Girl Scout Cookies... An experiment in social justice nonsense

[Spartan]

Everyone loves these delicious treats.

I propose the following:
Slam them on social media. Just to prove how ridiculous social justice clowns are.

how to do it:
First off, they are called “Girl Scout Cookies” that is sexist. Demand they be called “Scout Cookies”

secondly, demand they drop Samoas. The title is racist, and offensive to South Pacific people.

third, demand they drop Thin Mints. They body shame fat people, especially those who are buying the product in the first place.

Then, sit back, watch the chaos consume everything.

smile.

Dude if you screw up my annual thin mint binge ima hafta show you some anti-social justice !!! Do not rock this boat...

 

[Spartan]

@Catfish
Do not fat shame.
Let’s call them rotund mint cat turds

 

[random]

Problem is, I fear it would actually get traction.

 

[Tim]

I haven't been able to get samoas in a long time, anytime I ask I'm told they are caramel delights.

It doesn’t matter.
They once had a racist name, therefore the company that makes them is evil and absolutely without a single redeeming quality. The penalty is annihilation

the fact that not a single Samoan has complained about the rich, chocolatey, coconutty goodness and delight that is these tasty treats is entirely irrelevant

 

[Millie]

demand they drop Thin Mints.

NOOOOOOOO! lol.

 

[Tim]

The funniest thing is that I took delivery of 4 boxes of thin mints about an hour after posting that!

I read the title and wondered what the * @Alabamacoastie did now.

 

[Mike Overlay]

Holy crap. I didn't know this thread existed. I thought you were commenting on my girl scout thread and then I looked at the title.

For a minute, I thought I must have gotten drunk and changed it last night.

I asked today and they knew damn well which ones i was talking about. they said some other company had regional name rights. I guess in some areas they still are Samoas, but the company that originally made them for girl scouts has a trademark claim that GS can't use THEIR name for THEIR cookies in other regions where other bakeries are being used to make/pack.
Even the little girl at the table was like "oh, lots of people still call them samoas even if the box doesn't".

 

[dmarbell]

Begone, heathens, and let the little girls sell me their Peanut Butter Sandwiches and Peanut Butter Patties. Plus the mommies are now the right age for me to ogle.

 

[Geezer]

That was awesome, @Tim . Please keep us updated for any good comments.

 

[Chihuahua Floyd]

Not to mention that for every $18.95 box of cookies, the Girl Scouts only get $0.12.

I'd rather give them $5.00 and buy my cookies elsewhere.

@Tim , have you gotten any feedback from your post?

@Tim , have you gotten any feedback from your post?

not as much as I thought I would. But, my FB account is pretty well locked down to those in my “sphere”.

 

[Gunbelt]

I can't get a bite on this.


Plus the blatant racism of a cookie named "Samoas" . Also the fat shaming "Thin Mint". Not to mention the utter hypocrisy of being just "Girl Scouts". They have to become more inclusive. They must drop the "Girl" from their name & welcome all of the genders.

Speaking of racist confectionary, does anybody even know the real name for these?

LMAO. Haven’t seen those in years. Only one name I ever heard around here. Something about a toe.

I thought that was Brazil nuts.

I have no idea what racist name these might have.

Are they Eskimo Turds?

It's ok for me to type the E word. I have a friend who's an Eskimo...

 

[Climberman]

Y’all know thin mints are just rebranded Keebler grasshoppers right?

Isn’t Girl Scouts just a way to skirt child labor laws to sell cookies?

 

[yard mongrel]

There is probably at least one sociopath in this thread that isn't putting his Thin Mints in the freezer.

 

[Stick Man]

Oh yeah baby, look what came in today, lol.

THIS.

Our girls used to be in the Girl Scouts. They're 30 and 18 now, and the 18 year old is now in the Scouts. (And quite frankly, both girls preferred doing stuff with the Boy Scouts anyway, even if it was just helping out and doing all the activities with the family.)

The Girl Scouts get a lousy 50 cents on the box for these sales... which are what? $4 a box?

I loves me some Do-si-dos (peanut butter sandwiches), and quite literally bought them by the case when the girls were in the GS.

But it galls me to no end that the leadership of the Girl Scout organization has not only drifted away from teaching girls broad based useful life skills in favor of a curriculum centered around cranking out CEOs, they run a child labor business in the process which makes the liberal-proclaimed 27% wage gap look like a joke in comparison.

Boy Scouts sell popcorn and the money is divided up with 1/3 going to the Pack or Troop, 1/3 going to the Council, and 1/3 hoping to the cost of the popcorn.

Girl Scouts sell cookies, get to keep about 50 cents per box, with about 1/3 paying for the cookies and the rest to their council (or whatever their equivalent is). The council gets a bit over $2 per box to the troop's 50 cents.

Screw that! Instead of buying a case of my favorite cookies, which they'll make about $6 off of, I'll donate $20 which they get to keep as all of...and save myself $24 in the process.
