Those Evil Girl Scouts Are At It Again

I love them. I hate them. I love them. I hate them. No, I really do LOVE them!!

Not only do the Girl Scouts prey on us with their super yummy delicious cookies each year, but they have infiltrated the ice cream industry as well. Yes, they have found a new way to get into our homes after we have devoured all the boxes we bought. We can now find them in the ice-cream department at our local grocery store. They sit in the ice cream freezer just waiting for us to walk by. Then it happens. We see that Tagalongs, Thin-Mints, and Samoas are added to Edie's ice cream. We stop our cart and we stare at the ice cream cartons lined up in a row. And then it happens....we drool. We just have to have that ice-cream with Girl Scout Cookies! We stand there and decide which cartoon of yummy goodness to take home with us. Eenie, meanie, miney, mo...No, let me do that over...Eenie, meanie, miney, mo...catch a Girl Scout by the toe....if she hollars make her pay....Hmmmm...which one do I want?

Sometimes it's an easy decision and sometimes not so much. My last grocery trip, the Tagalongs made it into my cart. Oh my heavenly goodness in a frozen vat of yummy goo!! I digress....the carton is now gone. Yep, I ate it all. I couldn't get enough and by the time I got towards the bottom, I just took my spoon and ate it from the carton, just like a caveman, except I didn't let anyone see my moment of weakness.

Girl Scout Cookies are my Kryptonite.

Girl Scout Cookies

You all know them. They are our family members, our friend's kids, our co-worker's kids, and our neighbor's kids. Girl Scouts. Those adorable smiling faces that ask you to buy cookies from them. Behind the smiling face is evilness!! Selling boxes upon boxes of heaven in a box. Oh those yummy, super delicious morsels of pure sweet goodness. Loaded with calories, fat, and sugar. Oh sweet heavenly cookies!!

Today for lunch I ate a whole box of Tag-a-longs. The chocolate covered peanut butter cookies. There are about 15 bite sized cookies in a box. Yep, I devoured the whole box. All to myself. Extreme mouthful bliss. Taste bud tantalizing goodness. Oh yeah.

Three hours later, I had a head ache, a gut ache, and the nods. Sugar crash time. I'm guessing it didn't help my case that, that was my only meal for the day at that point. Not such a great idea hind site. Was it worth it? Oh hell, yeah....

This is my niece. I believe she is a future Girl Scout Cookie High Seller. I'm sure of it.
