Girl Scouts Think Maybe You Should Go For Their Low-Cal Cookies




After 81 years spent fattening us up with their many irresistible cookie varieties, the Girl Scout organization is dropping some not-so-subtle hints that perhaps keeping a dozen boxes of Samoas in our locked desk drawer isn’t the healthiest way to make it through the winter. So for the first time they’ll be peddling sugar-free chocolate chip cookies and another low calorie cookie option: Cinna-Spins™. (Pictured.)
Each carton of Cinna-Spins™ will contain five 100 calorie packs of the “crispy cinnamon swirls”, but Fit Sugar warns that not all scouts will have them for sale. Incidentally, has anyone ever bought these things from an actual, verifiable Girl Scout? We've always gotten our hook-up from one of our co-workers. Of course they do have a myspace page, but do these kids actually get out and pound the pavement anymore? Or do Mommy and Daddy do all the legwork these days?
