    Yes, I did happen to know that... the same is true of Tag-alongs (or peanut butter patties)...

    I totally understand how that can happen. And, seriously, no one should ever buy as many boxes of those little "demons" as you do if you are purchasing them from granddaughters. LOL!!!

    Really like the idea of using the hanging toiletry caddy for holding supplies.

    Oh, yes...and one can also eat a whole box of GS Thin Mints in one sitting by herself, too. (And I'm sure you don't NEED to ask how I know that!)

    Did you know the same thing is true for Peanut Butter Patties?

    you can do it with Thin Mints too, but it you freeze them first it takes a little longer and you burn more calories as more chewing and your body has to warm them up.

    No more for me since gastric by pass

    Yes! Those sneaky Girl Scout cookies just disappear! i think they are putting fewer in the packages. That's my story.

  34. JanetMarch 10, 2011 at 7:31 PM

    I think the manufacturers need to dispense with the plastic tray so it isn't apparent how many cookies have been eaten so quickly. I feel so guilty when I happen to notice the empty spaces in the cookie tray and I had only opened the box within the hour. I also feel that more cookies could fit into the box if there wasn't a tray. So what if the cookies should stick together, I would still eat them.

    I don't have to ask. :D Those are my favorite and I completely understand how it can happen, especially if I've got my nose in a good book.

    I do that with Tim Tams....that's why I do my very best to avoid them....there is no recommended dose on the side of the package....I O'D everytime.

    It'll be ok soon.

    Hmm, we've experienced that in the past in our house. No GSC for us this year, though.

    True story: Caramel Delights are my fave, and hubby knows not to touch them. A few years ago I had bought a box from a friend at work, and left the box on the dining chair. The next morning I found the box opened and the cookies gone. Guess who did it?! The dog, of course. And would you know, that little stinker never got sick. Amazing for a pomeranian. I guess that just proves that he was my dog after all.

    I saw a post somewhere online this week that says "Unless your selling THIN MINTS, no soliciting." on their fron door in vinyl. It made me want to make that sign and run out and eat about 3 boxes... :)

    I used to be able to purchase enough cookes to freeze until I could buy them again the following year...I prefer the Do di dos,and Thin Mints...and with so few in the boxes now it is real easy to finish the box...But if you do run out and can not get any if you have a Family Dollar stoe near you they have copy cat cookies at half the price...and just as good...
