RAVENNA, Ohio Police are raising awareness of a highly addictive substance that is about to hit the streets: Girl Scout cookies.
In a deliciously tongue-in-cheek Facebook post, the Ravenna Police Department in Ohio warns that this substance goes by a variety of street names like Thin Mints, Smores and Lemonades."
These items are distributed by strong, smart, fearless young women who will lure you in with their story and get you hooked, the post states. We know many people think I will just get one box. But one turns into two and two turns into five and the next thing you know you are hiding Thin Mints in the freezer.
Ravenna police have set up a disposal location at their department: Just drop them off 24/7 and we will properly dispose of them for you.

(54,462 posts)The Germans instead have enlisted the evil Swiss chocolate firm of Läderach in selling huge slabs, or pieces thereof, of white chocolate with crushed raspberries and blackberries blended through it. It goes for about $70 a pound. People are instantly hooked, and it has singlehandedly kept the Swiss economy in a surplus position. Läderach has only one retail outlet that I know of in North America, and it is at 731 Lexington Avenue at 59th Street in New York City. In an evil plot hatched with the North Koreans, this stuff is SO good that you will forego having a roof over your head just to get your daily fix. I have heard of New Yorkers moving to small towns in rural Idaho just to be far enough away from the temptation.
