Alice McFlurry 
It’s my favorite time of the year when I buy a couple of boxes of Thin Mints from about ten different Girl Scouts so they won’t know how many Thin Mints I’m actually eating.
smells of bikes@Alice and a computer at 420 5th avenue (no seriously) NYC NY pops up a little alert and hordes of other girl scouts start your way.
Shawn Harder@Alice It’s really convenient how each box contains two single-serving size tubes.
jimbodon@Alice oh they got records. :)
Nerd That Talks Good@jbonewald @alice yeah. You’re on a list.
Real_JamesCain@Alice You need shell companies to consolidate your import business.
wellactually@Alice - as a former GS leader, yes, please buy the cookies BUT, please also take 1 of your $5 bills and just donate it to a scout troop. The girls only get around .70 a box but they get 100% of pure donations. They are not allowed to ask, but you are allowed to give.
The girls use this money for GS camps, trips, and to pay for service projects.

@wellactually this is just a joke post and I’m not really buying twenty boxes of cookies, but I do typically buy two boxes of Thin Mints and just give the Girl Scout a twenty dollar bill and call it a day.
@Alice - perfect!! I bet the girls are so appreciative.
ceartasI always tell them that my doctor thinks I’m getting enough to eat. Then I hand them cash.
Itwasntme@Alice So you’re not Vector?
Glen Downton@Alice Diversification is the cornerstone of any good investment strategy!
@GlenDownton That’s a good point. I could probably find a couple of additional Girl Scouts to buy some Samoas from in order to diversify my portfolio.
Oli@Alice this is the first time I see a post about not being tracked by cookies by using real cookies. 😁
Harish Narayanan@Alice This is my father’s approach to portion sizes in general.
Michael@Alice Sounds more like you ordered exactly the right amount. 😊
Max Leibman has moved!@Alice Them: Serving size: 2.
Me: That’s absurd. Who eats just two boxes of these?
Word of Mouth @Alice Thin Mints?!? Really?!?
Heheh JK but I'm a Do-si-do-er myself. Love me that peanut butter goodness. I'll eat an entire sleeve to my face in one sitting.

John Maxwell@Alice - You're not fooling anyone, you know. They know; we know.
timoth‽@Alice You also need to keep the majority of the stash hidden from the family, with just one partial box in the kitchen as a decoy, a.k.a. “dummy thin.”
David Cohen@Alice I expect Big Thin Mint mines all of the aggregate data, and the Girl Scouts plan their rounds based on it. That’s why they call you “The Mintherlode”
