price gouging rant
shardian:
If you buy a box of GS cookies for $4, maybe 25 cents actually goes to the Girl Scouts.
And boyscout popcorn, that stuff SUCKS. I hated selling that crap. It was like 4x the cost of store bought. Almost every house I went to wouldn't buy, but would give the worn out "If only you were selling GS cookies". :angry:

The bakery only takes about 1/3 of that $4. The rest all goes to the Girl Scouts after overhead. At least 50 cents (it's 55 right now while they're clearing out the last of them) goes to the troop that made the sale.

I have a box of Samoa's right here. I also remember as a kid that they were called Carmel Delights. So they must own both names...and change from time to time in different markets.

I spoke with the leader (or whatever she is), she's sticking by her explanation. Meh, airhead or misinformation, whatever. Your explanation makes more sense. Especially when you consider a nation wide market.
