East Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - Did you know that one of the most popular kinds of Girl Scout Cookies is also the lowest in calories?

Thin mints are the lowest calorie treats you can get from the Girl Scouts at 40 calories each. If you eat four cookies, you'd need to spend about a half an hour of bicycling to burn them off.

Samoas are about 70 calories each, which would take a half an hour of walking to burn off one cookie.

If peanut butter is your favorite flavor, Tagalongs are also 70 calories each. You can burn off two cookies with a half an hour of water aerobics.
