Wal-Mart Takes Aim at Girl Scout Cookies

So now Wal-Mart is going to be selling their version of Girl Scout cookies. I am surprised they haven't teamed up with Dairy Queen who is selling Girl Scout cookie shakes. One could argue what is the difference? Personally I like the new commercial for Dairy Queen where the Girl Scout tells the guy eating the Dairy Queen treat that if he buys her cookies he can put more cookies in his treat. She wins the sale, through quick thinking and resourcefulness. I say there is nothing wrong with a little competition and it won't hurt the girls to learn how to deal with it. One could say that it's not so much about the sale as it is about the lessons learned through the sale. Yes you may be paying a bit more for that box of Girl Scout cookies but the lessons and skills you will be helping her learn will be priceless.
