Eat a box then workout ALL DAY Why would you need to work out all day after eating one box? That's only 4 cookies. Maybe you run a little farther because your wallet is so much lighter. Once I found out the cookies aren't even made from real Girl Scouts, I quit ordering. |

| Lafayette, CO | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green Yeah, a co-worker got me because he had his daughter hand write a note about what they were doing with the money. I cannot resist a child's plea. Actually, I did resist one of the ski racers I've coached in the past since I'd already bought but when you're around hundreds of racers every Saturday you cannot give in to one as then they'll all ask. |

Extreme Veteran 385 shenandoah valley | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green I've ordered a total of 7 boxes of cookies from two friends' daughters. Training/racing fuel. Seriously. I'll use them at my enduro mtn bike races. If I don't eat them all before my first race in March... |

Champion 14571 the alamo city, Texas | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green I ordered 2 boxes from a girl scout at church. I refuse to buy them from girl scout's parents, though, so I've avoided buying from about 6 other people. When I was a girl scout my mom made me do my own work. Part of the point is to teach the girls to go out and sell and manage this, not have mom and dad put a sign up sheet in the break room and do it for them!! |

Elite 3490 Toledo, Ohio | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green I don't think I've ever bought a box. I eaten ones that other people have offered me, but I don't remember ever buying them. I don't buy them at the office (from the parents), especially since it is usually a boss selling them and I think that is a huge conflict of interest. But I also don't think I've ever had a Girl Scout come to my door. I would probably have a hard time saying no if they did. |

Champion 5522 Frisco, TX | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green I'll be buying three boxes from three different people. Two at work and a family member. Before I buy, I ask if the cookies can be sent to the troops overseas... I don't need them personally, but I bet some service men and women will enjoy them. I have learned to do this with just about any of the fundraiser food offerings.... |

Master 2621 Almaden Valley, San Jose, California | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green I'll buy zillions from the 3 scouts we've know since they were babies. We'll freeze them to eat all year, and then, come March, we'll be looking for replacements. Maybe I just need a lock for the freezer. WE LOVE THIN MINTS!!! |

Champion 4835 Eat Cheese or Die | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green We are up to about 8 boxes. My wife bought two from a coworker's daughter (the daughter actually came in to do the leg work) and we had two neighbor girls selling them so we got 3 boxes from each of them. Girl Scouts do not have a single cookie without soy and wheat. I think they should at least make one crappy tasting cookie that my daughter can have. |

Extreme Veteran 462 Auckland, NZ | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green Well, here in NZ it's the Girl Guides who do the cookie trade. (I guess it's the same as Girl Scouts, just a terribly English tradition that we Kiwis valiantly continue.......) We only get one flavour of cookie though; it's a generic plain shortbread-ish biscuit with their shamrock-y looking logo on it. And, the girls still knock on doors and we all support them. You are right, Girl Guide biscuits aren't in any nutrition programme I know of...... But they are ooooooh soooooooo yummy! |

That's where they ambush you That's the worst.....Get me everytime. I once told a GS that if she could sell me on it, then I would buy. The mom started talking about where the proceeds go.....I cut her off (nicely) and let the daughter go for it. I gave her a few sales tips. She revamped her pitch and I bought 2 boxes. A day later, she was in the same store and remembered me.....both her and the mom thanked me because she had sold more boxes after that. I ended up buying another. |

Master 2429 Falls Church, Virginia | Subject: RE: Forget Prada, the devil wears green mrbbrad - 2010-01-27 8:54 PM How's a triathlete supposed to maintain good nutrition? Pure evil I tell you!!!  Two things come to mind: 1. Frozen thin mints are worth it every time. 2. That girl is a crappy scout, she barely has any badges! |
