aha. I found this online...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caramel_deLites
Samoas or Caramel deLites: These consist of a circular vanilla cookie about 2inch in diameter with a small hole in the center, covered in caramel and toasted coconut and then striped with chocolate. This is one of the only cookies in the group that has differences depending on the bakery. The reason there are two names is because while similar, the cookies have some differences. Samoas are circular, with an orange colour and are thicker from top to bottom, usually they also contain more caramel per coconut. While, the Caramel deLites are actually hexagonal, with a more yellowish tinge, and a more of the biscuit comes through in the flavour because of the lower caramel content. Overall they are both very popular, and most people never notice the differences.
Yay, I'm so glad it wasn't a stupid PC thing...hahahaha...I don't remember where I first saw the cookies and they were called caramel delites...but, I'm glad now to know they're actually slightly different. And, I'm not going crazy that there are actually two names. :)
I don't know any girl scouts this year so I guess I'll have to make a trip to the mall :)
My favs are the animal cookies that are dipped in chocolate on the backs. Yum! I try to only get 2 boxes a year though. And try to just eat one box and keep a box in the freezer for as long as possible. LOL Hard to do though! :D
I really need to get myself some girl scout cookies, they are so delicious! :D My favs are peanut butter sandwich and thin mints. The low fat lemons are not too bad either.

The girl scouts themselves don't...but, the organization has bakeries and that's where they're made. But, yeah, the girl scouts themselves sell the cookies. :)Quote:

From our period in the USA ('83), I still remember those delicious cookies! Our friends daughter Erica was a girl scout and was proud she sold cookies to somebody all the way from Belgium!!
Oh no.... I want Girl Scout cookies http://users.pandora.be/bernardgabri...3%20crying.gif , NOW !!!!!!!!!!
Thats weird that every state has different names for cookies and/or different cookies liike I have never seen the animal cookies dipped in chocolate and when we are selling them some people ask for them and I've heard of them. Over here in AZ we have Samoas, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Cafe Cookies, Do-si-dos, Lemon Coolers, and Trefoils.
Caramel deLights! :D I like all of the rest too but I hate thin mints
:) In fact just bought a box over the weekend of my favorite Thin Mints..
:( I had my last box of girl guide cookies all wrapped up in the back of my closet, now they are all gone!!! :(
Why did I click on this thread. :eek:
My favorites are Samoas and Lemon Coolers. I LOVE Samoas. I don't think a girl scout cookie can beat them.
I am a volunteer for girl scouts and I love the thin mints..:D I am going to buy a couple boxes this week. :)
I had a box of those Amazing Tagalongs! They were Amazing to but there is no more! What to do??? :D
