As reported on MyFox New York, Girl Scout cookie sales are down.

This begs the question, what is going through your ever-lovin' minds people?

I tend to blame this entire trend on Grant Griffiths who put down the thin mint cookie, which is just unpatriotic at best.

Regardless of Grants disrespect for the efforts of the Girl Scouts, what does the economy have to do with the sale of these delicious wonders?

For example, Becky Santos, leader of Brownie Troop 74 in Barrington, said her group sold 300 boxes outside a Wal-Mart recently, down from 500 in the same location last year. Sue Cusack, the troop's co-leader, said she and her daughter also made fewer door-to-door sales, with some repeat customers buying one box instead of two.

Jan Arsenault of Barrington said she scaled back her purchase because of the economy but couldn't resist two boxes, "I almost made it by this table," she said at Barrington Middle School on Tuesday. "In past years, I probably would have bought more."

Do you just want to break the hearts and spirit of little girls?

Get on board people, get out of your houses and go buy lots of boxes of Girl Scout cookies.  That goes for you too Griffiths!
