Sigh. It's Girl Scout Cookie Season (which sounds a lot like Duck Season... and, really, it might be better for my ever-widening ass if I actually had to go into the wilderness, chase these suckers down, and shoot them, but nooooooooo. They're readily available for little or no effort on my part at all).
I could just not buy any, but you can't look at those adorable little Girl Scouts and say no (this is another one of my clever excuses). I'd have a much easier time avoiding Thin Mints if, say... registered sex offenders sold them. I could totally say no to Registered Sex Offender Cookies. Wouldn't even answer the door for those a-holes.
My biggest problem with Thin Mints (other than buying a huge and ready supply every. damn. year.) is portion control.
Because they're the cookie equivalent of potato chips... or crack.
Wanna know how many cookies are in a serving according to the side of the box? (Get ready for heartbreak.)
FOUR. Not a sleeve, like I previously believed.
Who can stop after FOUR measly Thin Mints? Impossible, I say!
So, knowing that I'm going waaaaaay over the serving amount, I start making little allowances like I can eat the whole sleeve if I'm having them instead of dinner. Who needs vegetables? All I need is a sleeve of Thin Mints and a glass of wine (you know, for my heart).
Sigh.
But before you despair entirely, here's some good news!
Per "serving," there is one entire gram of protein!
And 4% of your daily allowance of Iron!
And zero Trans Fat!
Eat up! It turns out they're good for you!!!
Tis the season. Right?
