In what’s being described as a growing epidemic, local authorities have issued a warning about an alarming spike in community-wide addiction—this time, not from the usual suspects, but from a shadowy network of pint-sized pushers peddling a dangerous product known only as "Thin Mints." These tiny drug dealers, dressed in sashes and cheery uniforms to mask their nefarious intentions, have been spotted setting up mobile distribution hubs outside grocery stores, coffee shops, and even churches. Their product? An impossibly addictive green-and-chocolate concoction that residents are calling “cookie crack.”
“We’re seeing alarming behavior,” said Officer Dan Mills of the Local Enforcement Taskforce Against Temptation (LETAT). “People who would otherwise lead normal lives are pulling over on the side of the road just to grab a box—or five. One guy admitted he traded his kid’s lunch money just to get his hands on a sleeve of Thin Mints. It’s chaos out there.”
Reports indicate these “scouts,” as they call themselves, are part of a massive, well-organized operation. Experts believe the mastermind behind the scheme is a shadowy figure referred to only as “The Cookie Mom,” whose identity remains unknown but who allegedly handles logistics, product shipments, and quota enforcement with an iron fist. Rumors suggest her motto is simple yet chilling: “You don’t quit until Grandma buys a case.”
And it’s not just Thin Mints wreaking havoc. The scouts have another weapon in their arsenal: Samoas. These caramel-coconut delights, drizzled with chocolate and sent straight from the depths of confectionary heaven, have an even stronger hold on certain individuals. “Thin Mints are a gateway cookie,” said Dr. Susan Baker, an addiction specialist. “But Samoas? That’s when you know it’s serious. People will trade family heirlooms for a box of those. They’ll tell themselves they’ll eat one or two, and the next thing they know, they’ve eaten three boxes and are licking their fingers like they just robbed a bakery.”
"I knew I was hooked after the first bite," confessed one local victim, who asked to remain anonymous. "First, it was just a box to get me through the week. Then I started keeping stashes in my car, at work, even in the glove box for emergencies. Now I’m hoarding Samoas in my closet like some kind of sugar junkie."
Authorities have tried cracking down on the operation, but they’re facing resistance from a community of enablers who call themselves “cookie supporters.” These individuals argue that the funds raised are used for wholesome activities like camping trips and leadership programs. However, skeptics suggest the proceeds are actually funneled into an even darker project: funding their annual invasion of neighborhood streets armed with clipboards and irresistible smiles.
“I tried saying no once,” recounted a shaken man outside a Safeway. “This girl, she couldn’t have been older than eight, looked me dead in the eye and said, ‘Are you sure? They're only available for a limited time.’ Next thing I knew, I was walking out with $40 worth of Tagalongs. I don’t even know how it happened.”
While authorities warn against engaging with these pint-sized peddlers, experts admit there’s little they can do to stop the spread. “The problem is, the product is too good,” said addiction specialist Dr. Susan Baker. “You can’t just eat one. Thin Mints are designed to dissolve in your mouth like a gateway to another dimension of bliss. We’re dealing with a whole new level of culinary engineering here.”
In the meantime, law enforcement advises residents to practice extreme caution and avoid direct eye contact with these scouts. “If you see them, run,” Officer Mills warned. “They’ll get you. And before you know it, you’ll be downing an entire sleeve in your car while contemplating life choices.”
As for the scouts themselves, they remain unapologetic. One was overheard whispering to a friend outside a Walmart, “People act like they can stop. They can’t. And they’ll be back next year for more.”
