Every year we look forward to Girl Scout cookie season, which runs from early January to late March—even though the calories involved do not help us lose the extra pounds we picked up over the holidays. We buy our Thin Mints and Tagalongs in bulk, but even so we’re out long before the next round of sales. So we are always in a state of eager anticipation by the time the girls in green and brown appear in front of the Stop and Shop on Hillside Avenue in New Hyde Park. We don’t even mind their parents shilling the tasty treats at work—as one beleaguered Dad is doing near Umberto’s in New Hyde Park this week.
This year, however, our GS cookie delight was especially special, with local girls featured on boxes of Samoas, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, lemony Savannah Smiles, and newer flavors such as Thank U Berry Much. It’s a privilege to be so honored—and not just for pretty faces: their comments on key Girl Scout themes are featured on the boxes as well. We take pride in our hometown Scouts, and congratulate them on this special honor.
Now, about those calories…
