Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
According to a report just yesterday from MSNBC, Girl Scout troops selling their cookies in Washington state are the latest victims of fraud. They have lost $100 so far due to fake $20 bills. This comes at a particularly rough time for Girl Scout cookie sales. According to The Consumerist, a troop leader states that sales are down by as much as half.
