Girl Scout Cookies
It’s Girl Scout Cookie season. We’ve already ordered a batch of cookies from my co-worker and from an old neighbor visiting the area. Of course, they were selling them for their daughters. This article calls the whole enterprise “stressful.” I may not call it that but it’s so hard saying “no” that we may end up with a cupboard full of Samoas, Thin Mints, Lemon Coolers and Tagalongs.
I’m sure that last one, Tagalongs, caught the attention of you Pinoys out there. Sounds too much like Tagalog, no?* These bestsellers are chocolate-covered peanut butter cookies. Um, yeah, light brown on the inside and dark brown on the outside. Ehe.

Ah, yeah I heard about those type cookies! Caused quite a stir from where I learned about them, saying the Filipinos are also ‘brown on the outside but white on the inside,’ implying our americanized nature.
