Today up to 28 varieties are made available each year. Surprisingly, the Girl Scouts only mandate that the following be produced every year: Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich, and Shortbread. The commercial baker is allowed quite a bit of leeway as to what other varieties it produces.
At $4.00 a box you would think they wouldn't sell very many. I can get a pack of Oreo's for $2.98 and it has like 30 cookies. Most boxes of Girl Scout cookies only have 14 - 16 cookies. Evidently, it doesn't matter... in 2007 it's estimated that they sold 200 million boxes. (Shoot... I bought four of those boxes)
This year I only bought three boxes since my daughter is married and moved out. That only leaves the three of us. One box each. And I'll buy three boxes next year. Why? Because THEY ARE STINKING DELICIOUS COOKIES!! LOL
