    As if we needed any further evidence that Wal Mart has NO SHAME. Honestly, it makes you think their execs would start kicking puppies in the face if they thought it would increase their profit margins by a dime.

    Although, if they start selling discount Samoas, my moral compass is going to be set seriously awhirl...

    when I was little, the cookies were absolutely delicious and incredibly easy to sell, especially at $2.50/box. Then some other company took over the baking, and by the time I grew out of the Scouts (high school) the cookies didn't taste the same. Then when I was in college, about 5 yrs ago, suddenly the cookies came in smaller quantities in much smaller boxes and they didn't taste nearly as good as they used to, plus they had become a higher price that definitely does not encourage buying in bulk. My family used to keep Thin Mints stocked in the freezer year round, as we bought like two dozen boxes at a time. But once they changed bakers and downsized on box size, and upped the price, we don't buy them anymore. I say, the Scouts should go back to the original recipes and take a leap of faith by lowering their prices a bit. I bet they'd sell a huge amount and people would regain their faith in the cookies.

    I don't see what the big deal is. Grocery stores in my area sell knock-offs of every brand in the store. Also, many cookie companies already make cookies comparable to Thin Mints, etc...

    @AthertonMerriweather: I'm with you. Keebler, anyone? They've been making "knock-offs" for years, according to this woman's theory. Blah.
    Let's all rant and rave at Walmart! That's what we're supposed to do!

    So, we shouldn't be shopping at Wal-Mart to begin with, because they treat their employees horribly. But this really sucks. When you buy the cookies from an actual girl scout, you are teaching her self-confidence, and paying for things like field trips, art supplies, and even uniforms for girls who can't afford to pay for them themselves. When you buy them at Wal-Mart, you are paying for...some CEO's 12th Caribbean vacation. Ick.

    I think Wal-Mart definitely does some douche things, but don't other cookie companies already have Tagalong knockoffs? And probably Thin Mints, too-I know I've had some yummy peanut butter and chocolate cookies from Keebler Elf or some such that tasted quite a bit like the Girl Scout stuff. I don't know if it's marketed as a knockoff, but damn, they're good.

    I hate Walmart. I especially hate that I have to drive past Wallyworld to pay higher prices somewhere else if I want to shop responsibly. Makes me very pissed.

    Jesus Christ, Wal-Mart. What's next, jars at checkout taking collections for Ronald McSchmonald House? Will you be selling Naul Pewman salad dressing with all proceeds going to...Wal-Mart? Have you NO shame?? Wait, don't answer that.

    Psh, I've been doing this for years. In fact, I don't even have a kitchen. I cook eggs and bacon on the radiator; I open the hood and spin hot dogs skewered on the dipstick. Kitchens are so 2000-late.
