Ya can’t make Scout Mint Ice Cream without genuine Girl Scout’s Thin Mints, so Molly Moon‘s is offering to buy ’em from local scouts. To keep both her stores stocked through 2010, she says she’ll need 4,500 boxes, which is enough to give us a stomach ache just thinking about it.
Last year, her ice cream empire bought $18,000 worth of cookies and helped to send more than 30 girls to Girl Scout camp with “camperships” (scholarships earned by campers that assist in sending them to camp).
Moon is a former Girl Scout herself, according to her press release, attended camp for 11 years and “values her time at camp as some of her most empowering life experiences.”
Well, there ya go. If you’ve got cookies, stop in and get some empowerment with hot fudge on top.
(And no, that’s not her in the picture. That’s just a shot from Flickr.)
