I'm mildly interested
CasualFridayHandjob
I KNEW IT! MY MOTHER SAID I WAS CRAZY! I KNEW THOSE DAMN SAMOAS CHANGED! THEY WERE DIFFERENT ALL ALONG! Still they're fucking delicious tho.
Seollal
This explains why my memories do not match what I'm finding in the box
WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire
When I was a kid, I used to fucking love Thin Mints, then I moved up north, and never liked them. Now I know why.
Subprimal
There are TWO kinds of thin mints?! No wonder! I love the crunchy abc mints. Gotta try the others now
JustAMinnesotaImguy
I've been over here gorging myself on the slender thinmints when I could have those gorgeous voluptuous ones like 20 miles away? I'll drive
CountTyroneRugen
Oh my gosh. This is why they were different in college! Everyone thought I was lying. WHOS LYING NOW
catFarm
OMG I never realized that the Dallas thin mints were different but I have always felt underwhelmed by the Austin ones and now I know why!
catFarm
I feel like the girl scouts have been gaslighting me all these years.
Myceno
I 100% just assumed they changed the name from Samoas to Caramel deLites for some PC reason. TIL
PianoMan2112
This is THE most important post I've ever seen; I moved from green to yellow; fuck these local cookies!
ChineseFood142
I will send you a box of green cookies of your choice in exchange for lemonades.
donotbeafraid
Oh man thanks for this, I thought I was going crazy when the thin mints I had recently looked different.
Nudecastle
Thank you for this valuable information.
MoonbuttTheGreat
The hell is up with crunchy thin mints?! They're not thin mints if they're not coated in chocolate. How do you even freeze the crunchy ones?
thirdcoast
Hear ye, hear ye! ABC Baker area here, willing to trade whatever for a mixed case of Samoas and Savannah Smiles. Not kidding. Message me
BurgundyBurrito
Tagalongs are the greatest
Chocotaku
I concur, though apparently not many other people do.
korvazor
I was in girl scouts in MS, when we moved to SC I was constantly wondering WTF a samoa was for years.
Cheomesh
Meanwhile here in MD they were my favorite for the longest time

Here's a civil war worth getting involved with.

JerfyMcGriddles
Well to be fair, those of us in Yellow zones are getting straight fucked.
ihavetwosnakes
No wonder Caramel Delites taste so inferior to the cookies of my past. I'm in the wrong place!
korvazor
its funny, I'm the opposite way. Grew up with caramel delights, samoas just don't taste right to me.
thesixthcourier
Same, grew up in an ABC area, moved to a LBB area and was like "IS THERE EVEN MINT IN THIS THIN MINT??"
deciumwarrior
My area switched bakeries like halfway through my run of girlscouts. It was horrifying.
realrealluckless
So you're saying I should move to a community along the Canadian border near state lines where they switch, and get THREE sources?

