I love the smell of coconut & anything that has the FLAVOR of coconut, but if it has ACTUAL coconut on/in it, barf! <br /><br />But Samoas are tolerable and I'm sure it has alot to do with all that chocolate & caramel.Jessica LaTourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03951588891488243809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961259802208415232.post-8423588725298128962010-03-12T01:27:02.600-07:002010-03-12T01:27:02.600-07:00Frozen IS yummy!

I used to hate onions as much as the next girl (and by that I mean my college roommates :) )... but in the last couple of years I have started to like them quite a lot IF they're cooked really well. I now cook with them all the time. It's crazy. (Still don't like them raw.)<br />Of course, I always liked coconut... Glad to hear you're coming around to it! :)Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237595362118713178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961259802208415232.post-67322817635122389672010-03-11T11:00:51.930-07:002010-03-11T11:00:51.930-07:00My dear sweet Lori welcome to the dark side :) Je...My dear sweet Lori welcome to the dark side :) Jeremy wants me to mention I have plenty of those sinful things sitting in the other roomChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010585732798499220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961259802208415232.post-35190654378195406402010-03-11T10:12:21.388-07:002010-03-11T10:12:21.388-07:00Ok... so I laughed out loud at the "But that&...Ok... so I laughed out loud at the "But that's because you don't like coconut" because I had TOTALLY forgotten about that... and it really made my day! <br />Can we go back to college for a while?

I have had three major taste awakenings in my life... things I hated and now love... Clam chowder, sour cream and bell peppers... your taste buds do change... as they die you can tolerate more foods!

Up to this point I had always referred to them as Coconut Yuckies (or some other equally mean name). I checked in to the Samoa v. Caramel delite debate and discovered the there are two distributors for Girl Scout Cookies. One distributor calls them Samoas and the other calls them Caramel delites. There is more info here: http://andrewsinclair.org/archive/samoas_v_caramel_delites.htm <br /><br />But maybe I'll just start calling them "The Cookie Formerly Known As Coconut Yucky."Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612681279996237855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961259802208415232.post-50912086116429681902010-03-10T19:34:53.450-07:002010-03-10T19:34:53.450-07:00Im glad you've discovered the wonderfulness of...Im glad you've discovered the wonderfulness of Samoas! <br />I brought a few to school with me for a snack today, and my students were overjoyed to find out that I had the same snack as three of them did.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10403045366472733414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961259802208415232.post-19165116352202187372010-03-10T18:50:25.786-07:002010-03-10T18:50:25.786-07:00I love coconut, but that's really beside the p...I love coconut, but that's really beside the point, which is that I REALLY love Somoas. Once when Matt and I were in college one of the Marine's in ROTC was selling girl scout cookies for his daughter. Matt told me he'd ordered a box of thin mints and some peanut butter something or other and I was like "WHAT ABOUT THE SAMOAS!?!?!" and then proceeded to have a total fit. <br /><br />A few weeks later the cookies arrived and Matt was told that in addition to his original order he had like 8 boxes of Samoas to pay for. Apparently the marine had heard my hissy fit and proceeded to order the cookies on Matt's behalf, knowing full well that Matt would pay for them all rather than endure another of my temper tantrums.

And lest you offend, to be PC you must now call them Caramel DeLites so you don't upset any Samoans.
