In some regions of the country, the Girl Scout Cookies you know and eat too many of have very different names. You know what they call Thin Mints in those places? Thin Mints. They call them Thin Mints. The name is an absolute, just like their deliciousness.
And who knows the most about the deliciousness of cookies, of everyone in the world? Cookie Monster. And what would Cookie Monster do with Samoas?
Thin Mints have that classic cookie crumble-ability. The caramel insists they never crumble, which everyone knows cookies are meant to do. They basically have no soul. In a room full of Samoas, people will get all excited about the Samoas, eat all the Samoas, and then, eventually, become ill and not want any more Samoas even if they were around, because too much coconut is not a good thing at all.
And, then, you look over in the corner, and there it is: an untouched box of Thin Mints, 32 cookies strong and just waiting for you to lean back and pop them into your mouth one by one, and laugh and laugh, and realize that you are eating the greatest cookie ever made by a Girl Scout.
Who totally make them, right? Sorry, I almost didn't hear all that Thin Mint noise because I was too busy eating a Samoa, which, as we all know, is the actual champion of Girl Scout Cookies.
It's undeniably true that there are fewer Samoas in a box, and that you can physically only eat about three at a time. But that's the whole point. You eat five Thin Mints in a row and keep going because they just don't make much of an impact -- your brain goes on "feed me" autopilot and you lose track of what you're doing.
Samoas are so complex and delicious that they demand you slow down and enjoy every blissful bite. Is that so wrong? Plus you're never gonna eat a whole sleeve, forget it happened, and then look down in disbelief at the crumbs around you like Lennie realizing what he just did to Curley's wife.
Here's maybe the mightiest testament to how great Samoas are: you don't even have to love coconut to enjoy 'em. I shunned coconut like it was a vegetable as a kid and still can't bring myself to stare directly at a coconut cake. The cookies are branded as Americana: No wonder former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg bought some at a caucus site. Sparkly and neon-mittened hands by their sides, the girls listen as the woman reminisces about her door-knocking days before selling her two boxes of Trefoils, the shortbreads closest to the original Girl Scout cookie.
A few minutes later, a gaggle of men dressed for the New York Rangers game walk by. The girls laugh. They understand the power of the cookies and, moreover, they know how to harness it. Their uniforms are cookie-centric: On top of their puffy coats, they sport polyester vests comprised of a smiling Samoa and a Thin Mint, respectively.
Robles has become somewhat famous for her sales — you can find her photo on the new box design of the Caramel Chocolate Chip cookies, a reward for high-cookie sales. Only some states sell this gluten-free variety. Two different bakeries make the dozen varieties of Girl Scout cookies, hence the slightly different flavors and names : Samoas vs. Caramel deLites. But I think they were effective for us because people in our community were excited to help us … make something happen for [ourselves].
Families, moreover, are often excited to pass down the experiences of the Girl Scouts. Parker is the mother of Murphy, the troop leader in Orange County. Today, she helps Murphy run her own. This sense of legacy, combined with a deep focus on entrepreneurship, distinguishes the Girl Scouts from many other youth organizations today.
Still, some wonder how much the monetary definition of cookie-selling success excludes communities. She worries that the organization focuses too much on awards and business leadership, perpetuating corporate feminism. We break down and we buy the Thin Mints because they are single-handedly the best Girl Scout cookie and arguably in the top five of the entire cookie genre.
Thin Mints are a classic cookie that everyone knows and loves. Sometimes the classics can be overlooked or called overrated. These original cookies do not deserve that — they deserve respect and adoration. Their minty, chocolatey goodness is unmatched by any other.
An Influenster poll shows that Thin Mints are the most popular of Girl Scout cookies in 25 out of the 50 states, further proving that Thin Mints are the best cookie. Samoas were a close second, with 18 states buying those the most, but they are always tied with another cookie as well.
Each state that said Thin Mints were its most popular only listed Thin Mints. Other states usually listed a tie between multiple Girl Scout cookies. Thin Mints did not tie or match with any cookie because their greatness stands alone. Girl Scout cookie profits go toward empowering the women of tomorrow, teaching them leadership skills and using their earnings to learn more and help the community.
Every G. Thin Mints are now also vegan, once again claiming the spot of best Girl Scout cookie, promising complete cruelty-free deliciousness in every box. While some other cookies have a vegan option sometimes only sold in certain areas , Thin Mints are not making you choose, and they never will.
