What Happened When A French Student Finally Discovered Girl Scout Cookies

And realizing what Girls Scout cookies taste like for the first time.

What Happened When A French Student Finally Discovered Girl Scout Cookies
Weight Off My Shoulders

I am French.

All I knew about the United States was what I watched in American shows.

And more than often in the shows, they referenced Girl's Scout cookies. And I am like, "okay, people like to buy stuff from little girls." #weird

And I thought it was just another American cliché (you know, like cheeseburgers.)

So a couple of months ago, when the Girl's scout season came, I was pretty surprised to see how my boyfriend reacted when he saw Girl Scouts selling cookies on the street.

His reaction? Mhm. How could I describe it to you?

My boyfriend is a calm person. He is not a party guy (and neither am I), he doesn't listen to music too loud, he doesn't laugh or speak too loud. He is not a loud guy.

So that day when I was driving and he was in the passenger seat, he suddenly shouted, "Oh my god, Girls Scout Cookie are back!!" He doesn't sound really funny right now, but picture a drug addict's joy after he finally drugs up after months and months of sobriety.

And he called all his family (parents and brother) to warn them.

And I said to myself, "maybe, the Girls Scout Cookies are not just an American legend? Maybe, it's real."

I came back to my boyfriend's house a few days later, and being someone that is particularly obsessed with good food, I knew something was different.

Yes. It smelled like cookies (yes, I have the ability of smelling cookies.)

Just to clarify something: I make the best cookies in the world. We all know someone that says "my grandmother/mother makes the best cookies," but no, stop saying that, because I am the only person you'll meet that can make the best cookies ever. (Even if it is my boyfriend's mom recipe ahah.)

I love food, and I am an adventurer. Picture me as a fat Indiana Jones that doesn't focus on archeology, but rather on food-ology (so proud of this joke right now.)

Even if I knew my cookies were the best, I had to hurt myself and try these "famous" cookies. Why? I think I am a masochist. Or just really really fat. I can't decide.

The Samoas Cookies: biscuit coated with chocolate, coconut, and caramel.

My reaction?

Yes, there is a god, and this god is a cookie.

All this time in the darkness, I can finally see the light. I can see the truth.

So dear Cookies, I've decided to track every single one of your kind and eat you. I don't know what cookies aspire to be, and I don't know if it is your destiny to be eaten.

But it doesn't matter anymore: I will find you. And I will eat you.



You can laugh, but my boyfriend actually got scared and asked me --after reading this little comics-- "You won't become like that, right?" #asshole

And to finish, this little video, one of many that rose the Girl's Scout cookie legend for me:

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
