| Girl Guides Cookies
It's been quite a while since I've had some and I've got a craving for some Samoa's and Thin Mints!
Do they have them here in Canada? Last time I've had them was when I was in the US...I haven't seen any girl guides standing in front of grocery stores selling them lately.

I just realized after looking at the website that the Canadian Girl Guides cookies are different to the ones they sell in the US...now I'm just disappointed. I'm going to have to make the drive down to the US just to get some now.  | |

Quoted from the website
Girl Guide cookies are available twice a year - the chocolatey mint cookies are available every fall (October to December) and the classic chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies are available every spring (from approximately March to June).
