Girl Scout cookies
Posted: Thursday, May 1, 2008 by Jalu in
This march, there is something special, nope nope it's not Doomsday movie, nor the lovely spring break for students in USA, but it's a cookie, called Girl scout Cookie. Friend of mine in French Club brought some for us, she always said that it's the best cookie in US, lots of people crazy about this cookie.
Let see from the historical side for the starting point, this cookie was being sold since 1917, it was not by girl scout, but by American Troop, they did that to raise fund for their unit, and on 1933, the girl scout of Philadelphia started to sell the same cookie and for the same reason, it was only girl scout, not boy or anybody else, that's why it's called Girl Scout Cookie.
You can only find this cookie on March, maybe that's why it so special, and they are vary in Price and type, let say roughly 2-5 bucks, depends on the spot where you buy and what kinda cookie you want. There are several type of the cookie, those are Thin Mints, Do-si-Dos (Peanut Butter Sandwiches), Shortbread, Lemonades, Cinna-Spins, and Caramel Delites which is my favorite.
The way they sell is standing on the street with a small table and lined up those cookies, offering that to any Pedestrian, or maybe they do it door by door, knock every door in their neighborhood, once again, Only in March. why March? who know? might be they have bunch of programs on Summer, like summer camp or whatever is that.
For me, the cookie is nice, or maybe not bad, not so special, I still have no idea why Americans crazy about it. that's enough for the information. thanks for coming guys...
