Jet Set Restaurant Reading, Pennsylvania Menus!: This Is What It's Like To Eat Only Girl Scout Cookie-Flavored Foods For 72 Hours I tried to eat Girl Scout Cookies for three days straight. It was not pretty. Anna Hoychuk / Via shutterstock.com Girl Scout Cookies are mostly famous for being a rare treat, like a 17-year-cicada of sugar that bursts forth from the ground and finds itself suddenly flooding our office kitchens, dorms, and front doorsteps. Friendships are made and broken through the sharing (or not sharing) of cookies. It is the only time of year when you can tell everyone that you personally know a 7-year-old girl, and it will make you very cool and not at all creepy. But what is it about these delicious flavors that makes us all collectively lose our shit at once every Girl Scout Cookie season, consuming them en masse with ravenous devotion, and willing to overpay for baked goods that are gone far too soon? If it were possible, would we eat Girl Scout Cookies all the time? I decided to find out. For 72 hours straight, I attempted to eat nothing but Girl Scout Cookies or Girl Scout Cookie-flavored things. For this project, I was given a box each of Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils, and Savannah Smiles. Tagalongs were not available, presumably because everyone knows that Tagalongs are the best. Here was the rule, as there was only one: Every bite of food I take must be accompanied by Girl Scout Cookies, no matter how badly the two go together. This includes salad, vegetables, and tears. Water is exempted, because if I die from dehydration that will make finishing this post very complicated. So, this is what it was like to eat Girl Scout Cookies for 72 hours straight, which is something you've always wanted to do but should never do because it's very dangerous. Seriously. Please don't do it. 9:00 a.m.: "This is a stupid idea," my boyfriend says. "This is a stupid, stupid, stupid idea, and you will hate both food and Girl Scout Cookies afterwards." 9:20 a.m.: I have two Samoas in the car, see how much fat is in them — 8 grams for two cookies — and then briefly consider backing out of this whole thing. There is a very real chance that I could gain 2 pounds in three days. But then I have two Thin Mints and a Trefoil and they're pretty good, so I stop caring. 9:30 a.m.: For actual breakfast, I decide to have cheese and hummus and pretzels sprinkled with Thin Mints. As I prepare this in the BuzzFeed kitchen, there is no shortage of uncomfortable frowns and furrowed brows. Kristin Chirico View Entire List ›
