We all love Girl Scout cookies, right? I try to stay away from them or I'll a whole box at a time, but I love them all the same. Well so does one scout from Michigan, who actually broke sales records.
Jennifer Sharpe sold, I kid you not, 17, 328 boxes of cookies. That's a lot of Samoa's! I can't imagine selling even a fraction of that. Apparently, though, all that selling really helped Jennifer get over being shy. Not only that, the cookie sales (about $21,000) is paying for her troop to go to Europe this winter.
Just think about that next time you buy a box of Girl Scout cookies!
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into

"That's a lot of Samoa's!" Samoa's what? Poor little apostrophe... gets so much abuse!
Good for her, btw. I remember filling my red wagon full of cookies and going up and down our gravel road. Caramel Delights. YUM!

I suppose the Canadian equivalent are our precious Girl Guide Cookies, I used to sell myself, back in the day. Recently I'd heard some backlash against them, as people are becoming aware of the amount of trans fats and preservatives in the cookies. I think there's been some sort of call to have the cookies revamped.
