When Do Girl Scout Cookies Go Bad?

I'm just a sucker for kids selling stuff..
A few years ago some kid came up to my garage asking if I would support their group to go on a trip . He looked terrified that I was going to sick my dog on him so I bought a box of extraordinarily stale tootsie rolls for way more than they were worth . I figured that if the kid could summon the courage to ask he earned it even if it was the only sale he ever made in his entire life . I still have the box full of stale tootsie rolls..
I don't know ... Some cute little kid could probably be selling nuclear waste and I'd buy it. I still remember the door to door gig when I was a kid. * see my post about selling Christmas cards in the dead of summer.  Lol
"You don't wanna buy some Christmas cards do ya?"

To answer your question about freshness, staleness is baked into the process to avoid the question of when it might go bad.. They're technically bad before they're actually made to insulated you from expectations of freshness.. 

I can't recall the last time I saw a Girl Scout go door to door.

I always see them outside the grocery stores or Sam's Club pushing their crack from a table.

If I mention that I don't have any cash while they are accosting me to buy, they always are quick to respond "We take credit cards!"
