Cookies are $3.50 per box.

Talk about hyperinflation.

I remember when they were $2 a box. Weren't they only $3 last year?

And let's not forget that the Girl Scouts have turned into a leftist organization.

They were the same price last year I think.

Our cookie program also teaches them the importance of developing business and entrepreneurial skills they need to succeed in tomorrow's workforce.

Sure, in an entitlement sort of way. Do these scouts realize that the purchasers choose to pay a hyper-inflated price in order to "support" the program, and/or because they feel guilted by Girl Scout faces? Well, the market is about marketing - whatever it takes to succeed monetarily - so I suppose the statement is accurate. The sales tactic is kind of creepy overall. How long until a chocolate cookie comes out named "The One"?
