I bought some cookies for the second time yesterday.  They were setup as you leave the Publix store.  They use some unfair sales tactics though. The store has boxes of cookies on the shelf, easy to walk by and ignore them.  The GS use tough tactics you cannot ignore.

The Girl Scouts have some cute little girl accosts you as you leave, look you straight in the eye and says, "would you like to buy some cookies?"  What can a guy do?

They have a new flavor this year, Adventureful. It is a chocolate/ caramel thing.  It was OK, but not my favorite.  I do like the Trefoil, they go sell with a cup of tea for an afternoon snack.

  Dang. I don't think grown men should be talking about their attraction to pubescent girls. We will have to change your name to Hubert.
 

WTF, Dave?  He's talking about buying cookies, not looking to hook up with children.

I don't really care much for Girl Scout cookies and I am averse to supporting them and their woke policies.

The term "woke" is purely political.

I don't know about other countries but here in Canada younger category of girls scouts/guides was Brownies.

Brownies are based in Scottish culture.  The term relates to fairies and there is nothing racial about it.  And no, the term fairies (aka "faeries") does not in any way relate to people who are gay.  There's nothing derogatory.  Don't know why you jumped to racist blather.  Ed is talking about buying cookies.
