Picture this: you're walking out of your local neighborhood grocery store, and you see them. The cutest little girls calling out for potential, new victims. It's here. It's time. It's cookie season.
They ask you, "Would you like to buy any girl scout cookies?" And even if you just bought a few boxes from somebody's child at work, or from other girl scouts on the other side of town, there's no humanly way that you can say no to their cute little faces. You buy a few more boxes. The cookies are taking over. You now have more boxes of cookies than you can store in your pantry. But it doesn't matter because these are some of the best cookies ever.
To say that a Girl Scout cookie is “nasty” is blasphemy. Next to Oreos, these are truly the greatest cookies in the universe. Girl Scout cookie season is about just as popular as Black Friday shopping. These glorious cookies are seriously an addiction. And it blows my mind at the fact that people really think that these don't taste good, or worst, that they're "bad cookies."
Do you hear yourself? A BAD cookie?
This truly cannot be tolerated any longer. How can anybody think such negative things about such a delicious treat? Girl Scout cookies really are something out of the wildest dream. I can't fathom that there are people out there who don't like any of the flavors? While all of the cookies are delicious in their own way, I do understand having a favorite cookie. Mine happens to be Thin Mints, but I’m not against expanding outside of my comfort zone and diving into a box of Samoas, Tagalongs, or Trefoils.
These cookies have the unbelievable power to break any diet known to mankind. Being around only once a year allows everyone to enjoy them while they possibly can, as families everywhere stock up as if they won’t be around next year.
And c’mon, it’s not like you can ever just eat one.
It’s like these cookies are personally there for you when you need them the most, and then you realize that a box can go no longer than lasting one day. How does one not eat a full sleeve in one sitting?
I have yet to meet one person who doesn’t enjoy these little handfuls of love. There’s a flavor for everyone! There is too much negativity circling the internet about “bad” cookies. Let’s get one thing straight, there is no such thing as a “bad” Girl Scout cookie. They’re all perfect and if you can’t see that then you don’t deserve to enjoy any of the cookies.
RIP to my summer body. Damn you, Girl Scouts.
Pro Tip: Freeze your Thin Mints before enjoying. So. Much. Better.
