Actually, what shocked me most was that nobody BUT the Girl Scouts is making Thin Mint knockoffs. Despite only being sold one month a year, Thin Mints are the third best-selling cookie in the US. Total. So why aren't there Nabisco Mint Crisps or something? :->
Safeway has a house brand chocolate-covered mint cookie. Much like Thin Mints, but a little thicker. Not bad. And, unlike the Thin Mints, *dairy free*!
Only for about three seconds. After that time, not only is the internal structure too weakened to hold the center of the cookie together, it's unable to cool the blazing hot chocolate rushing through it. The chocolate coating melts rapidly, becoming unable to take the stresses induced by the lips of the cookie-fluffer. Thin Mint collapses upon itself. If you are fast, and good, you will have predicted its implosion and contrived to have your mouth beneath its chocolatey carcass.
Introducing the cookie into the drinking process inevitably causes a cookie-borne backwash. While perfectly hygienic, the outflow from each cookie imparts a barely detectable flavor of mint to the drink, which is forever changed by the experience.

Y'know, if I had read this in a.nother p.lace, it would have gotten a "no personals" followup.
Can't say I've ever envied a cookie before today...
For those of us who are barred by a cruel quirk of biochemistry from knowing the ecstasy that others know, from cracking the bones and sucking the minty marrow out of life, ... what is the Tim Tam Suck?
Oh, you are barred from this version too. Lame. Maybe we can invent a Wim-safe Trilobite Suck. We'll have to work on it.
You take a Tim Tam and bite off opposing corners, then suck your hot drink (traditionally coffe, but I would probably use hot chocolate, as I did with the Thin Mints) through it. It becomes insanely rich and yummy fluid as the Tim Tam liquefies.

Girl scouts should sell Tim Tams.

However, this would lead to slash fiction involvin Girl Scouts and the Tim Tam suck and that would be ... disturbing.
