Can I take Girl Scout cookies to Italy?

Do you think they would confiscate them from meat customs? We are wanting to bring something very American to our host, and I thought this would be a good addition to the other things I had planned. <BR>

I have GOT to get a new keyboard!! My space bar doesn't work halfthe time. Could be a slight problem with the user too. That is from "me at" customs. Not meat customs. Why would meat customs want cookies anyway? ha.

Why would you bring such foul cookies to a country that makes great sweets. Your bad taste will be the talk of your host for months.

Don't pay attention to Cookie Buster. He or she must be in a bad mood. I think the Girl Scout cookies are a great idea. Unique and uniquely American. (Could you please bring me some of those shortbread ones, please?) <BR><BR>Anyway, cookies really aren't that common here in the first place. And second, Italians love American junk food. <BR><BR>Now to answer your question, there should be no reason in the world for customs to confiscate your cookies. I doubt you will even be stopped. They are more likely to just wave you through.<BR><BR>Have a great time.

You can try searching for the customs info for Italy (the Italian embassy website, if there is one) -- for France and the US, all baked goods are allowed. (i.e, you can bring bread from France into the US -- however, at this time, I assume that a stale baguette would be considered a deadly weapon and may be confiscated!)

I'm sure this post was a joke, but I'll respond anyway. In case it's serious, PLEASE, don't do such a vile thing. You'll set american-italian relations back decades!!!!! Girl scout cookies should be banned. When they come selling to my door I give them a donation and have them keep the cookies, they're that bad!

How callous you people are! This is a US institution! After all, for every $3 you spend on a box of cookies the GS troop makes a whopping $.30!<BR><BR>Okay then, how about a bottle of Jack Daniels? (Come to think of it, after being in charge of cookie sales for my daughter's troop this year, maybe I need a bottle of Jack also.)

You can bring them - as long as you promise not to try and sell any of them!

I miss Girl Scout cookies! I loved the chocolate mints! <BR>We live in a town where the little girls are too whatever to sell cookies, their mothers would probably have them driven door to door by a chauffer to do it.<BR>If Americans like them, why wouldn't Europeans?

I have no clue who "jenna from Canada" is. I'm from NJ, and if I'm an "idiot" for not liking Girl Scout cookies, so be it! LOL!!!!!!

Girl Scout cookies are made by different regional bakeries, under contract to the councils. I wonder if some bakeries turn out better cookies than others. The ones in Boston taste fine to me!
