17,328 Boxes of Girl Scout Cookies Sold by One Girl Scout

This morning, The Associated Press reported a 15 year old girl, from Dearborn, Michigan, sold 17,328 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.  We all know the popularity of these mouth watering, sweet craving satisfyers in this nation of carbohydrate lovers.  Well, unless of course you lived in a cave all your life and never exposed to these national treasures.  With that  said, I am still amazed at the amount of Girl Scout cookies this young lady sold.  Apparently, she sets up her Girl Scout cookies on  the same corner everyday and they must come in droves.  If you build it, (the Girl Scout cookie pyramid) they will come.  This corner must be the most popular area in the nation for the Girl Scout Cookie lovers.

According to a spokesperson for the national New York  branch for the Girl Scouts of America, they don’t keep records of the most boxes sold, nationally.  I think they need to, now.  Though her troop only keeps a percentage of the proceeds, this particular Girl Scout did earn her troop enough money to be able to afford a trip  to Europe this winter.  You have to commend her for dedication.  This might trigger a new category in the Guinness Book of World Records.  You suppose?
