Cant all that be achieved in English ???
Ole...
Well, um, Candy of Milk sounds stupid and is not a flavor I’d buy.
Dulce de leche, on the other hand, is something Texans are familiar with and would probably like.
Marketing, marketing, marketing. I advise a better reason to get one’s unmentionables in a bunch.
Sounds delicious. I love Dulce de Leche. I’ll have to get two or three boxes.
“Cant all that be achieved in English ???”
Is there something wrong wih learning another language? The U.S. is generally way, way, way behind other civilized countries, where kids start learning English at a very young age.
I love Dulce de Leche, and might even buy a box of those cookies to try them out.
I don't object to the Girl Scouts or their cookies;but to pretend the kids really do the selling is contrary to my experience.Cookies,garden seeds,magazines,candy bars,greeting cards, are all peddled from brochures by doting parents,and we fellow workers buy the stuff to get along.
I really wish we didn't have so much regulation that prohibits young people from actually earning money .
Psssst. Over here!
As long as they don’t get rid of “Thin Mints” and “Samoas” to make room for this other stuff.
Living 6 miles from the Mexican border I get the opportunity to buy cookies from Mexico and I can say that a lot of them are addictive and better then the ones we get here. I don’t care if there is crack in them, they are good.
Talk about hyperinflation.
I remember when they were $2 a box. Weren't they only $3 last year?
And let's not forget that the Girl Scouts have turned into a leftist organization.
Yeah, I’ll have some of them Horace cookies...you know, the “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori” ones.
dulce de leche means candy of milk?
I once saw a girl wearing a very tight T shirt with dulce de leche printed large right across her breasts and I asked her why she had italian for “two of milk” on her boobs.
She got mad and said it doesn’t mean “two of milk”, it means “very sweet”.
I just laughed at her and said, “no, it doesn’t”. But apparently, I had it wrong too.
God forbid we’d eat food that doesn’t have an english name.
I think it’s italian, not spanish. And It’s a very popular ice cream flavor.
I wish Spanish had been offered back when I was in school (the 70’s).
German (what little I retained) helps me personally very little. Even here in PA Dutch country.
If these girls learn a second language through the Scouting program, good on ‘em!
One cookie, one sign, one hero, one tradition till you wake up one day and wonder where all our culture and heritage went.
Give me your Thin Mints, your Samoas,
Your Do-si-dos yearning to be eaten,
The Dulce de Leche of your teeming shore.
Send these, the Tagalongs, milk-dunk to me,
I lift my plate beside the pantry door!
I hope their sales drop to zero!!!
Their cookies have always been over priced garbage but this is the last straw.
It’s very sad. We used to enjoy the culture of our Mexican neighbor before our government allowed us to be invaded and exploited. Fences make good neighbors.
