    I’m not affiliated with the Girl Scouts. They are only available for a short time every year. Everyone has their favorites and is a highly argued subject. I sent the entire line that was available this year. The cherry mash is a local company. They are not my thing, too sweet but many people love them. My dog absolutely loves the duck treats. Wish I could get you some Kansas City Barbecue. If you ever make it be sure to have the burnt ends! I would recommend from Arthur Bryant’s but that also is a highly contested subject. Joes would come second for me. Glad you enjoyed the box.

      That was such a wonderful idea to send them girl scout cookies! We got 2 people at work every year from Europe or one from France and 1 from Latin America. I always make an effort to order some for them so that they can experience it as well. Particularly in the last year when they can't go out and do a lot of things because of the pandemic I try to make their stay here as interesting as possible

    Hello from a former girl scout. The scouts sold these cookies to raise money for our troop projects and trips. I was the only girl in my county who completed every level of scouts starting at daisy's all the way through seniors in high school. I learned so much from being a girl scout from lessons in teamwork to survival skills. FYI thin mints best served after freezing and peanut butter sandwiches are delicious dipped in a glass of cold milk.

    • @ChanelStuff
      @ChanelStuff ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm not a fan of dipping them (peanut butter patties) in milk. Mainly because the milk just rolls off of the chocolate. You need a dry cookie to soak up the milk. Just don't get the same result with the patties. But I agree 100% with the Thinmints in the freezer

    Girl Scout Cookies are an American institution. It's only sold for a few months each year. When I was in Iraq girl scout groups donated cookies and sent them to the soldiers. It was such a wonderful feeling of home except the desert heat melted the cookies in transit so the Thin Mints for example melted into Log Mints. They were still tasty!

      Thin mints on s'mores instead of chocolate is the BEST THING EVER! That idea came from girl scout camp. Also... Does anyone else remember when each cookie had one name and not multiple depending on bakery, shortbread was called Trefoils, caramel delights were called Samoas, peanut butter patties were called Do-si-Dos, peanut butter sandwiches were called tagalongs and they looked different, the amount of lemon cookie types and names we've gone through. I was a girl scout, I've been in 2 states and they always had ONE name, now I keep getting different troops with different cookie names depending on which bakery supplies them and it's just so confusing. Like they're all girl scout cookies, why does each bakery have different names for the cookies?🤔🤨

    For years now the Girl Scouts have been selling outside of grocery stores, and other businesses. When I was a Girl Scout, we still went door to door. Also, our parents would take an order sheet to work for their co-workers to order some too. The varieties are actually very regional. Not all flavors are available in all locations across the states. I like Lemonades and Peanut Butter Patties, but my all-time fav is Samoas. Hands down. SO good. And as others have said, Thin Mints in the freezer. You won't regret it!

      There are 2 bakers in the US for Girl Scout cookies. The Thin Mints at each are the same recipe, the main cookies (Samoas/Caramel Delights, Trefoils/Shortbreads, Do-Si-Dos/Peanut butter sandwiches, Tagalongs/Peanut butter patties) are always there. The lemon and others change but each baker has 1 lemon flavored cookie each year and 1 gluten free each year. In the last several years they added the S'Mores cookies. The types you get depend on which of the 2 bakers your council chooses to partner with. Ours uses Little Brownie which is actually the original bakery.

    Peanut Butter Patties are my favorite! Except where I live, they're called Tagalongs. Interesting fact about Girl Scout cookie names: The Girl Scouts contract with two different cookie manufacturers who make the same cookies, but use different names. So while your box said Peanut Butter Patties, if I ordered them where I live, they'd be called Tagalongs. The Caramel Delights are called Samoas. Shortbread cookies are also known as Trefoils, and Peanut Butter Sandwiches are also called Do-Si-Dos.

Caramel delites ( I say caramel like you guys do ) are called Samoas, the shortbread ones are called Trefoils, The peanut butter patties are called Tag-a-longs, the lemonades are designed differently and called Lemon-ups, the peanut butter sandwiches are called Do-si-dos and I personally haven't heard or tried the other ones. Samoas, Trefoils, Tag-a-longs and Do-si-dos, if I remember correctly, have been that name since as long as I remember and I'm in my 50's. Must be a marketing thing.

      It depends on which baker the local Girl Scout council has the contract with. Girl Scouts of Maine where I live has the contract with ABC cookies, so in Maine I'd find the line of cookies featured in this video. However, if I jumped the border to New Hampshire, the council there is contracted with Little Brownie Bakers, and they have the trademark for the cookie names you mentioned. In addition to differences in names, the cookies themselves are slightly different. For example, thin mints from ABC are solid chocolate in color, and the last time I got a batch from LBB, the cookie inside was beige. Additionally, each baker is required to have the standard 5 flavors of thin mint, caramel coconut, shortbread, and the two peanut butter varieties, beyond that they can put out 3 unique flavors that season.

