Thin Mints, Samoas, Girl Scout Cookies.
Over the weekend, I saw Girl Scout Troops making their final push for cookie sales. Under gray skies, they haunted Vacaville gas stations. They made another stand outside of the Fed Ex Store. I heard their squeaky sales pitches at street corners around Vacaville.

Rock on Girl Scouts. Good luck in trying to make a profit in the middle of a Recession.
Of course, smart Troop members know how to tap into a returning customer base, like their parents’ co-workers.
After working my Vampire shift and forgetting about lunch, those bright colored boxes of Do-Si-Dos and Shortbreads always look like a good idea to me.
What Girl Scout Cookies did you stock up on this year?
We had cases and cases of the things in our living room, because my sister’s a Brownie leader. I’m overly fond of the caramel delights. 🙂
Never underestimate the power of cute little girls selling cookies, though. My sister’s troop managed to sell all the cookies they had and then some, and now they should be able to go camping this summer, which makes them happy.
