissing of thin mints XD
I love thin mints. There was a time a few years back where every weekend I'd get somewhere between 2 and 4 boxes whenever girl scouts showed up.
I'm basically the same as Stephen's list but I'd flip around Samoas and Tagalongs and then the Trefoils and Thin Mints.
I don't mind Thin Mints but I prefer the other cookies more.
Samoas have always been my favorite; even as a kid I liked coconut flavor stuff.
Tagalongs are a very close second as I love peanut butter cookies and Reese's type candies (as long as it's not the huge Reese's Easter Bunny thing; that's way too much for me). There's another peanut butter Girl Scout Cookie called Do-si-dos that I always liked too.
Never had Adventurefuls and Toast-Yays but I think I'd probably feel the same way Stephen would about them.
Of course Stephen enjoys the cookie called Toast-Yay!
I absolutely _love_ trefoils. I'm too much of a coward to try any of the others. Trefoils are nice and simple and good :)
I agree with Mal! The coconut ones are the best ones! :)
Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs are my favorite also, but I also love Do-Si-Dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies, as well as Little Brownie's version of S'mores cookies.
Where I live, it seems that Girl Scout Cookies _used_ to be made by ABC, but now they're made by Little Brownie instead (for instance, what we now call Tagalongs _used_ to be called Peanut Butter Patties when I was growing up, and I never knew why. Learn something new every day, I guess!)
Fun!
I loved Girl Scouts cookies as a kid!! I enjoyed Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Dulce de Leches (which are unfortunately discontinued because those were my favorite for a while 🙁), and lots of other ones I’ve forgotten. My favorites are Caramel deLites/Samoas and Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalogs. I really want to try the Toast-Yays and Adventurefuls.
My favorite cookie they don't even make anymore, it was called "friendship circles" and they were two crunchy vanilla cookies with chocolate in between kinda like an Oreo. It also had the word "friend" on it and the word was sometimes in different languages. But other than that I was obsessed with peanut butter patties as a kid but as an adult I like shortbread. My most despised is the caramel deLites on account of me as a kid mistaking one as the Keebler cookie: fudge stripes only to find that it was coconut.
There are so many moments I have to submit for this day. Also I'm with Mal. Caramel Delights Supremacy. 😆
My Ranking:
1. Thin Mints
2. Everything Else
A loooong time ago, there was a type of Girl Scout cookie called the Lemon Coolers, and they were my favorites. I believe they were shortbread cookies in the shape of lemon wedges, and covered in powered sugar. Like Thin Mints, you could let these cookies chill, and they were soooo much better than at room temp
I still kinda miss them, though I'd probably not be able to eat them anymore, anyway, after learning of my own food allergies to nuts. Gotta be careful about cross-contamination and all that
Where I am in Canada, we only ever get Thin Mints - and I'm allergic to mint. We'll veeeery rarely get vanilla or chocolate sandwich cookies, which at least I can consume. They're serviceable, but I am definitely jealous of all the fancy ones you have in the US.
I remember when I was in girl scouts, the area that I lived in switch bakers (I think we went from brownie bakers to ABC) and so many people were mad because of the change (even tho the cookies tasted the same in the end😂). Even now people still call the cookies by the old names instead of the new ones.
I was a girl scout for a few years. I enjoyed it and I love the cookies, but once you're a teen no one wants to buy from you 😅 it was fun while it lasted. As a girl scout my favorite was peanut butter patties. As an adult I think I love Samoas more
I completely 100% agree with Stephen's ranking, I would have ranked them the exact same way!
Frozen thin mints are where its AT!!!!! THIN MINT JUSTICE! I like the majority of my chocolate treats frozen... But wait a minute.. frozen poptarts?? what in tarnation
I've only eaten maybe 2 kinds of Girl Scout cookies because they were never in my area until high school, and even then it was never very often.
Ooh also Caramel Delites are a classic for my family. My sister is a girl scouts so we always have some in the pantry.
Vlog raid!
edit to answer the end card question: Oh boy, this is a hard question, so I'll limit it to just my top favorites. I think my favorite has to be Lemonades followed by Samoas and Thin Mints.
My favorite girl scout cookies are the s'mores and thin mints. I also liked the lemonade cookies too, but they weren't as good as the s'mores and thin mints.
Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs are the best Girl Scout Cookie
Trefoil Defense Squad
I, at 22, still don't like coconut. Not a texture thing, the taste I don't like. But I like to have one or two samoas whenever girl scout cookie season comes along. I've always been a thin mint person. My mom LOVES do-si-dos or however u spell em. The peanut butter sandwich cookies. God. We always buy here like 20 boxes and store em in the freezer so she can eat them over the year. And she had the audacity to ask me at the end of last year "Huh, I guess I really like peanut butter"
Hayley is absolutely right. Thin Mints taste the _best_ after they've been chilled and I can taste a bigger difference. That said, I also love the Tagalongs and Samoas. Trefoils I have to be in the right mood for because otherwise they're kinda blah even though I love shortbread. I haven't had any of the newer ones like the Toast-Yays or the Adventurefuls. admittedly.
