Overflowing Girl Scout Cookies

Usually the girl scouts sell an average of 800 million dollars worth of cokkies each year but not this year.The Girl Scouts have an unusual problem this year: 15 million boxes of unsold cookies.The 109-year-old organization says the coronavirus – not thinner demand for Thin Mints – is the main culprit. As the pandemic wore into the spring selling season, many troops nixed their traditional cookie booths for safety reasons.”This is unfortunate, but given this is a girl-driven program and the majority of cookies are sold in-person, it was to be expected,” said Kelly Parisi, a spokeswoman for Girl Scouts of the USA.
