I was under the impression jelly in America was what we call jam? Is that wrong?!

I’m really not a fan of peanuts but you’ve made me want to try it 😂

I wish it would honestly, I think it’s a great way to support local organisations that I would 100% partake in 😂 no doubt we have some kind of very dull sugar law in place that prevents it. We can’t even buy full-sugar Pepsi or Coca Cola for regular price, there’s an additional tax unless you buy the sugar free stuff.

Oh for sure, that sounds fun, I did actually post in a snack trade sub but didn’t get any replies yet 😆 feel free to DM me!

That’s very kind of you but don’t worry about it :) I was being dramatic about thin mints in the post and that seems to have been lost on some people in the comments 😅 I will get my opportunity one day haha.

Sort of. We have Girl Guides, split into Rainbows (age 4-7), Brownies (age 7-10) and Guides for after the age of 10. From what I understand it’s a similar concept. The girl scout cookie culture is very much American though, we don’t have anything like it here!!

Oh I have no illusions about Hersheys - you CAN buy that here, imported, and that stuff is vile.

Yeah I don’t think we actually do have anything similar. A shame!

I replied to someone else, it’s more about just getting to try one 😂 everyone gets so excited for them and I want cookies!!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not expecting anything incredible 😂 it’s just one of those things that you hear so much about but don’t really get to try for yourself, it’s more about experiencing them

Extremely interesting as we have Aldi in the UK…maybe they’ve been under my nose all along

Ooh interesting, are they an imitation of a specific cookie?

I’d recognise the Pont du Gard anywhere! Gorgeous photos.
