🔺 Each year between January and April, the Girl Scouts offer cookies for sale

🔺 The best-selling variety of all-time is Thin Mints

Each year at this time I’m tasked with an assignment that takes a full weekend.

I’m responsible for acquiring samples of each Girl Scout cookie package.

Under the watchful eyes of Franklin and Rocky (my Girl Scout cookie-loving, four-legged sidekicks), I sample each and compile my official ratings.

This year, I bought my samples from a troop outside Shoprite in Absecon and the Shoprite at English Creek.

We made our purchasing while undercover, in order to preserve the integrity of our mission.

It was a difficult assignment, but I do my best work under pressure.
