Girl Scout Cookies Make Us Want to Puke -- Episode 1: Peanut Butter Patties (a.k.a. Tagalongs)

• The cookies accually taste different this year. Something different about the cookie part. It sucks

• I just bought and tried a box of these, and in my expert opinion, it tastes exactly the same as the Keebler kind, except now there's more cookie and less peanut butter, and there's kind of a shortbread aftertaste to them that wasn't there before. *shrug*

• I really tried not to enter this conversation, but here goes. Yes, cookies can be made, deliciously, with wholesome ingredients. Food Science makes them hold up longer than a week. My SERIOUS complaint: the ABC company, whether Nabisco, or Keebler, or whoever, have ruined these cookies. I am a fan of the Girl Scouts and their cookies. But every single "flavor" had none...no flavor!!! THEY ARE AWFUL! I gave all 12 boxes I bought away.

• Hey, I realize it's for a good cause so I bought some boxes, knowing that the ingredients were probably going down hill but what the hey. But they are TERRIBLE! I didn't expect them to be good for me but these Tagalongs taste HORRIBLE! Seriously, I wanna puke. I still would've bougt 'em to help out but I should of gave them to the first person I saw or thrown 'em in the nearest dumpster. Next year I just might see if I can make a cash donation.

• Except that they're bland as shit now and pretty gross! Honestly, I'd rather just donate to a GS troop.

• Actually, I have 2 girls in girl scouts. Normal people just say "no thank you" if they don't want any cookies. Luckily the writer of this article was practically held at gun point by Girl Scouts and not practically held at gun point by drug dealers or this article would be about how drugs are bad for you. LOL

• I wonder what the label was like with the old baker. At any rate, these "Peanut Butter Patties" are not nearly as tasty as the Tagalongs were.

• Not an expert but a parent of a Girl Scout and i find this article amusing. Just to point out the economy has changed a lot since I was a kid and a Girl scout but the price of the cookies haven't changed much. To make it profitable for the girls ( each troop keeps a portion of the proceeds to fund uniforms or camp-out etc) The company that makes the cookies (ABC) has cut back yes it is all sugar and nothing nutritious but they are still sinfully delicious. The whole purpose of getting the nation on sugar high 1/4 of the year is the help the Girls!

• The point here is not that Girls Scouts sell cookies as a fundraiser - that's a brilliant idea; sugar and spice and all that. What IS bad is that cookies can be made and manufactured very nicely with just butter, sugar, eggs and flour - REAL ingredients as opposed to cheap, processed crap.I never saw red #40 lake or high fructose corn syrup in my grandma's pantry.

• This just in: cookies, they're bad for you. Why the big expose? Were you previously unfamiliar with cookies and their general ingredients? Did the gun-toting Girl Scouts possibly tell you you were buying chocolate-coated carrots?

• Everything in moderation... the problem isn't nutritionally void food, the problem is people can't control themselves. Take the responsibility for putting it in your own mouth and in turn making yourself fat.

• haha these cookies are terrible for you, as is most everything out there. watch all the opinionated kooks come out of the woodwork for getting them all worked up over the nutritional information of a cookie associated with fundraising for the girl scouts. hey girl scout obsessive types who will have hate and anger driving through your veins after reading this blog entry. THE COOKIES AREN'T GOOD FOR YOU! IT'S A FACT. i don't think the RFT intention is to slam the Girl Scouts of America. good for nothin nutbags!

• Bacon makes everything delicious. Sugar just gives you cavities.

• But SUGAR is what makes everything DELICIOUS.

• Wait, no, we're getting the non-Keebler versions now. Dammit, Wikipedia.

• Let me take a guess, Kxjeff10: You don't have kids.

• Not Nabisco, Keebler, on both counts

• Huh, St. Louis is getting the "Peanut Butter Patties" version of these now? That means that we're getting the versions of Girl Scout Cookies made by a subsidiary of Nabisco now. It also means that the virtually identical fake Nabisco versions of Tagalogs (can't remember what they're called) and Thin Mints (Grasshoppers) are even more identical. Don't ask me, The Internet told me one time. I like how 2 cookies is a fourth of your daily value in saturated fat.

• I luv it "practically held at gunpoint and forced to buy (in multiple quantities, from multiple Girl Scouts, no less)". Your Pathetic! How bout this, Don't buy any!
