Some Girl Scout Cookie Boxes Now Contain Less Cookies
Girl Scouts of the USA have resized some of their cookie boxes. The Dallas Morning Newsreports that some of the cookie boxes like Thin Mints contain less cookies than before.
Fewer cookies were packaged into Thin Mints, Do-si-dos and Tagalongs boxes this year, and the Lemon Chalet Crème cookies were resized to compensate for the rising cost of baking staples.
No changes were made to other cookies, according to the Girl Scouts of the USA.
The reason behind the changes is the cost to make the cookies has climbed and the Girls Scouts didn't want to cut back on taste or raise prices. The cookies will still cost $3.50 a box. The Dallas Morning News says "Flour rose in cost by more than 30 percent, various cooking oils by 40 percent to 187 percent, and cocoa by at least 20 percent."
We still love Girl Scout cookies even if there are less of them per box. If you want to order some Girl Scout Cookies the girlscoutcookies.org website will help you find the Girl Scout council nearest you. They also have a MySpace and Flickr. The Girl Scouts also recently issued a statement saying that none of their cookies are affected by the peanut butter recall.
