[tinfoil hat on] **THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GIRL SCOUTS!** Seriously When was the last time you bought Girl Scout Cookies from an _actual_ Girl Scout? Like twenty years ago! All of the Girl Scouts have grown up. The cookies are all left over from the last cookie drive that happend in 1979. Everytime they discontinue a type, it is just because they are out of them. These cookies are all sold by grown women in offices. They’re not Girls at all! Oh and **THIN MINTS ARE PEOPLE!!** ---

**Zebra** You’ve got it all wrong. The cookies are all part of some mass-government plan to get us addicted. Soon, the cookies will be taxed- $35 a box, but we’ll still buy. Then, in one swoop, the cookies will vanish. Americans will go crazy. Only one man can save us- the President! But, he’ll only give us our cookies if we allow him to get rid of the other branches; leaving him with complete and utter power! MWAHAHAHAHAA ---

This time of year is terrible. I feel like I’m hanging over the front seats of the station wagon saying _are we there yet?_. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/soon-i-will-get-my-fix-and-oh-it-shall-be-sweet/290440.md?page=1)
