Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I bought a couple boxes of Girl Scout cookies, thin mints. There’s 2 sleeves of 16 cookies so that’s 32 cookies in a box. I could swear there was more last time I bought them! Well I ate one whole sleeve already !! They still taste just as good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I haven't bought Girl Scout cookies since the organization went on their all out Second Amendment attacks awhile back. When they change their political attacks on the Second Amendment I will buy some again. I don't support organizations that attack what I support.

I agree with you and I’m usually like that but it’s not the little girls fault so I made an exception ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...they cost more, and the cookies are smaller. Each sleeve is also shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "half gallon"- looking container of ice cream is 1-1/2 qts now. A 2-liter-looking soft drink bottle is 1.6 L. The dispensing hole in a tooth paste tube is almost twice the size it used to be. Question why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Mosby Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 That's one of the main reasons we quit buying them a few years ago. The other was they either changed who they purchased theor cookies from or the recipes were changed because in addition to more cost, fewer cookies, they didn't taste near as good. Have been known to hand the girls some money but refuse the cookies. Confuses the heck out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Two different bakeries supply the cookies, could be the reason for a different taste but I’d expect quality control to catch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each bakery has their own recipe and names for each type of cookie. It is my understanding that troops get to determine which bakery they get their cookies from.

It's a health move. There are fewer cookies, so when you eat a whole sleeve, it is a lot healthier for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
