TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, February 22, 2016

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Alright, it is definitely Girl Scout cookie season! I have been hit up by my goddaughter, my fiance's niece, and co-workers to buy these dangerously addictive cookies.

Because I can't say no to any of them, I will now have more cookies in my cabinet than I can possibly eat. Well I could easily eat them all, but not if I want to fit into my wedding dress later this year!

Enjoy!
Melissa

RANDOM TIDBITS
Girl Scout cookies can have a different name based on what bakery they come from? Samoas might be called Caramel deLites and Trefoils called shortbread. Each council chooses a baker, either ABC Bakers or Little Brownie Bakers.The baker will each produce a similar cookie, but the name and recipe are slightly different.

According to the Girl Scouts website, Girl Scout cookies made their first appearance in 1917. At the time, a troop in Oklahoma baked the cookies and sold them in a high school cafeteria as a service project.

Cookies were baked and sold commercially in the 1930s.

The revenue from cookie sales stays within the Girl Scout councils. The national Girl Scout organization, Girl Scouts of the USA, gets a royalty from the licensed baker in exchange for the use of the Girl Scouts trademarks. No other revenue from the cookie sales goes to the national organization.

The cookie program is meant to encourage girls to learn five important skills - goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

These days customers can find their favorite cookies by searching for a seller through a mobile app or ordering online from a Girl Scout they know.
