Crumbling economy will make for thinner boxes of Thin Mints

OTW I'm jealous. My coworker's daughter's troop doesn't start selling until March.

I thought the troops take pre-orders?

My friend Ryan (the guy who runs the LOST podcasts) decided on a whim to see if any Tweeters would be interested in buying cookies for his daughter's troop. He expected to only sell a few boxes here and there...but he sold almost 50 in one night on Twitter alone and is now up to almost 100. I think he was able to pre-sell a few hundred to his family, friends, and co-workers as well.

I only ordered 6 because 6 gets me a delivery right to my door, lol.

I guess not? I don't know. We have a countdown to cookie time at work. Until then, I've just resorted to baking obsessively.

Different Girl Scout Councils have different bakers and charge different amounts for their cookies. They even have different cookies sometimes. I don't have my sheet in front of me but I'm pretty sure our Tag-A-Longs are in a box of 16 and our cookies are $3.50 a box. 60 cents of that goes to the troop itself. A large portion goes to the Girl Scout Council.

I already ordered my girl scout cookies from our next door neighbor. I have no clue how many are ina box, but they were 4 bucks a piece...
