Police Department Issues Warning About ‘Addictive’ Girl Scout Cookies
An old menace has resurfaced in America’s cities and towns this month. It’s one that has affected my family and many others in the past. One law enforcement agency is getting the word out to make the public aware of this lurking danger.
According to CNY Central, the police department in Oneida, New York has issued a warning about “highly addictive substances” being circulated in the area by “strong, smart, fearless young women.” If you’re not careful, you could get hooked on what they’re selling.
The Oneida City Police Department posted specific information about these dangerous items on Facebook. The street names include “Thin Mints,” “Samoas,” “Tag A Longs,” and “Lemon Ups.” They cautioned residents that starting with one box could quickly turn into an entire stash in the freezer.
The community-minded police of Oneida finished their tongue-in-cheek post with an announcement that they’ve set up a drop off location for the so-called “Girl Scout Cookies” so that officers can “dispose of them safely.” Let’s be careful out there.
All kidding aside, Girl Scout Cookie season began in January so it’s time to support these enterprising kids. Plus, there’s a new cookie to try this year. Raspberry Rally is a thin, crispy cookie infused with raspberry flavor and dipped in chocolate coating. They’re like Thin Mints, but with raspberry!
