Smartest Kid Ever Sells Girl Scout Cookies Outside a Medical Marijuana Clinic
Danielle Lei of San Francisco is one smart kid. According to Mashable, the 13-year-old and her mom chose a diabolically brilliant spot to vend Girl Scout cookies: outside the green-painted walls of a medical marijuana clinic. Unsurprisingly, sales were, um, high—the resourceful Scout dispensed 117 cookie boxes in two hours, 37 more than she managed to sell outside a neighborhood Safeway grocery store the following day. The Green Cross signed on completely:
"It's no secret that cannabis is a powerful appetite stimulant, so we knew this would be a very beneficial endeavor for the girls," Holli Bert, a staff member at The Green Cross, told Mashable in an email.

I have a Brownie and a Junior. The only differences are their school grade levels and the color of their uniforms. They both participate in the same activities.
No. It is incorrect and it is propaganda.
These girls are being used.
Wake up.
Jeez...
It will.
In fact, it already is.
Someone has a thin mint knockoff, too. Probably as much the reason for drop in cookie sales as anything else. I satisfy my thin mint urge throughout the year, then I don’t need GS thin mints.
