That’s the way the cookie crumbles
A Michigan Girl Scout sold 17,328 boxes of cookies this year.
15-year old Jennifer Sharpe from Dearborn set up her shop on a street corner and sold cookies every day, with help from her mother and troop leader, Pam Sharpe.
Jennifer’s Troop 813 raised about $21,000 in cookie sales. And they plan to use the money for a 10-day trip to Europe.
P.S. according to girlscouts.org the best-selling Girl Scout Cookies are:
-
25% Thin Mints
-
19% Samoas/Caramel deLites
-
13% Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs
-
11% Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos
-
9% Shortbread/Trefoils

Yay for Girl Scouts of America! Teaching young women the importance of capitalism and selling obesity – I mean, cookies — to the masses.
