We buy these things up like crazy. Since 1999, young ladies and their mothers (and yes, lots of dads) have sold over $800 million in cookies. Of the millions of boxes sold every year, the most current breakdown of sales showing the popularity of each delicious variety looks like this:

1.Thin Mints
2. Samoas (Caramel deLites)
3. Tagalongs (Peanut Butter Patties)
4. Do-si-dos (Peanut Butter Sandwiches)
5. Trefoils (Shortbread)
6. Other Varieties

And some of us just love them all.
