\"Nestle<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s something unsettling about buying unrefrigerated milk. In fact, if opening a frosty glass door of a refrigerator is not a step in my process of purchasing anything that came out of a cow then you can pretty much count me out.<\/p>\n

I will, however, make an exception when that milk is Nesquik and it\u2019s flavored like Girl Scout Cookies.<\/p>\n

Unlike my springtime tradition of being pressured into buying Girl Scout Cookies from the table in front of the supermarket and later cherishing my weak spirit because nobody ever really regrets buying Girl Scout Cookies, Nesquik Girl Scout Cookies Milk are heralded off on their own little decorative (albeit room temperature) cardboard stand. Luckily for my wallet, no smiling, crafty, green-vested girls in sight.<\/p>\n

To be honest though, I didn\u2019t exactly know how to feel the first time I saw Nesquik take on Girl Scout Cookies. On one hand, Girl Scout cookies taste good. So things that taste like Girl Scout Cookies should also taste good. Right? On the other, drinking liquefied versions of food seems like it should only be reserved for washing down protein pills on a spaceship. I was, as you may be able to tell, deeply conflicted.<\/p>\n

And then I saw Thin Mints, and my path was clear.<\/p>\n

Everyone is always open to exercise their own opinion, but Thin Mints are the best Girl Scout Cookies and if you don\u2019t agree you are wrong. Do Do-Si-Do\u2019s have a smooth chocolatey coating? Do Tagalongs provide a refreshing, minty experience? Can I eat an entire sleeve of Savannah Smiles and feel absolutely no shame? I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

Besides, the only other flavor was \u201cCaramel Coconut\u201d and there is no such thing as a Girl Scout Cookie called \u201cCaramel Coconut\u201d. They are called Samoas. You hear that Nesquik, say it with me; SA-MO-AS. Stop lying to yourself.<\/p>\n

\"Nestle<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Nesquik Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mints milk does not quite live up to the hype of its green-packaged cookie sister. It both smelled and tasted strongly of peppermint and chocolate\u2013which of course is never a bad thing\u2013but it was missing something<\/i>. Something distinctly \u201cThin Mint\u201d that separated it from the cohorts of other peppermint chocolate milk that will be arriving again this winter season.<\/p>\n

Could it be the lack of the cookie\u2019s buttery crunch, or the loss of that complicated feeling of fulfillment and shame upon finishing off that first entire sleeve? Either way, I was disappointed that nothing really stood out as distinctly \u201cThin Mints\u201d about this milk.<\/p>\n

Just like how your homemade \u201cspecial sauce\u201d will never taste like the one on the Big Mac (even though you know<\/i> that secret recipe), someone needs to tell Nesquik that simply combining peppermint extract and chocolate milk does equal a true Thin Mints flavor.<\/p>\n

Although, I can\u2019t be truly mad at anything that reminds me that in all of the course of human history, I happen to live during a time when Girl Scout Cookies are a thing that I can buy with my money. Although, I am just better off waiting to buy the real thing.<\/p>\n
