1. They got downsized?

:shrug:

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

16. actully its "rightsized" :)

[DarkPhenyx]

2. I get freebie Somoas from my boss.

She buys them cuz she feels she has to when they come to her door, but she won't eat them and gives them to me as I can afford the calories.

This is the only way I have ever benefited from guilt.

[Deja Q]

3. They were never large...

Yup, 50 cents more per box.

Yup, they make the cookies in hexagonal form to cut costs...

They seem to contain just as much saturated fat... :9

Hell, just enjoy them. After peak oil, we'll be lucky to be alive and prosperous, let alone just alive. Think of the smaller cookie as the world's oil supply... Actually, don't, the parallels are rather frightning...

[matcom]

4. they USED to be full sized cookies!!

and i will NOT take this lying down!!

they were full...
they were large....
they were luscious!!!....

now they are mini-treats and I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!!

hey lady at work - peddling for your daughter....

DO NOT come looking for MY money next year!!

GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peterh]

8. they were full...they were large....they were luscious!!!....

the subject was cookies….right??

[LisaM]

5. LOL, you have to buy them because the fundies are boycotting them!

I want to know when they switched Thin Mints to chocolate cookies (they used to be white cookies with chocolate minty frosting and were way better) and what happened to Scotties and Savannahs?

I think the fundies are boycotting them because of something to do with Planned Parenthood, but I can't remember all the details.

[ET Awful]

6. How DARE they alter Samoas . . .

Those were the ONLY Girl Scout cookies worth purchasing :(

This is an OUTRAGE!!!!

[Catshrink]

15. Off the subject, but that Quinn is one pretty little kitty.

I just want to scratch that sweet little head and give him scritches on his chin. What an adorable little guy!

[ET Awful]

23. Thanks, he's become pretty popular on DU :)

Everybody loves him!

He's a good kid (that needs his claws trimmed this weekend).

[Catshrink]

24. It's easy to see why!

He's so cuddly! Good luck trimming the claws. That is my least favorite cat chore.

[jus_the_facts]

7. They made 'em smaller with your ASS in mind....

.....this way it'll stay all smiley and kissable!! :D

[Hubert Flottz]

9. George Bush sent them all to Iraq I heard!

Same place he sent our 160 billion social security dollars! Halliburton/Cheney INC. is selling those cookies for $564534234.99 a box to the troops about now, I'd guess! It's called 'Operation winning back the hearts and minds of Bush's biggest campaign Donors'!

[renegade000]

10. MWAUHAHAHA

my plans for world domination are going swimmingly!

[Skittles]

11. hey Matcom, my Samoas were not miniaturized

perhaps it is time for you to put down the pipe.

[matcom]

12. LIAR!!!

but i :loveya: anyways! :D

you sayin' i got DEFECTIVE SAMOAS???????????????

no WAY!!!!!!!!!

[Bossy Monkey]

14. You mean you haven't heard of the Nigerian girl scout cookies scam?

DEAR SIR:
YOU MAY WONDER WHY YOU ARE HEARING FROM ME WHOM YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF, BUT I AM THE SON-IN-LAW OF THE LEADER OF THE NIGERIAN GIRL SCOUTS...

[Beetwasher]

18. I Just Got Some Too and Mine Weren't Miniaturized

They came in a smaller box though...:shrug:

[Skittles]

19. I heard someone today on TV say Massachusetts wasn't really America

that might explain it. :7

13. The Cookie Song

The Cookie Song
tune: This is the Song That Never Ends..

The cookie song that never ends
We're selling cookies here my friends
And if you buy a box of them, or maybe even two,
We'll stop singing long enough for you and you and you

To get yourselves right out the door
After you're gone we'll sing some more.
We'll sell you extra cookies if you want to come right back.
And you can have them later for a little bitty snack.

Samoas, Snaps, and Thin Mints, too,
We've got them all right here for you.
We want to thank you very much for every little thing.
And while we sell our cookies we will sing and sing and sing

The cookie song that never ends
We're selling cookies here my friends.....
(repeat, and repeat, and repeat.....)

[CapnJackSparrow]

17. There's only like..

...400 fat grams per samoa. If you drink a Diet Coke while eating them, it evens out.

[northofdenali]

20. ROFL! Does the same thing apply to Thin Mints?

If I drink 2% milk with them?

Welcome to DU!

[CapnJackSparrow]

22. I think so.

It better, because I inhaled half a tube's worth tonight.

21. I just bought Edy's Girl Scout Cookie Samoas Ice Cream today!

Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Have to wait until the kiddies are sleeping! I'll let you know if it's any good (hoping so, I love Samoas).

It's a limited edition ice cream, so I don't know how long it will be out. Meijer had it on sale for $3.50 for the "downsized half-gallon".

Edited to add picture. Available Jan-Apr.
