[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 5 skills the girls in the cookie program learn are:
Goal Setting
Decision Making
Money Management
People Skills
Business Ethics

Definitely MLM in the making. [/quote]

Brownie mom here. These are life skills, not just MLM. I hate the online thing this year for the reason that someone else mentioned, it means my daughter had to do no work. I put the online link on social media, sent it to the grandparents, aunts, and uncles and that was it. There was a hard push including an extra patch if you did online sales but I think next year we will only do in-person. Our troop leaders are very chill about sales generally, so the pressure was self-generated by my DD.

PPs are right, there are fewer cookies per box, no different than how sizes have gone down on most packaged goods at the grocery store.

[b]Haha. I think the PP was sarcasming. 
[/b]If you get a little brownie recruiting her little brother and his friends to do the work "so bobby, you just give me your allowance, and I'll give you these cookies and you'll make all your money back, plus $100k and you get to eat the product too and it's delicious" --then you should worry about pyramid schemes.

I was. :)

PP here, hadn't had enough coffee to be sure. I do agree with the complaints about the less cookies per box and the online piece.  The girls get none of those skills if parents are doing it all on the computer.

Back to my thin mints, which btw are quite good dunked in coffee.[/quote]
