Girl Scout Cookies

So, the other day was a good day:


Girl Scout Cookies were in!  In the pauses between devouring all four boxes, I realized something I had never payed attention to before.  Despite additions to the cookie types, (lemon ginger?,) and re-imagining of their names, ("Samoas"became "Caramel Delights", "Tagalongs" became "Peanut Butter Patties,") one thing hasn't changed as long as I can remember:  





The box photos!  It struck me that the photos haven't been changed since the early-mid 1990s(check out those scrunchy-headbands in the first photo).  This memorialization of my childhood made me happy until I thought of how sad it will feel when they replace the photos.
