    Default Girl Scout Candy Bars Coming to Retailers From Nestle

    As if eating too many Girl Scout cookies isn't a tough-enough temptation, here comes a new one: the Girl Scout candy bar.
    Tuesday, Nestlé will announce plans to make a limited-edition Nestlé Crunch Girl Scout Candy Bar, to be sold June through September at retailers nationally. It will not be sold door-to-door. Under the licensing agreement with Girl Scouts of the USA, Nestlé will make three candy bars based on classic Girl Scout cookies: Thin Mints, Caramel Coconut and Peanut Butter Crème.

    Even with Girl Scout cookie sales and membership on the upswing during the 100th-year celebration, the deal could raise needed funds with tens of millions of bars expected to be sold. But the move is raising eyebrows of nutritionists.

    Hopefully it'll flop. Given the number of illegal, immoral, and indefensible history of this company idk why people still buy from it.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Huh? Are you confusing the accusations against BSA and GSA?

    I'm tired of looking for the man or whatever label you wish to assign to those leaders in an industry.

    ...in the past maybe 4 years i've heard as many scandals involving them, e coli out breaks (that they never accounted for, with cookies no less, i wonder if the girl scouts brought that up in their discussions) illegal deals for milk etc, they are just not a good organisation, and they only realise they're doing something wrong when there's public outrage about it, not a company i'd like to fund, and i don't see why anyone else would, nothing to do with 'the man'

    The problem is, Noir, that almost any organization, given 100 years and a worldwide span, is going to have scandals. Should we close the Ronald McDonald house? Yeah, things go off the rails at times, but Girl Scouts is actually teaching girls a number of skills they wouldn't otherwise have, and with Boy Scouts, it gave me a place to fit in, a place I sorely needed growing up. So how many kids like me should be screwed out of all the good because a small portion of the adults are hooting dickholes?
