      We can't sell them in the stores because troops get less than 20% of the boxes we already sell. No one would buy from the troops if they could get them in a store. One thing that I've had happen before, though, is one woman bought about 200 boxes from me and sold them in her store. I think that's relatively reasonable.

    It's interesting seeing him so tame, but he actually expands upon it in a video SNL just released a few months ago in their series "Stories from the Show" and Mulaney explains his stint as a writer and the aftermath.
    Initially he DID audition for the cast, but Seth Myers called him and said, "You got the job, but lemme be clear, you're a writer," and Mulaney was totally cool with it.
    He also said in that video this was his first time on camera and during the rehearsal of this, Lorne Michaels(creator) was watching and said, "John relax your face"
    So this was the first time he did something this. He was a nervous wreck!

    The reason the cookies aren’t in stores is because the organization wants to support individual GS troops, so they can go on trips and afford other things. If they were sold in a store, then there would be no way of delegating each troop their money in a reasonable way. I was a GS for 12 years, and (in my experience) the only fun part was when we saved up enough cookie money to take trips to places like California and New York.

      Also, I think I've heard selling year round makes the organization count as profit instead of non profit. But yeah, selling otherwise would definitely cause us to earn less cookie money. We barely earn any now, but it's at least something.

    • @NjorunsDream
      @NjorunsDream 5 років тому +1

      Jess B... Two questions for you. 1) Are you telling me that the Girl Scouts couldn’t possibly make money year-round for the actual Girl Scouts’s trips by selling the cookies in stores? Then how do you think the Susan G. Komen organization for breast cancer research raises money for breast cancer research by selling all of those pink ribbon pens and pink ribbon cereals and pink ribbon deodorants... year-round... in stores? Do you know how many organizations fundraise by taking a portion of profits from in-store sales all year long? (By the way, they’re making more money than the Girl Scouts). ...... 2) So.... where do the Girl Scouts in NY and CA go for trips??? 😂😅
      I was in Girl Scouts as a kid in NJ... we never went to NY or CA for a Girl Scout trip. We did go to Nibble Fest, nearby.

    • @NjorunsDream
      @NjorunsDream 5 років тому

      Sarah O Making a profit only part of the year to try to pretend you’re non-profit is LYING, bad business, and frankly many NGOs have been disbanded for this reason because it is illegal. If Girl Scout wants to make a profit (which they do with more than just cookies... they profit off of selling you your uniform and the administrative fees for the leaders of each troop), then CEO should have to pay sales taxes like every other company that makes a profit off of kids should, like Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading, for instance. If they want to be truly non-profit, the Girl Scouts would be a school club or Church-run club, and the kids would be making and selling cookies themselves. The cookies are corporately made in factories, and corporately sold to troop leaders who have to pay the company back with cookie sales, and only a portion of the cookie sales goes to the actual Girl Scout troops. That’s why it takes you two years to save enough money to make a super affordable road trip. If the cookies are corporately made, they should be corporately taxed, and sold like normal cookies, with a percentage guaranteed to be donated to Girl Scout troops. The troops would make more money this way, you could each afford road trips every year. The Girl Scouts is a pyramid scheme.

    BAck in the 1960s when I was a Girl Scout, we lived near a big university. We'd go knocking on the dorm room doors and sell a ton of them, till security kicked us out. Also, the frats and sororities were a fantastic place to sell. Cookies were only a dollar a box then, and they only had Thin Mints or Shortbread. Flashforward to the 90s and early 2000s when my daughter was a girl scout. She stayed in till HS graduation, and was the only GS in her high school. She'd just bring a couple of cases each day, and kids cleaned her out. She had a monopoly in that market!

  • @Sours56
    @Sours56 5 років тому +5

    I was a Girl Scout from ages 8-18, so here're my answers:
    * The cookies are once a year as a marketing tactic. Yeah, it would be good to get them year round, but would they be as special? Would they taste as better if they weren't so rare? The rarity makes them special, like diamonds. I worked a booth one time where a man bought three CASES of Thin Mints because we went to a nearby town where there weren't a whole lot of Girl Scouts around. (For the unaware: Three cases of Thin Mints is 36 boxes of Thin Mints, and also hard to carry unless you throw the boxes in a shopping cart like this guy did.)
    * Maybe it's just my council but I think I've seen maybe one beret on a girl my entire career, and I can't even remember right now if I really ever saw it.
    * We know Samoas and Thin Mints are our top sellers. Trust us. We have other cookies, and some do sell particularly well, but they don't come close.
    * The Cub Scouts have a popcorn sale in the fall, so they tried. They don't sell super well because it's popcorn in a tin, you can buy the same thing at Sam's the whole Christmas season. However, Girl Scouts has a sale in the fall where they sell nuts, candies, magazines, and more recently calendars and tumblers. As you can tell from the addition of products, nobody buys a damn thing during fall sale season other than maybe family members.
    Big secret about the BSA and GSA if you've read this far: Everything is a marketing tactic. Selling once a year is a tactic, having cute little kids is a tactic, (if you're a troop of older kids like I was in, bringing a Daisy or a Brownie to your cookie booth is a tactic), the BSA trying to allow girl cub dens to get more people in rather than just making their organization better is a tactic, the GSA having sugar free or gluten free cookies is a tactic (and believe me, the gluten free sold way better than the sugar free we had my first year). I'm not saying the BSA and GSA are heartless, but the kids in the dens and troops need money to do stuff like go camping or do field trips and other fun stuff.
    Tl:Dr - To quote John Mulaney himself, "Give us some MONEY!!"

    • @aviously6
      @aviously6 5 років тому +2

      Also, I was told that if we sold year round we would no longer count as non profit. And I recently made 250 dollars off the nuts and magazines thing in the fall. At least they raised the price so we could get more money off the cookies lol
      And same with the thin mints thing!! We had one guy buy 100 dollars worth of thin mints off of us, and I had a woman buy 200 boxes off of me.

    • @Sours56
