“Ate a box of Thin Mints. Didn’t get thinner. I don’t think they work”

“Ate a box of Thin Mints. Didn’t get thinner. I don’t think they work” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. The popular “Thin Mints” Girl Scout Cookies aren’t diet products, of course, but there are jokes.

“I ate a box of thin mints, didn’t get thinner. I don’t think they work” was posted on Twitter by bri 🧀 on March 13, 2017. This wording probably was popularized by an image.
