    If I was buying mystery boxes of mystery shit on the deep web and ended up with a box of girl scout cookies I wouldn’t even be mad.

      That’s the genius of it. Oh, my box is Thin Mints? Cool! Especially when you have had a few days to think of all the worse things it could have been.

      Are girl scout cookies always the same or does it depend on where they come from? I’ve seen them in just about every American sitcom/animated sitcom ever and I’m just curious if they are a specific brand or something else?

        They’re all the same.

        “Girl Scout Cookies” is a brand of its own. They’re mostly pretty good too. I’m a samoa guy, when I can be talked into spending way too much on cookies where the actual local scouts don’t really see enough of the funding from the sales.

        I’m not a fan of the organization. The cookies though, they’re legit.

          Small correction, only discovered when I moved across the country: there are two factories producing Girl Scout Cookies – and the recipes have overlap, but each production company has a few unique ones. So sometimes I have to order from my niece rather than my neighbor.

          Some of them are the same everywhere, though.

          • That’s why in some areas Samoas are called Caramel Delights. IIRC, they use extremely slightly different recipes, and there is some sort of licensing agreement between the two.

            All I know is that as a Cub/Boy Scout, I loathed Girl Scout Cookie season, because it overlapped with Boy Scout Popcorn season. It took me years to figure out that the way to sell the stuff was to completely ignore the product, and sell the idea of “keeping young boys from inventing their own entertainment.”