Adventurefuls sound like you might want to dunk them in something to soften them
My favorite is the peanut butter patties/tagalongs then thin mints and the only other one I've had is the caramel delights/Samoas which I remember not liking as a kid but haven't had any to retry. Everything else I've never heard of or had.
I’ll sleepdome after this vlog…dome
I’ve always loved Somoas. There was another Girl Scout cookie they made when I was a kid that I loved. It was like the Toast-yay but it was a smaller oval with chocolate on the back instead of icing, I don’t remember what they were called. Otherwise I like the Trefoils and Tagalongs, but would prefer Somoas if given the option. I am not a mint guy so Thin Mints just aren’t for me. But those Toast-yays sound pretty good I would like to try them.
I decided to revisit this vlog because my family just got Girl Scout cookies and I didn’t remember commenting this lol. Anyway, I finally just tried the Toast-yay. It’s pretty good, not a favorite but I would choose it above other GS cookies for sure (glares at Thin Mints). Also, seeing this comment again made me look up the discontinued cookie that was a childhood favorite. They were called All Abouts. I hope they bring those back someday.
I like the trefoils for being not too sweet and I love shortbread. Also tried adventurefuls for the first time last year and they were great.
We call some of them like the trefoil shortbreads where I’m at
Try the trefoils shortbread ones frozen too! That’s how I love to eat them
I'm TOTALLY with ya Stephen.🤘The Peanut Butter ones are my favorite!🤘And I used to call them TreEfoils.😆Cause I thought there was another E in there. Since I realized there isn't, the names has still stuck.😆
Thin mint justice!! >:D
Someone brought in Thin Mints to share at work today, so that was a nice coincidence. I'm a huge fan of mint flavor, so that was much appreciated. I would say my top three, in no particular order, are Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs. Do-si-dos are also good, and Savannah Smiles are alright. I don't think I've actually tried the other three you taste-tested in this video before. Of those, I've only seen Trefoils, but never bought them because the others are so much more enticing to me.
(in a comedically deep voice)
THIN MINT JUSTICE! ✊
I personally like Trefoils best, followed up by tagalongs, thin mints, and the lemon wedge cookies they used to have that were powdered sugar covered ( i think they were called lemon coolers or something?). What gets me is the way you two pronounce trefoils with the soft tre like the word 3. My family and I, and most of the people I've been around here in the very northeastern part of the midwest pronounce it as tree-foils.
Thin Mints are easily my favorite, I love the chocolate/mint combo in any form and Thin Mints are honestly probably my favorite version of it, but I'm not upset at the rankings. Taste is all subjective, who cares.
Love the Tagalongs, those are my second favorite, and Trefoils are good but I'm not enough of a fan of shortbread cookies to get them over something like Lorna Doones or any other shortbread cookie. I really don't like coconut so Samoas just aren't for me, although I can appreciate their complexity.
I'm curious to try the Toast-Yay now, it sounds like something I would enjoy.
has mal gotten an update on her peanut allergy? i remember her mentioning her allergies might change due to the surgery
Some times I want hash browns for breakfast, some times I want pancakes. Do I hate pancakes? No. Do I hate has browns? God no. It just depends on the mood. Same with the cookies. My rankings are actually pretty similar to Stephen's.
It's weird seeing Girl Scout cookies and never actually trying any because in the UK, Girl Scout cookies aren't a thing. But if I had to pick, the Mint one I would try hand's down.
This is one of those very specifically US things that you almost never hear about outside the US despite the prevalence of US TV and films. I remember first seeing a reference to them in a Peanuts strip and having no idea what it was referring to.
Ah man, y'all don't have Lemon Ups? Those are my favorite. Nice crispy lemon cookie with a lemon icing. Not overly sweet, just the right amount of lemon. I like Thin Mints too but the ones we have here in west TN aren't any different from Grasshoppers you can get at the grocery store.
Hopping in from Breakfast Stream! Excited to see y'all's takes on these. I'm partial to Do-Si-Dos (the peanut butter sandwich ones) and Thin Mints. Toast-yays were pretty nice when I had them the one time.
We don't have Girl Scout Cookies in Norway, BUT out of all og them, I'm pretty sure my favourite would either the Samoas or the tagalongs.
I like Adventurefuls, Thin Mints, Lemonades and Peanut Butter Patties
I also didn’t like that the Adventurefuls were hard cookies, but I still liked them. Peanut Butter Patties are the best imo, then Lemonades, then Thin Mints, then Adventurefuls
Samoas is pretty much the only cookie I've ever really bought in the lineup and it's good.
