When I first saw this thread in the "New Threads" section of the home page the title was abbreviate to, "Best Currently Available Girl..." and thought this would be a discussion about single ladies in Hollywood.
Needless to say, this is not what I was expecting. *shrug*
As for the topic at hand, thin mints.

I agree that thin mints are highly over rated. The tagalongs used to be my go-to choice until I started paying for them. You open the package and have a couple, next thing you know you're scheming to blame the disappearance on your children. The trefoils are my favorite, I don't like the overly sweet cookies anymore. The new lemon cookie is also a favorite, because my kids won't eat them. Vote goes to Trefoils.

My daughter is a Girl Scout, so I am now exbert on this topic. There have been more cookies through my house in the past month than an LA bordello. Also, I am a certified choco-holic. For many years I thought thin mints and samoas were the only acceptable answers. How naive I was.
There is only one acceptable answer, and it is SAVANNAH SMILES!

I have successfully avoided my annual purchasing of 5 boxes of every kinds for the last few years because I now work from home. I think that ends soon as my niece is almost at that age. I have to say that doesn't make me sad.

I should be hanging out in more LA bordellos if only for the cookies, I guess.
Savannah Smiles had a lot of potential. Unfortunately Girl Scouts thinks their customers are pussies who can't handle the taste of a real lemon cookie and therefore dial it back about 14 notches to create a bland lemon-ish cookie.

Holy...
All we get up here is mint in the Fall, and a vanilla & chocolate combined box in the Spring. You guys get a freakin' choice?!? Bloody hell...

Sure we get lots of choices, but we pay more per capita for Girl Scout cookies than any other country in the world and the prices are only going up. We must stop this Girl Scout cookie death spiral.

FWIW, I bought these the other day. I wasn't directly trying to undercut the girl scouts, but at half the price and (more importantly) with year-long availability, it's an option worth considering.
After reading this, all I thought about is you throwing the cookies on the ground and shouting "I'm not part of your system..."

My all-time favorite was the former style of thin mints: a thin vanilla cookie topped with mint creme and enrobed in chocolate. That was a fabulous cookie. I've eaten exactly ONE of the current "faux thin mints" and will probably never eat another. They're like a cheap-o version of the original. These days I buy a box of Samoas, maybe two, if I stumble across a GSSC (Girl Scout Selling Cookies). I'd like to try a Thanks-a-lot (shortbread and chocolate FTW) but haven't seen any around here.
Everywhere I go people tell me, "Guy, what is wrong with you? Thin mints are nothing special. You can get them year round." I presume they're referring to E.L. Fudge Grasshopers. More like LOL Fudge Grasshoppers because those things ain't shit compared to legit Thin Mints.
So what is the best Thin Mint replacement cookie on the market today?

Not sure, but I agree that Grasshoppers aren't it.
Those Coconut Dream, on the other hand, are pretty close/decent.

Pepperidge Farms Brussels. Dark chocolate, crispy texture, no nasty taste of mint.
GFY.

This is why you buy 6 boxes and say they are for the office.

Hypothetically, if you where to make a set of ceramics using images of girl scout cookies, which cookie would you use for each denomination?
"Tagolongs" sounds like a slang term for things that get stuck between your toes, or toilet paper stuck on the soles of your shoes. Not appetizing...

Man, I love me some Milanos. And Chessmen.
I'm worried for you Eliott. You have the same taste in cookies as the uptight New Englanders in a John Irving novel.

"The World According to Goph"?
In The World According to Goph everything is made of wheat and wholemeal and tastes like cardboard and we can only have tea - no coffee - but we're bred strong and sturdy here so the family line carries on.

Agree, the best China Clays by far. Not familiar with the Chessmen though, is that a custom set??
