We don’t have girl scout cookies fund raisers around here, so I had to do a little research. I will share to save some the trouble. A do-si-do is one type of cookie that the girl scouts sell, they look scrumptious. They are a brown cookie with a generous center of sweet peanut butter garnish. A box of cookies appears to contain two sleeves of 8 cookies. Each cookie contains 160 calories, ergo a sleeve is 1280 cals and a box, 2560 cal. The only thing left to elucidate is what is meant by a “serving size”, given that one’s total daily calorie intake should be between 2000 to 2500. Discuss…
The last time I was arm-twisted to buy those over-priced things was years ago when a co-worker would annually bring in an order book for his daughter. I feel sorry for anyone who is subjected to that while at work.
When I first tried the “premium” ice creams that were sold in pint containers I thought These are so good AND they come in ‘single serving’ containers!

Ergo, if Lao Tzu was alive today, he would say A binge of a thousand cookies starts with a Do-Si-Do.

To me, they will always be Samoas. Because when I finish the first box, I want samoa. And samoa. And samoa.

One of my complaints about GSCs is that the full package isn’t enough to share unless it’s the kind you don’t like.

Unfortunately, Caulfield seems consumed ,and indeed narrowed, by the concepts of good and bad!
A reasonably fair journey or a moderately bad journey, don’t seem to fit in his rigid world view!

Since they started making them so tiny, a sleeve is a serving.

Because Lao Tzu’s quotation is TRUE of a good journey or a bad journey.

I’m thinking Lao Tzu could be paraphrased by “the premise of a thousand comic strips begins with the mention of a single aphorism.”

Yeah, I gotta agree with him on the serving size.

And who’s to say whether a girl scout cookie binge is a good or bad journey. Also everyone knows that a true cookie binge begins with a thin mint.

I have always thought that there were only two servings in a box of Thin Mints

For thin mints a box is a serving size to me!
yaakovashoshana over 3 years ago
That’s the rule. If the package is not resealable, it’s a single serving.

If banana oil is made from bananas and coconut oil is made from coconuts what are girl scout cookies made of?

Thus starts that eternal conundrum—what is your favorite Girl Scout cookie? (Thin mints for me!)
