deeply saddened by girl scout cookies changing the recipe to their tagalongs.

they're not even called tagalongs anymore and they taste like complete shit. first off the cookie portion of the cookie is now way to thick and the peanut butter concoction is think and more processed as well.


i was pretty unhappy when famous amos sold out in the late 80's 90's and they became assembly line shitty chips ahoy type cookies, but the girl scouts?


wut a disappointment. they were already a mass produced product. but at least they were good. now they taste old/stale and the consistency is worse, like they opted for cheaper higher preserve model.


i can remember fond memories stuffing one after another my mouth, now i don't even want to eat a second one.




well played girl scouts, well played..

They're still called tagalongs in my area (NYC)

The whole girl scout thing just seems like such a scam though. Donate your money to a worthy charity and buy some shitty cookies from the grocery store for a fraction of the price.

The thin mint, tagalongs, and smores are all pretty good. I ate way too many of these, and I admit they probably contributed to some of the 15 pounds I gained during the first half of 2018.

Pretty bad if they changed the recipe, though.

I did find that girl scout cookies vary from market to market, even within the same state. I bought some from a girl in Ben's class last year, and the offerings were somewhat different than what my brother's daughters were selling in northern CA.

Not sure how that works.

Here's an article from Minnesota breaking down where the money goes:

Baking and transporting the cookie takes up 27 percent of the cost – or $1.08 of the $4 box. There are two Girl Scout Cookie bakers in the United States. Girl Scouts River Valleys works with Little Brownie Baker from Louisville, Ky.

After paying to make the cookie, 21 percent ($0.84) goes straight back to the troop. Local troops can use it for supplies or pay for uniforms.

Another 19 percent ($.076) goes toward volunteer support to train and screen the volunteers for the 41,000 Scouts. A good chunk, 15 percent ($0.61), pays to upgrade the camps and subsidize the cost to make it more affordable for scouts who wouldn’t otherwise be able to participate.

Twelve percent ($0.49) goes toward leadership programs, which Ross calls “overarching programming experience.” And the final six percent ($0.22) goes to local administrative offices and support.

So it looks like the manufacturing cost of the cookies is marked up to almost 4x the price, and then 73% goes into the Girl Scouts in some way.

Whatever. I mainly buy them to help out the girls selling them, and secondarily because I like cookies.

there's two virtually identical versions now. but their made in 2 different places with different ingredients.

the tagalongs and the peanut butter patties.

run far away from the peanut butter patties version..it even uses high fructose corn syrup

motherfuckers have to go and ruin shit

Pretty sure they’ve been called two different names depending on where you live due to the two different bakers for decades now.

As long as Samoas don't change, I'm good.

I'm a little surprised you are allowed to purchase Girl Scout cookies

Thread should have been

Deeply sunken eyed diabetic can't purchase cookies directly.

just before i read this i ate one one these..i remembered them being pretty rich and delicious so i was stoked because the pb patty sucked. but as soon as i put on one my mouth i was like wtf?... i said to myself, they changed this recipe as well? i looked at the box and it said caramel delites. but after tasting it it wasn't nearly as good as the samoas.

the chocolate and topping was very dry, and there was zero richness as a whole. something the samoa prides it self of.

they obv make 2 versions of this cookie as well prolly baked in 2 places with different ingredients as well.

the cookies i currently bought were purchased in florida on a trip. never in the northeast have girl scout cookies tasted like shit. FLA must get the shitty knockoff version all the time.

i seriously threw the pb patties away and will prolly do the same with the caramel delites. it's really that much worse

This map of which cookies are sold where makes no sense....Dallas gets one version...Fort Worth the other?

I moved from Central MA to RI last year, can confirm there is certainly a difference in cookie quality and ABC can get fucked with a loooooong dick.

Pretty funny when you compare some of the saints on this site casting shame on me for consumption of
product A. vs product B.
Product A, alcohol, makes you feel better blah, blah, blah
Product B, fatso food, makes you feel better blah, blah, blah

too much of product A or B.....you die

the one difference, product b is glorified......
each twinkie or girl scout cookie
takes on a magical form
product b not so much

try giving up your twinkies you stupid fat asses
