I hate people like this. This isn't a damn nanny state. They want their product to sell well so they can raise a lot of money for the scouts. This is done by selling something people WANT to buy, that they can't get anywhere else. And she should shut the hell up about the 2 months thing, because if Thin Mints were available year round, there'd be a lot more of them consumed than when you buy yourself a couple boxes and have to ration your cookies out.
I hereby officially coin a new term: actividiots. Because it's quicker than saying idiots who try to be activists.
