Is it just me, or do the boxes seem to get smaller every year? |

they seem to have gotten much more dangerous as well. Caramel Delites have always been my favorite. Now they are on my self imposed banned food list |

I used to be a Boy Scout, but I got kicked out for eating all the Brownies. Sorry... couldn't resist. |

Price goes up too. $4 a box here. Thin Mints for life, just one box a year these days though. |

Which is why we didn't buy any this year. I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my health since I quit eating sweets altogether. |

Thin Mints -- but I have for the most part sworn off sweets, so I haven't ordered them in a while. |

"Caramel Delites"? Ah, looked it up, those are called Samoas out here. I, too, try to limit myself to a couple a day of those. Would be pretty easy to eat a whole box. Those, and Do-Si-Dos (peanut butter sandwiches). |

I know, and take a wide berth around the cookie section. Yes, they are good, yes I've had them, yes they are even better than thin mints some years. |

*sigh* they were outside the grocery store today...I wanted to buy some but restrained myself...sweets don't mix well with diabetes and trying to lose weight...especially when I can and have eaten them by the box in my younger more foolish years. My personal favorites were the shortbread cookies, dunked into chocolate milk. |

Only $3.50 a box here on the east coast. My daughter ended up selling 150 boxes, which is pretty good since, as a Daisy Scout (which is pre-Browny Scout, which is pre-Girl Scout) she is not allowed (because of age) to do canvasing (other than the block she lives on) or in front of store sales. |

What I don't get is why there are regional names... |

For Girl Scout Cookies? To appeal to different regional audiences. Overall, regional names exist because the world was once a much larger place. You are too young to remember a time when distance couldn't be worked around by picking up a telephone and television was only national during prime time. Before national chains, there were only local stores, local restaurants. Mr. Who moves to a new region and brings the old recipes with him, but when he opens his restaurant, he finds he needs to alter things a little, or maybe he wants to brand his stuff with his own name, the What pie becomes the Who pie, and so on. Stealing an idea from when you are traveling and making it back home, you might want to change the name to protect yourself from trademark infringement, or deny you ever saw the original. Then again, occasionally different people come up with the same idea, the odds of them naming it exactly the same are low. Living languages grow and accept new words and names all the time. There isn't a central repository for acceptable nicknames, slang, and so forth. |
