Ultimate GIRL SCOUT Cookie & Dupe Taste Test - 27 Boxes! -- ABC vs. Little Brownie Bakers

My husband calls Girl Scouts his "dealers" LOL. He can't resist buying a box, or 4, of Thin Mints when he sees Girl Scouts......

I worked in a private label food manufacturing facility. At the lower end stores, your Dollar Trees, etc. you are gonna find they are the same basic cookie. Perhaps a few very minor tweaks to the recipe or sometimes no tweaks. The cookie is mixed and baked and the only thing changing is the film to wrap the cookies and/or the box (Basically, just the packaging is different). The more expensive ones, Great Value, Kroger, etc) you will find they are very much like the name brand. A team of food scientists spent time and money reverse-engineering the recipe after countless lab tests and taste tests. You will get higher quality chocolate/real chocolate (watch out for the phrase - chocolate-flavored - that means there is not enough actual chocolate to advertise it as a such) better vanilla, etc. The recipes may also have more tweaks to make them slightly more individualized for the customer without getting too far from the name brand flavor. They are basically the name brand without the price. Why are they cheaper? Because you are paying for the advertising for the name brand. Remember, someone has to pay the person who animates the elves. When was the last time you saw a commercial just for a Great Value cookie? Never! The cookie may make an appearance in a commercial for Wal-Mart but it is not a commercial for the cookie. Wal-Mart advertises its stores as a total entity.

My whole life my dad would stick Thin Mints in the freezer and I can’t eat them any other way. They’re so much better cold!

After hearing hello fresh so many times in a row it starts sounding like hella fresh.

My daughter’s friend was selling GS cookies and we bought a buttload of them. When I was younger and lived in a different part of the state, our GS cookies were from Little Brownie Bakers. However, now our area is an ABC Bakery area, apparently. Samoas/Caramel deLites are my favorites but the Samoas taste better to me than the Caramel deLites. This whole video was fascinating to me. Thanks for tasting and analyzing all 8274875326785367 cookies for us! lol

Ever since I found out the cookies were different depending on where you live, I've wondered what the differences were. Thank you for testing it out!

I always find myself rewatching emmy vids when I need to calm down and relax.

Imagine coming into the kitchen and your mom just taste test 27 boxes of cookies! 😁

When I was a kid, the thin mint cookie was a chocolate cookie with a white layer of mint on top, similar to York peppermint patty filling. The entire cookie was then covered in chocolate. The mint flavor was only in the white layer. You could actually lick the mint layer off the cookie! It was so good.

Girl Scouts: “This means war”

Emmy's kid: Mom can I have a cookie? Emmy: No! This is for science! Scoot!!

The Great Value brand Samoas and Thin Mints are delicious. Walmart did an excellent job with their knockoffs. And the price is insane.

Fruit loops and Fruity Pebbles are lemon lime cereals! I found this out when I got curious about the flavor of Captain Crunch Berries(which is strawberry FYI!). Listed in the ingredients of Fruit Loops and Fruity Pebbles, it has “citrus flavoring”.

My daughter is a Spark (5-7 year old age group in Girl Guides of Canada) and I'm so proud of her. I don't think Girl Guide cookies are as good or as varied as Girl Scout cookies but I'm so happy to be a parent of a little girl continuing this long long tradition of a community of smart, strong girls.

I went to the scouts when I was a child, but i come from Switzerland and here when we sold cookies we always made them ourselves, we also distributed self made bread on Sundays sometimes. It's interesting to see the differences of scouts in different countries. Also we only baked cookies once a year, around Christmas. We sold them on the market, we didn't go from house to house.

When I was a girlscout we sold from LBB, but I feel lucky to live in a place with ABC bakers because they have several vegan options! My favourites are the thanks-a-lots, though my local girlscout troupe told me theyre being discontinued this year 😔

I bought a box of lemon ups this year and didn’t realize they were different from lemonades. I was so disappointed once I realized it because the lemonade icing is so perfect in the lemonades

The most important thing that I learned from my bestie, the girl scout, was that LBB uses the same peanut butter as Reese's in their Tagalongs. Which are my FAVORITE
