Not the thin mints! Nooooooo!
Those cookies must be made by a union.
If they bulldozed any Samoans they are in big trouble —
Ban cookie assault vehicles.
Best target I found were the charitable groups who deal with women's prisons.
Cookies are far easier to reroute I am sure. There's no excuse unless these were contaminated in some manner.
People are killed all the time. Animals are abused all the time. People starve all the time. elections are stolen all the time. The msm lies all the time. What difference does it make?
Oh, the humanity! *SOB*
13,000 boxes? Heck, if they wre all Thin Mints, I could eat that many at one sitting, LOL!
This really is an economic crime. If the objection is that people will wait until the cookies come up for sale at the lower price, then at least three answers are to tighten up the sales projection methodology to reduce the supply, do a better job on distribution, or cut prices to raise the demand.
I know people who only buy wrapping paper immediately after Christmas because it’s on sale, and the wrapping paper industry seems to be ok with that. Cookies well within their expiration date should be able to be marketed profitably without hurting regular sales.
The person sitting next to me went to a donut kiosk, put in a dollar bill that unlocked the door and retrieved a donut.
Two minutes later, the guy came that serviced the kiosk. He opened the locked door, took out the shelf holding the donuts and dumped them all in the trash. I would estimate there were about 25 donuts.
Then he refilled the kiosk with fresh ones.
The guy next to me that just finished his $1.00 donut looked at me and said. "This is not going to be a good day."
I know what you are thinking Freepers. No. Nobody retrieved a free donut from the trash can.
Obviously they buried it in a cookie-free zone.
Certainly the food nazis are applauding this. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY needs to be eating this much sugar. This was done for the good of the people.
Besides who wants to support an organization like the Girl Scouts?

Was Bloomburg there?
Dirty little secret. If you turn in food that’s “expired”, even by a day, the food bank will kindly thank you for it, and immediately dispose of it - regardless of studies that show sealed food containers are good for years, even decades, beyond their “expiration date”.
In this case, they were even expired.
Our local supermarkets throw out expired baked goods and deli food every day, and so does the Walmart.
You would think they’d have a rough idea what percentage goes unsold and gets trashed — and cut back accordingly.
If they can’t do that, they could always donate that percentage to the local food pantry, an hour before they’re required to dump it in the trash.
But they don’t. These items go on clearance racks after a few days, and then to the dump. Stupid, inefficient, wasteful, AND sinful.
If they gave them away, i would cheapen the value of the brand, thus making it more difficult to sell so few cookies for such a high price.
A fiting place for their crappy cookies!!!
Sounds to me like the GS returned as many cookies as they could without being charged for them. From there, it would be up to the bakery to donate them, not the GS.
But a bakery story probably isn’t as sensationalistic as a GS story.
If Bloomberg had done this state-controlled media would be cheering.