"Slightly different"? Some of those aren't even in the same category.
blumpkins4everyone
as someone who has lived on both sides of the line near Rochester, it all makes sense now
JerfyMcGriddles
Hey I used to live near Gates for about a year.
blumpkins4everyone
Grew up in Fairport!
EwokDude
I live near Minneapolis, but we have the Little Brownie Bakers options and have since I was a kid.
wolfmarsh
SC is wrong as well.
Theoj05
Yep. This map is incorrect
TheWanderer22
Wisconsin here and I'm with ya
itsthefinalschnauzer
This was from 2 years ago, so they might have changed. Alfredo: http://graphics.latimes.com/girl-scout-cookies/
EwokDude
Again, this has been the case for at least 30 years.
hineyruler
Same with NC
Theoj05
This must not be entirely accurate. Minneapolis weighing in. I've definitely had the green type...
NoOneFromNowhereWithNothingToSay
Yep yep
weHaveJustAgreedYouAreNOTOrcs
East Iowa is off too
Nightbladecluthu
Can confirm we have ABC
grumpypionus
I have a shit ton of these in my living room. Who wants to buy some? Anyone? Pleaseeeee. They always give us 100 boxes and we sell about...6
Danielleosaur
Which bakery do you have?
grumpypionus
ABC Bakery apparently although we're in WI.
grumpypionus
Apparently I should read the map more carefully.
NZSheeps
Asking the important question...
Danielleosaur
I'm actually really dissapointed they didn't answer. I need some Little Brownie bakers cookies. I'm in Rochester...I'm so close Dammit!
donotbeafraid
Hooooooow do they determine which bakery is sold where? The division in the map doesn't make any regional sense, it's all over the place.
JerfyMcGriddles
ABC seems heavily metropolitan-based, so I'm assuming it's based on what price point they can offer G.S. based largely on logistics costs.
donotbeafraid
Perhaps...that's an idea. But LBB is in LA, Chicago and NY. And there's a line right b/w Fort Worth and Dallas? Idk!
donotbeafraid
Feels like it is just arbitrary brand allegiance. So maybe just has to do with supplier relations? I'll keep looking on the internet!
JerfyMcGriddles
Not all logistics companies deliver to all locations equally. And I'm assuming there's a bidding process as well; Given LBB has a bigger 1/2
JerfyMcGriddles
total market share, I'm guessing they probably expend a little extra to make sure they keep the prime markets like NYC, LA and Chicago 2/2
redbullvodka
Fuck that ABC shit.
TrundleTheGr8
Their "thin mint" looks like ass
thesixthcourier
The ABC names are so literal, after I move into a LBB zone I was so confused by the order sheet.
saintofchaoticgood
I was wondering what the fuck was going on when my cousin sent her kids order sheet out. Like when did they change the names?
Blakfyre77
ABC can go suck a cock with that "Peanut butter sandwich" bullshit. THEY'RE DO-SI-DOS MOTHERFUCKER.
whatupmyknitters
the s'mores look better than the LBB ones though. (but i haven't tried either yet. just bought a box today.)
gorgosaurusrex
But Lemonade are the BEST COOKIE EVER (subjectively)
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
They made one good cookie out of like a dozen types...
whatupmyknitters
i dunno, have you had savannah smiles? i discovered those the year before last and ate like three boxes in two weeks.... ish.
mallywanders
I would be willing to try that one. I love lemon cookies.
XanaxWarriorPrincess
They look and sound good. I wasn't impressed with the Savannah Smiles.
Nccoffee
All I know is if I got one of those left thin mints they're a gonna be hell to pay
genericusernamehere12
*there
Nccoffee
*there's
GothmogLordofBalrogs
The left ones are better in my opinion.
playthatrecordbackwards
I get both, I live in Iowa almost right on the dividing line
PotatoGunnaPotate
Agreed! I was thinking the same thing!!
frosty147
This must've changed, because I live in the ABC zone and I definitely remember eating the right thin mints.
TransistorRadio
You can also tell the difference because one version comes in clear plastic packages, the other company's are in silver foil-looking ones
Cheomesh
I've had them (I'm in the zone with the ones you like) and they're pretty good.
frosty147
This must've changed, because I live in the ABC zone and I definitely remember eating the right thin mints.
xkels
I live in the LIttle Brownie Bakers zone and I definitely remember eating/selling some cookies on the ABC side. I wonder when it changed?
Fuzzgoat
The "things" on the left aren't Thin Mints.
UncleTopher
Yes they are, the "things" on the right are impostors!
Fuzzgoat
The only people who believe that are those who haven't had the far superior and real Thin Mints shown on the right.
Nccoffee
They're lies covered in chocolate
Fuzzgoat
No joke, goddamn abominations
comeandtakeit
ALL I KNOW IS LEFT THIN MINTS!! THE HELL?!?! I WANT RIGHT ONES!!!
internity
Tell them you want the right mints

IT'S BERENSTAIN BEARS ALLOVER AGAIN!
PlanetExpress5tockholder
I don't get this reference. Care to elaborate?
Bdzzp1
I don't think anybody did. I think if you google Berenstein bears parallel universe you'll get it.
lottahullabaloo
Samoas are pure heaven
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Big Lots has them with chocolate cookie for like $1.50 a box.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Dollar General too.
phonedog365
Have to say I've always been a caramel delight man. Freeze 'em and enjoy singly. Lasts longer.
SomeDetroitGuy
They are fucking amazing
LadyAyami
I've been telling my friend (a gs leader) to get me Carmel delights.. she's like there sommas now.. no..There f*:king carmel delites!
