The season that everyone has been desperately waiting for is finally here: Girl Scout Cookie season. Those who sing about Christmastime as the most wonderful time of the year clearly have never experienced the joy that comes with taking a bite out of a heavenly Samoa, Thin Mint or Tagalong. Although we claim to hate when sweet girls in a teal vest come knocking on our door in mid-February because it drains our wallets and fills our stomachs, it is secretly the sweetest sound in the world to hear “Girl Scout Cookies for sale!” The only other thing that can bring one so much joy is the television show "The Office," so it only seems right to combine the two. Here is my interpretation of Girl Scout Cookies as "The Office" characters.
1. Do Si Do's (Peanut Butter Sandwich): Dwight Schrute
Do Si Do's are a delicious combination of an oatmeal cookie filled with peanut butter, which perfectly describes Dwight Schrute because everything he does seems to be a little but nutty.
2. Samoas (Caramel deLites): Michael Scott
Samoas have a cookie, chocolate, caramel and coconut; needless to say there's a lot of flavor in such a little cookie. Michael Scott has so much nonsense constantly running through his head, and one can never seem to make sense of it. Just like Samoas, Michael Scott has a lot going on in his personality.
3. Tagalongs (Peanut Butter Patties): Kevin Malone
Tagalongs have every delightful, indulgent aspect of desserts: peanut butter, chocolate and cookie. Kevin is very serious about his desserts and never really has any concern for healthy food, so the sheer volume of deliciousness in this cookie would be Kevin Malone approved.
4. Trefoils (Shortbread): Angela Martin
Trefoils' new name is Shortbread, because that is exactly what it is: just a big blob of dough with nothing else to it. Trefoils are undoubtedly the most boring and un-exciting cookie of the bunch, and Angela sucks all of the fun out of everything at Dunder Mifflin. Angela would much rather prefer a night at home with her cats than doing anything else fun, just like a plain shortbread cookie.
5. Thin Mints: Pam Halpert
You can always rely on Thin Mints being delicious, and you can even freeze them and save them throughout the year to enjoy until the Girl Scouts come around your house the next year. There isn't anyone who watches "The Office" that doesn't love Pam, and you can always count on her to make copies or answer a phone call.
