- (React) You've never tried any Girl Scout cookies? Ever?
- No. - (React) Do you think you can
analyze the cookies like Gordon? - No.
- (React) Today, we're gonna have you try all the Girl Scout cookies
and rank them... - Yes!
- (React) ...so we can say once and for all which is the best.
- Let's go.
♪ (playful intro) ♪
- (React) So, we are gonna start with arguably the best seller
of all Girl Scout cookies: the Thin Mints.
- Okay. Thin Mints, which are my favorite.
- Minty. - These are the best.
- (React) You're gonna try a whole bunch of other cookies.
Are you so sure that these are gonna beat out the other cookies?
- I don't like it. (chuckles) I have never tried them.
I don't like it. - (React) What do you
not like about it? - It's very dry.
I don't like it. - Mm.
♪ (chimes tinkle) ♪
- (muffled) They're good. They're good.
- (React) When Thin Mints were introduced originally,
they were called Cookie Mints. Do you think Cookie Mint
or Thin Mint is a better name for those?
- Cookie Mint, 'cause it's a cookie with mint.
- (React) Do you think everyone likes mint?
- Mm-hmm. - (React) If I were a stubborn,
like, old lady, and you came up to my door
to sell me a Thin Mint, how would you sell me
that box of cookies? - Hello, sweet old lady,
would you like a Thin Mint? They're really good.
And your breath will smell good.
- (React) Our next one, Samoas, or Caramel deLites,
are a sweet, toasted coconut with dark chocolate cookie
that many argue are the best of the Girl Scout lineup.
- (gasps) Coconut, coconut, coconut!
- It's kind of like a donut. (sniffs) Chocolatey.
- I do not like coconut, so this might be the worst.
There's the coconut.
Oh, that is strong coconut! Oh my god! That is strong.
- Mm-hmm.
- You don't have to eat the whole cookie.
- Mm. - Oh. Okay.
- This is the one I've had before. I like it. It tastes very smooth
and crunchy at the same time.
- A little crunchy. Chocolatey. And good so far.
- (React) So, in-- - Ahh.
Sorry. Continue.
- (React) There are two different bakeries
in the United States that make Girl Scout cookies.
And depending on where you live,
your cookie might have a different name.
- So, the Samosas are from Spain?
- (React) In Los Angeles, we call these Samoas.
But in other parts of the country, even in other parts of California,
they're called Caramel deLites. - What's the other name
for the Thin Mints? - (React) Thin Mints, apparently,
only have one name.
- I am CONFUSED. - Between Samoas and Thin Mints,
I think I like Samoas better, because I LOVE coconut!
- (React) Are you ready for the next one?
- (whispers) Yes.
- (React) So, we are trying the Do-Si-Do,
or peanut butter sandwich cookie. It's two oatmeal cookies
sandwiched around a peanut butter filling.
- Mmm, peanut butter. - Oh, gosh. Oatmeal.
- Peanut butter. - Let's try the oatmeal.
- Ehh, it's okay. It kind of tastes like a cracker
with peanut butter in between. - Tastes peanut buttery.
And that's mainly all I can taste. But then I kind get a hint
of Weetabix somehow? - I don't like it.
- Youthful! - I don't like peanut butter
or oatmeal cookies. - All three of them
are very, very good. But I think I like Do-Si-Dos better.
- Maybe the peanut butter wasn't that good.
- Definitely better than this. Definitely.
- (React) What do you think of people who like that cookie?
What would you say to them? - Just doesn't go all together.
I don't like it. (chuckles) - Better.
- (React) So, the next one is one of the newest Girl Scout cookies.
The aptly named Adventurefuls are a brownie-inspired cookie
made with caramel-flavored cream and a hint of sea salt.
- (chuckles) Sea salt. - I know what sea salt tastes like.
I was on a boat for seven and a half months.
I was a pirate baby. - You know "Brave," the movie?
It looks like the little thing that she makes for her mother.
- Ahh, smells like chocolate.
- Crunchy brownie. - I taste brownie with a bit
of dark chocolate, some peanut butter, and caramel,
which I like.
- I thought it was gonna be softer. - Mmm! Mm.
- (React) You like that one? - Mm-hmm.
