Girl Scout cookies are a scam!

Anonymous
I just bought several boxes of Girl Scout cookies and when I opened one I noticed how far spaced out the cookies were! There are only five per row for a total of 20 cookies but this year if the cookies are really skinny! I'm sure they've been charging the same amount of money for less product for many years but this year was so glaring. On the bright side, I'm eating less calories so last time on the treadmill .

That’s outrageous. Time to break a Brownie’s thumbs.

Plus, they're full of garbage ingredients. Why??

We knew this all along.. which is why they are sold through young girls who are so sweet and the cookies do taste pretty gppd.

Still better than paying $15 for a single bag of popcorn from the boy scouts!

They're both for fundraising so you have to buy them with that in mind!

I just gave my favorite Girl Scout $20 to not sell me any cookies this year.

You can send your scamming thin mints over to me. I promise to examine them all closely before I eat them.

Google images tells me that there was a box not too long ago that sold 7 ounces. This year it's 6 1/2 ounces. Next year they might as well just straight up asked for five dollars for one cookie.

No you don’t. I just write a check to the troop for the amount I would have purchased. That way they get the entire amount.

The troops receive approximately 50 cents a box. Hand the girl $5 and go buy affordable cookies elsewhere.

This is a good idea. I always have boxes left over that I end up taking to my office. I can skip that step and just give money. Aren't they required to sell a. Certain number of boxes?

So it's a scam all the way around.
