Thin Mints and More: The Girl Scout Cookie Quiz

Not too shabby for a seasonal product! This equates to about $900 million in sales every year. Three-quarters of the proceeds go to the Girl Scouts councils (which overseas troops in a region), while 10-20 percent goes to the local troops who sell the cookies. The councils use the revenue to provide programs to troops and maintain camps, among other things.

Each local council sets their own prices. This is based on how their market responds to sales, as well as how great the needs of the group are.

Depending on which of the two bakers your particular council uses, your Trefoils might be called Shortbread, and your Samoas might be known as Caramel deLites. They could also taste a little different, as the bakers have their own spin on the recipe.

The war years meant Girl Scouts had to improvise, and they sold calendars instead in 1944.

Strawberries & Crème, Double Dutch and Daisy Go Rounds have all been discontinued. The rest are still available.

If you buy 'em and eat 'em, sorry! You can't deduct them. However, if you buy them for charitable reasons or as part of a Girl Scout philanthropic program, you can ask for a tax letter.

There's no badge for being a sales star (though maybe there should be)!

Waste not, want not, the Girl Scouts always say. They give leftovers to local pantries and charities.

The Girl Scout website lists Thin Mints as the most popular, which has been the case for years. In 2011 Thin Mints earned them a whopping $175 million, followed by in a distant second by Samoas at $133 million.

In 2014, a Oklahoma girl sold 18,107 boxes of cookies. This broke a record of 18,000 boxes set all the way back in 1986.
