The cookie we all know and came to love. I've found the alternative!

I found a box at Kroger for 5 dollars and it caught my sweetie by surprise that it tastes just like Girl Scout cookies and after having a few myself, I couldn't help but agree. I then look up on reviews to confirm my suspicions... I was correct. I like how they look nearly identical too lmao.

Not myself or my sweetie could dispute this taste now. I thought I share this love for girl scout cookies with you guys with another awesome delicious alternative.

There is no substitute...

Don't bash it til you try it!

 

[BertramCooper]

Sorry, I only buy cookies that support ziplining black girls.

 

[threetri333]

Any for Samoas?

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Any for Samoas?

Keebler Coconut Dreams. IMO, I could barely tell a difference.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Thanks! I've been looking for an alternative for quite some time, but to no avail.

 

[SmithnCo]

Nice. Thin mints were always my favorite.

If I'm going to eat a shitty cookie, it's going to go for a good cause.

 

[Zabka]

7-11 has some good knockoffs of Girl Scout cookies.

 

[drspeedy]

I wonder what google would say about Interbake foods.


I mean, I wouldn't know of any connection. I just wonder...

You deserve a PA response.

Close as you'll get

I know hating everything and being wrong is kinda your thing, but really? Even Thin Mints?

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Yeah, see above for the Coconut Dreams. Keebler does a fantastic job on replicating them.

As for the OP, thanks for the info! I see those weekly.

 

[Chuckl3s]

Every time this year, when I visit wal-mart I feel like I'm going to get gang raped by girl scouts to purchase their cookies.

 

[FelixOrion]

I only get those peanut butter ones

I thought keebler was the supplier of girl scout cookies...

I didn't realize Crossroads GPS sold cookies.

 

[Borgnine]

I like to buy 40 boxes of these and shove them in their fucking faces on the way out the door. Stupid bitches trying to learn shit and do activities and stuff. I don't think so.

 

[drspeedy]

Quiet, you! What's next, gonna tell us Drinky Crow isn't really one person?

I would if they are more affordable. Any printable coupons?


They charge for $4.00 a box.

Sarcasm much?

What? I always thought I was a positive, well liked and respected kind of guy.
I like samoas... if that makes you happy.

Girl Scout cookies are so overpriced too, and you don't even get that much.

What does the rest of the world do without thin mints?

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Ha. Really? That would make sense as they taste identical.

So Keebler make them, the Girl Scouts just slap their logo on them, and some profits go to Girl Scouts. Is what I assume.

Edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keebler_Company

Keebler-Wyl Bakery became the official baker of Girl Scout Cookies in 1936, the first commercial company to bake the cookies (the scouts and their mothers had done it previously). By 1978, four companies were producing the cookies.[3] Little Brownie Bakers is the Keebler division still licensed to produce the cookies.

I regret the day I discovered these.

They are so good.

1 pack lasts only a day in my house.

 

[ZetaEpyon]

The alternative to Thin Mints is more Thin Mints, obviously.

Thankfully I discovered this during my health-craze a few years back. I actually only bought one box to test out the "theory". :lol

Ok, that's true. BUT- let's be honest, you don't make iconic products for someone for years without learning a thing or two.


The Girl Scouts do make the profit (which is kinda the point of selling something), and they in turn use the proceed to benefit millions of children all over the country. So c'mon, give the kids the what, $20/year premium for a few boxes of really tasty cookies?

The rest of the year... free market rules, gentlemen.

I'm not even reading this thread. This is all just wrong.

Problem is, there's two completely different types of Thin Mints, depending on where you live and which company they're produced by. I love the Thin Mints that we have back home (Midwest, I think it's ABC something as the producer), where as the ones here on the West coast I find terrible.

So that explains the differences between the Caramel DeLites and Samoas. Two different names for the same cookie.

Interbake owns ABC Bakers (America's Best Cookies).

But you're right. the Girl Scouts Contract Manufacture their cookies, so there is no one "GS Cookie Factory". And many of those baking companies also contract manufacture for other businesses... like, say, Back to Nature.


Another spoiler:

Back to Nature is owned by Kraft
