I was pleasantly surprised to pass a group of cookie sellers (one kid- and lots of competitive mothers) outside of the local Blockbuster.
While walking around Blockbuster… kinda paying attention to the New Release Wall… I debated if I would indulge in Docie-Does or Tagalongs this year….I checked out my movies….found out I have about 5 seconds to watch and return the movies before being charge with late fees… then… ALAS… it was time to purchase the coveted cookies.
With three dollars in hand, I ask for one box of Tagalongs. The kid looked at me like I was an idiot…..
“WhUt”? I sheepishly pointed toward the familiar red box….you know, the one with ever other race (other than Caucasian) represented on the box? ”You mean them Peh’NUUt bUtteAr PattEs?”…..’sure’
So now I sit…alarmed… concerned… agitated… a little nauseous from already eating so many of the PEANUT-BUTTER PATTIES. How unoriginal can The Girls Scouts of America be?
Trefoils now Short Bread Cookies?
Docie-Does now Peanut-butter Sandwiches?
Tagalongs now Peanut-butter Patties?
Samoas now Caramel Delights?
NOT cool Girl Scouts of America. Next time you decide make another PR move please considder hireing someone other than an accountant to RE-NAME your COOKIES.
geeze.

Let me clarify -
“I sheepishly pointed toward the familiar red box….you know, the one with ever other race (other than Caucasian) represented on the box?”
…this was not meant as a racial slur… it was simply an observation.
After more extensive research, I noticed there is indeed every race represented on the box…INCLUDING Caucasian.
It’s OK! Personally, I liked them better withOUT the Caucasian! Readers can take MY comment how they want………