Vlog raid! 🎉
Thin minths and adventurefuls are my favorites, only thing on your lists that bothered me was you putting adventurefuls at the bottom just because they aren't what you expected, they had to be better than the boring shortbread cookies
Funny, I'm 31 years old, I I had never heard of girl scout cookies until I was about 26-27. 1. I'm from Quebec, Canada, so that's not really a thing here + french but also 2. I come from the middle of fucking nowhere so we didnt even have scouts/girl scouts. Actually, I also thought that ice cream trucks didn't exist until I watched Josh Jepson, and the ice meme man meme started.
When I watched the Breakfast Stream VOD, I was like what the heck is a Toast-Yay. I would have never have guessed it was a new Girl Scouts cookie.
Also, love your strong opinions even when they're wrong (/j). Thin Mints definitely top tier.
I hate anything to do with coconut. Love the thin mints. The peanut butter ones are really good as well. I haven't had a girl scout cookie in a long time.
I’ve only ever had Samoas and Thin Mints but I’d love to try the other four!
Stephen, I still hate coconut even as old as I am now. But Samoas are sooooo good that I can excuse the coconut.
I had the same reaction to Adventuefuls as Stephen did
my favorite ones are the Lemonades and the Samoas.
Mal! Is there a Teal on your nails and a topper??
I make everyone angry by putting Thin Mints at the very bottom, because I can't stand mint. 🤣 Adventurefuls and Samoas are my absolute favorites! I enjoy Tagalongs but the peanut butter becomes overwhelming for me quickly, so they usually take me a long time to get through. I'm not a fan of shortbread so Trefoils would go just above Thin Mints. I haven't had the Toast-Yays yet!
I'm a Thin Mint guy. Haven't had much of the other ones. Don't really like peanut butter, so easy bottom tier on that
Like how im watching this vlog while eating some samoas. No i didnt start eating them until i started watching. I was already eating them. My fave is likely thin mint then samoa then whatever else as those are the only two we usually buy in my family
THIN MINT JUSTICE
I do really hope I can actually try Girl Scout cookies at some point in my life. I've always had a fascination for Thin Mints since I love mint stuff but yeah.. they don't exist here :( One day I'll get to try them I'm sure!
Peanut Butter Patties were number one on at least one list and that’s what’s most important.
Some of these I've never had before, so I can't give a full ranking, but my top 3 are probably Peanut Butter Patties, Lemonades, and Caramel Delites.
Lemonades or thin mints hands down!
"Anyway, these opinions don't matter"-StephenVlog subheading
I've always liked the tagalongs the most but you don't get that much bang for your buck since there are so few in each box. I whenever I get girl scout cookies I usually buy a box of either thin mints or samoas and then a box of tagalongs.
Mine is the same as Mal's, but I can eat Tagalongs and they are the best.
Peanut butter sandwich cookies are definitely my favorite. Followed by thin mints, and thanks a lots.
Do you guys not have the black and white cookies??
im not huge on mint sweets either, but mint in savoury foods can be top tier
also girl scouts arent quite as big a thing where im from so i never had any of the cookies besides thin mints at a friends house
Hard cookies are definitely a more "eat/dunk this in coffee" kind of thing. At least for me
Is this perhaps, potentially, one of the more controversial vlogs ever posted on StephenVlog? Even more so than the "We Support The Gays" vlog (because that shouldn't even be controversial but, you know, here we are)? 😂 As a Swede, I've never had girl scout cookies so I can't weigh in here. But uh, I like cookies.
I’ve never had Girl Scout cookies plus i had never even heard of Girl Scouts before at least not where I grew up
I honestly ate way too many peanut butter patties as a kid, because in my head they were just bigger reeses. So anytime we got Girl Scout cookies I always asked for like a box or two of them
coconut makes me sick if i eat too much. my stomach just turns lmao
so does white chocolate...more than a nibble..my stomach turns.
The coconut thing sucks because I do not like milk so when i was cereal i go for alternative milks. but turns out soy, oat and almond are all pretty bad for you and they recommend coconut milk...jokes on me I guess. 'cause I did try and it makes me sick after a standard bowl of cereal.
I'm Canadian and I'm sure we have some of these but it's called girl guides instead of girl scouts. i know we have thin mints and samoas. no idea what else they offer. never been one to partake in their yearly marketing campaigns. I'm such a witch when it comes to door to door people. This is why I live in a tower now and no one likes my stairs to get into my apartment so everyone leaves me alone haha
"Let us know what your favorite girl scout cookie is."
...as a non-american, scouts aren't a thing where I live 😛
someday i want to eat those famous cookies
Thin Mints above all.
Vlog raid!
Stephen really is a Southern Jerry Seinfeld. Cinnamon, cinnamon, cinnamon!
