I made some little girl scouts in the next town over very happy. I'm admitting my addiction caused me to spend slightly over $31 on Girl Scout cookies. I bought a few different kinds as a token gesture so that my hubby knows he wasn't overlooked, but the majority of my purchase was those THIN MINTS!!
There was a brief moment of horror as I took note of the short box. What the heck?!?!?! When did this start? Did I not buy them last year that I missed some notified transition? Or did they switch the size & keep the price all whilst I was unaware?
Hmmm.... I'd love some feedback on this, but I do realize not everyone is so obsessed about their cookies & some of you probably couldn't care less. But I'm a cheap motha, and I'd like to know...
WHEN DID THE SHORT BOX COME ABOUT?
Of course the other sad fact that comes with having spent more money on a shorter box of Thin Mints is that it takes a lot less time to eat an entire sleeve... or two... or heck, the whole dang box!
NOM NOM NOM....

Are all the boxes smaller? I read this article but it sounds like they are just talking about one type of cookie...

No Lisa, I hadn't seen that. But you're right, it does seem to be talking about one type of cookie. I'm all for cutting back on the paper product waste, BUT it does look like the cookie sleeves are smaller too, no?
ReplyDeleteYep, I think they are smaller sleeves also. :(