- It's an odd taste. I think everything is hardened,
maybe overcooked. - (React) Girl Scouts keeps adding
new cookies to their lineup. If you could add a cookie
to the Girl Scout lineup, what would you add?
- A Flavorful. - (React) How would you sell
the flavorful cookie? ♪ (rim shot) ♪
- One flavor from every single cookie put into one.
- It's caramely. It's super easy to eat.
And it doesn't make THAT much of a mess.
- They are all you need in a cookie. - The whole thing smells
like the best chocolate ever. - The best taste from every single one
of our cookies. You should really try it.
- I think the Girl Scouts should have a cupcake cookie.
- (React) What would be on a cupcake cookie?
- Frosting. (chuckles) - (React) Peanut Butter Patties,
or Tagalongs, are a crispy cookie layered with peanut butter
and covered in chocolatey coating. - Hmm.
Peanut butter, but it also smells like chocolate, like it combined.
- (React) You didn't like the last peanut butter cookie.
- See, at least there's chocolate. - I remember this.
My mother loves these, and I like 'em too.
- I don't like it. - (React) Is it better or worse
than the Do-Si-Do? - Worse. A lot worse.
Too much peanut butter. - The chocolate's soft.
These two are in a battle right now. - Peanut butter on there
with the cookie and the chocolate just melts in your mouth,
it's perfect. - Mmm!
There's a thick layer of it. These are definitely better
than the doo-si-doss. - (React) You can taste the other one
if you need to decide between the two.
- I think this one's better now.
(silence)
- (laughs) The chocolate tastes like peanut butter as well.
- (React) What's the better name for these, Peanut Butter Patties
or Tagalongs? - Peanut Butter Patties.
Peanut Butter Patties.
- (React) Every year, Girl Scouts generate over $900 million
in revenue selling Girl Scout cookies.
- I want to buy it! Yuuummmm!
- That's a lot for cookies. - What?!
Girl Scouts make 900 million selling these?!
I might need to do a cookie hustle on the side.
- Why do they only have seven cookies th--
900 million a year. - This one's going last.
- (React) Okay, let's go to our Trefoils,
or shortbread cookies. These are a classic and traditional
iconic shortbread cookie in the Girl Scout logo shape.
- Ahhh. That makes more sense.
- Ehh. Okay. - Very vanilla.
- I personally don't like shortbread cookies,
so I don't really like that. - It tastes more like a cookie
than any of these. - A lot of these Girl Scout cookies
are really, really good. - This is going second.
- (React) You curious about that last one over there?
- Yes, it's very big. (whispers) And I want to eat it.
- (React) They're called Lemon-Ups. They're a crisp, lemon cookie.
And each one is baked with an inspiring message.
What does yours say? - "I am creative."
- "I am creative." - "I am bold"?
- "I am gutsy"? (mouths) What the?
How is that inspiring?! - (React) I am bold,
so I am strong and powerful. - Oh. I am! That's me!
- I don't like lemon cookies.
- Smells sour.
- The lemon glaze makes it a lot better.
- Mm-mm. Mm-mm. - It's really lemony.
Really good. Now it just says "creative."
- Uwah. Ick. I am not bold. Ugh.
- (React) What's your favorite of the cookies?
- This is the last. - (React) So, that's worse
than the peanut butter ones? - Mm-hmm.
- Best! - (React) The Adventurefuls
are still your favorite? - Mm-hmm.
- (React) All right, now that you've tried
all of the Girl Scout cookies, I'm gonna have you put them in order
of your favorite to your least favorite.
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- Like that. - This is how I feel
about Girl Scout cookies. Samoas are my favorite.
- I'd rate Adventurefuls seven points.
- Tagalongs, I'm gonna give seven points.
- Thin Mints, my favorite. Giving it seven points.
- Lemon-Ups is one point. - Lemon ones are the worst.
Really, really bad, these ones. - Lemon-Ups are really good
with the lemon glaze. So, I'm giving 'em six points.
- Mm-mm. Don't recommend them.
- (React) You don't like the Samoas? - Mm-mm.
- (React) Why?
- Very, like, a bad texture. I think. - Trefoils, I'm giving you two points.
It's a shortbread cookie. I hate shortbread.
- Thank you guys so much for watching.
