I made it to the end! I like dreads. And sweet pickles. And sweet popcorn. And Crocs.
I was onboard...
Then you lost me.
I have never owned the classic clog ones but I have their Kadee flat which is cute IMO. I wore them pregnant when my feet didn't fit my other shoes and I haven't been able to break the love lol.
Can I just say I am SO HAPPY to see them called Caramel Delights?! I had to learn all new Girl Scout cookie names when I moved up north (trefoil? wtf? that's shortbread). Why are they different?
I always thought it was different in different regions based on who makes them. GSC are made by 2 different bakeries. I know one is the same Keebler uses which is why you can get thin mints (grasshopper) and Caramel Delites (Samoas.. aka coconut dreams) in the grocery store all year long!
I grew up in MA and we had Caramel Delights and Shortbread etc. My friend in college was from northern MA near the NH border and called them Samoas, Trefoils, etc.
CT is Samoas and Trefoils. I wonder why MA is different?
They use two different bakers and each one has their own name for their cookie. It's dumb.

There are two different bakeries that make the cookies so there are different names. I don't think it is necessarily a difference among states so much that it depends where individual troops decide to get their boxes from (though it makes sense the troops in similar areas go with the same distributor). I grew up south of Boston and had Samoas and Trefoils.

yep and at a cheaper price point
Girl Scout cookies are stupid expensive. I get that a portion goes to support the troup but not that much to justify the price.

This thread was worth the read to have this question answered.
This is from the Girl Scouts' website:
Each Girl Scout council chooses a licensed baker, either ABC Bakers or Little Brownie Bakers. Each baker uses different names for its cookies. So a cookie may be called Trefoils when baked by one baker and Shortbread when baked by the other. The two cookies look and taste similar, but the name of the cookie and the recipe are dependent on the baker. The exception is Thin Mints, which is the name both bakers use to describe their chocolate-mint cookie.

Same here but we had the other bakery. Weird.
I learned this year that every troop sets their own price so I am sure they can also choose which distributor to get their cookies from.
ETA: lilsneezy Beat me to it and went right to the source!
But +1 for the Keebler versions that are cheaper and around all of the time! I also just noticed Stop & Shop has their own store brand version of GS cookies!
♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪ I told DH I wanted some of those Skechers because they look SO COMFY and he laughed at me
Laugh back at him after telling him that I confirmed that they are THE BEST EVARRR. If I had a job where I was on my feet a lot and needed comfort shoes (I think of nurses, for example), I'd have multiple pairs.

. Yep, hence the different wrappers for thin mints. One is clear, one is metallic. I had a coworker who would only eat one of the types (don't remember which) because she had an aversion to red coloring or something, and only one of the factories doesn't use it. I have no idea if that is "true" but it was the first time I noticed different packaging.

Um, ok. It is definitely happening. I just passed my nursing boards. I spent my 16 months of nursing school in Dansko clogs because everyone raved about them being the perfect shoe for nursing but after 6 hours they really started bother my feet. I am totally sold on these now

I have had Crocs, so I understand that whole thing (still laugh at how ugly they are, though). I like the GOWalks because it feels like they support my ankles better. I don't get sore as fast in them as I do Crocs. Also, it looks like Skechers has a huge selection including ones like this and tennis shoe styles.
