"betcha can't eat just one..."

Lays potato chip company turned the the common phrase, "betcha can't eat just one," into a strategic marketing pitch. I now say the phrase after finding myself munching on a good snack in which I just can't seem to quit! 


I'm specifically talking about, in this post, about Girl Scout Cookies! Did you get your order in yet!? Do you have a designated Girl Scout?! A co-worker has a daughter in Girl Scouts, so as soon as she had the order form posted in our break room, my name was on the list! 


When I was younger my most favorite cookie, was the Peanut Butter Pattie--or Tagalongs. 
This year however, I did not order these at all! I'm kinda sad about it, because it was my favorite cookie for as long as I can remember, and my mom orders me a box every year. Just this year, I decided it's not my favorite anymore. I've never lost a favorite anything before. :( They will still hold a special place in my heart!


But my new favorite, (which as taken over 1st place in the past few years) which I am excited about are Thin Mints! They are just perfect chocolaty-minty-cookie-goodness! And how good are they after being in the freezer!? MmmMmm. I can eat a whole sleeve of these in one sitting if I don't restrict myself. Oops!


I ordered Lemonades and Caramel Delights. I have never liked CD because I don't like the texture of coconut, but that day I ordered i had a craving for them...yes, weird, I know, because i've never eaten them before! 


These are the Lemonades! They are a shortbread cookie with a lemon icing on the bottom. Just a light lemon taste and very good! Nothing too rich! 


These are my 3 picks this year. Hope you found your cookie-seller! I'm craving some right now and can't wait until delivery day soon, sometime next month! Gosh, so many good things are going on in March! I can't wait for it and it's cookies to get here!


Betcha can't eat just one...I KNOW I can't!

  1. I LOVE GSC. Seriously. I love them. I have a huuuuge problem. I also admit, in all honesty, there have been days where I have eaten MORE than 1 box (as in 2) in the same day before!!! That's seriously so so so bad...but I have. And I don't like to share. Not even with Pat. Hahaha.
    My favorites are caramel delights, the oatmeal peanutbutter ones and tagalongs. Oh and the plain shortbread ones are good too.

  7. I love girl scout cookies!! I didn't order any this year though. I was strong and resisted the temptation. I love Tagalongs, but Samoas (what you called Caramel Delights) are my absolute favorite. I'm a fellow Bluegrass State girl too! I live in BG. I'm a new follower. :)
