I will stab you in the face if you try to argue that Thin Mints are not the best Girl Scout cookie.

Thread over. Thin mints are the safe backup. Tagalongs are tasty, though.

Take two thin mints. Put marshmallow fluff between them. Watch as your cookie destroys all Oreos and Hydrox anally.

Well, really, it isn't fair to call Thin Mints "cookies" in any case - they're more like legalized crack.

In the blender:

3 balls of vanilla ice cream (get the good stuff, you're using thin mints)
A splash of whole milk
5 thin mints

Blend. Wide-bore straw or spoon.

Ta Daaaa.

I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that Thin Mints were at the top of the Girl Scout Cookie hierarchy?

Thank you both for doing my job for me.

I'll just reiterate tired jokes about getting kicked out of the boy scouts for eating a brownie.

According to the Girl Scouts of America, here is the percentage-of-total-sales breakdown of its most popular cookies, as of 2011:

Thin Mints 25%
Samoas/Caramel deLites 19%
Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs 13%
Do-si-Dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich 11%
Shortbread/Trefoils 9%

I do also like the peanut butter patties (tagalongs) though. Not sure whether subby meant those or the peanut butter sandwiches (do-si-dos). Those things are just a crappy knockoff of oreos, in peanut butter flavor.

Just a bit of factual information here.

An entire sleeve of Do-si-dos has fewer calories, and more fiber than any food item at McDonalds.

Thin mints are only good if frozen. I do have to say though, I think the recipe isn't as good as I recall even 5-6 years ago.. I think they've recently made some sort of change to the chocolate or something.

Samoas blow chunks. Thin Mints rule, with Tagalongs as a close seconds.

Then come All-abouts, shortbread trefoils, and the lemon ones.

This is the truth, here. I'd kill a man for a box of Samoas. Thankfully, you can buy a very close knock-off of them, for those lonely and painful times before and after Girl Scout cookie season. Keebler makes them, and they're called Coconut Dreams, I believe.

If I were to go back in time and tell younger-me that I would someday know a guy who was obsessed with Girl Scouts with nuts, younger-me would call older-me a liar.

Seconded. I can't really enjoy them unless they're named after a Pacific island nation full of people who can't appreciate having a cookie named after them. YOU HEAR ME SOMOA? THEY'LL ALWAYS BE SOMOANS TO ME! DELICIOUS NATIVE SAMOAN COCONUT CHOCOLATE COOKIE LIKE THING THAT MELTS WAY TOO QUICKLY IN MY HANDS!
