It's one of my favorite times of the year again, when -- oh, no, another sign the economy is really, really bad:
If you seem to be tearing through those Girl Scout Thin Mints a little faster this year, you aren't imagining things.
Fewer cookies were packaged into Thin Mints, Do-si-dos and Tagalongs boxes this year, and the Lemon Chalet Crème cookies were resized to compensate for the rising cost of baking staples.
No changes were made to other cookies.
[. . .]
Alternatives to the changes were to raise cookie prices or use cheaper ingredients
