(I used to be so mad I couldn't get Thin Mints all year round until I realized that I could!) They also make what looks to be other popular GS style flavors as well.
You know that Thin Mints freeze excellently, right? I buy them by the case and throw them in the deep freeze. Plus, having them cold is the best in July.

(and personally I don't think Grasshoppers taste anything like a Thin Mint.)





And AGDee is correct, different Councils sell boxes for different prices, and have different percentages going to the baker/council/troop/individual girl. (And some even offer cookie scholarships to either camp or for college based on sales!)
