There’s one, and only one, time during the year that I’m excited when somebody rings the door bell. If the person standing on my doorstep isn’t handing me a box of Samoas or Thin Mints, quite frankly, I’m not interested. And I’d venture to say that I’m not alone on that one! Compare your favorites in this nutritional comparison and get excited for the newest lemon-flavored cookie, Savannah Smiles, as it marks the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts this year. Consider this list when that cutie with the cookies arrives at your door!

i love it when the cuties come to my back door. I leave it unlocked for easy entry. The only problem was that I had to lube the hinges because it was so squeaky. Now they surprise me with their cookies whenever they want.
I totally know what you mean Mr. Joos. I love the girl scouts too! But I really love when the boy scouts come in and sell me their popcorn. I guess I like those buttered kernels better than cookies.