    Who would have thought that watching a video of people tasting food would be SOOOOOOO entertaining?
    I'm not sure how I stumbled on your channel, but I'm glad I did. I am really enjoying watching you all experience some of the different flavors of our country. I was stationed in Europe when I was in the Air Force and I had the opportunity to visit many countries. I always enjoyed trying the different foods. My favorite food to try were the different breads. But here in the United States, every state that you go to is like visiting a different country because every state has their unique tradition. And with tradition, comes EXCELLENT food. I'm from New Mexico, and we have a completely different type of food, some of which is not recognized in any other states (& New Mexican food is different than Mexican food, although we do share a lot flavors)
    It is very touching to see all the generosity some folks here in the U.S. have. There are a lot of great people here in the U.S. who are kind, caring and generous. But we do have more than our fair share of the opposite kind as well.
    Enjoy and keep having fun & making videos. They are great. If ever you are in New Mexico, send me a message

    My favorites are Peanut Butter Patties and Thin Mints. Girl Scout Cookies are only sold for a few weeks in February each year and a good amount of the profits are given to each troop.
    My mom, may she RIP, was a troop leader for me and my sisters decades ago and each winter our family room would be chalk full of Girl Scout cookies and tons of cardboard boxes that we would fill with orders from church friends, family, my parent co-workers, neighbors, and teachers.

      They were a treasure but as the years have gone by it has become a scandal. The local troops do not get as much financial support from the sales and they have lowered the cookie count to around 25 for $5.00. It was meant to teach kids to organize, accounting, sales and responsibility. Now it is forcing quotas and pressuring parents to sell for them. Many offer prizes for sales but they are only obtained if parents set it all up so kids get credit for set ups at malls or the office sales and the kid wasn’t even involved. It’s basically a racket. They are failing our youth for a hidden agenda of profit.

And those tgi friday chips are just in the flavor of a potato sling from tgi Friday’s!!!
    So the potatoes are usually baked until the middle is cooked through, then you scoop out the filling of each half of the potatoes and combine all of your ingredients in a bowl, mix it together, then put it back into the potato. Now you can stop there or you can put the potatoes back into the oven to cook more!

    As an old girl scout, the best combos I know about the cookies are frozen/chilled thin mints (which are great on their own) and a different one where you take two lemonades and put a marshmallow in between the cookies, icing side down facing the marshmallow, and put it in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds; it tastes like a lemon meringue pie! There used to be a similar "hack" with Thanks A Lots (a cookie similar to the lemonades but with chocolate on the bottom and different languages saying thank you on the cookies) for girl scout marshmallows. That is, if you can manage to get your hands on any more girl scout cookies, I would definitely recommend trying the chilled thin mints!
    The girl scouts only sold these once a year, so this person loves your channel seeing how well planned out this package was. Especially since the thin mints and Samoas (caramel delights) are usually the fastest to sell out next to the peanut butter patties.
    Hearing anybody say our cookies are worthy of a double thumbs-up is a great compliment!

    You’re a very gracious family, I hope you can enjoy much more of the silly treats we all love in America. Girl Scout cookies are like drugs, and I have to say no to drugs, but my favorite are the Peanut butter sandwich. They remind me of Nutter Butters which are my drug of choice. 😉 Have you ever had the Nutter Butters? Do they sell those in New Zealand? 🇺🇸 💕 🇳🇿

    I was a Girl Scout and the Trefoils (Shortbread) is my favorite GS Cookie! I like using them to make the crust for my lemon meringue pie! Girl Scout cookies are fairly ubiquitous here in the states. I wish shipping to NZ from here (Ohio) wasn't so expensive, they just released a new flavor... Caramel Brownie!

    I stumbled across this channel a couple days ago, and I just love hearing your reactions. I am totally blind so cannot see the video. But, I was a Girl Scout growing up. And the person who said we all look forward to Girl Scout season is correct. It runs from about mid January to the end of March. We are coming up to the end of it this year.
    Each year, the Girl Scouts come up with a couple of new flavors. So some stick around for a while, while others are gone quickly. We have two bakeries that make them in the United States ABC bakers and little brownie bakers.
    Growing up, we got all of ours from little brownie bakers because, they have more fun names to the cookies. ABC do the same type of cookies, just without the fun names.
    Example, ABC call them caramel delights, wild little brownie bakers call them samoas
    And, oh yeah thin mints out of the freezer or refrigerator they are the bomb.

    My sister was a Girl Scout from 1st grade through high school and my mother was her Girl Scout leader in elementary school so we always had Girl Scout cookies in the house. The peanut butter patties are by far my favorite ❤️! Whoever sent you a box with various Girl Scout cookies was absolutely on point for treating you to purely American 🇺🇸 snacks as they’re huge here with some 30-50% of all girls selling them at some point. Two of my sister’s girls are in Scouts now so I still have my direct line to Girl Scout cookies!

    Hi from California! 🙋
    In regards to the girl scout cookies I really like the lemon ones, but the thin mint is my favorite! Some people put them in the fridge or freezer yummy! They sell out of those so fast tho since they only come around once a year people tend to buy a few boxes. They now sell ice cream with the cookies. Hope you enjoyed another American treat! 😁

    I was a Girl Scout leader for years and my troop sold Girl Scout Cookies every year. They are only sold once a year and are very sought after. My troops sold hundreds of boxes a year. A semi truck would deliver them to us. The Tagalongs(peanut butter ones) and the Thin Mints(mint ones) are the most popular with the coconut coming in third!!!! Enjoy!

    I was a Girl Scout for around 12 years. Some of the cookies change every year but the classics are always there. For some reason, some states don't give the cookies names (except Thin Mints). The shortbreads are called Trefoils, the peanut butter patties are Tagalongs, the peanut butter sandwiches are Do-si-dos, and the coconut ones are Samoas

    I love that you still try the ones you don't think you will like. Sometimes you like it and sometimes you don't, but at least you're willing to try. I think the purpose of selling the Girl Scout cookies is printed on the boxes. If you didn't read it before you got rid of the boxes, you might want to look it up online.
