Today was a good email day.  My friend Rich emailed me this thought about the Girl Scouts:

In trying to figure out  "just how outrageous" the cost of Girl Scout
Cookies might be, I decided to match the cost per ounce of Tagalogs
against the Lexus ES 330.  Here is what I found:

Tagalogs cost 50 cents an ounce.
The Lexus ES 330 weighs 4,540 lbs or 72,640 ounces.

The Sticker price is : $32,300 or 44 cents an ounce

I would have to pay $36,320, or $4,020 more than sticker price for
the Lexus if the Girl Scouts sold it.

Wow the all NEW 2007 Limited Girl Scout Lexus ES 330 — this is where
the Girl Scouts should do there fundraising…..

1 Car = 10,377 boxes of tagalogs, less work, who knows?

Did I mention that Rich is one of the smartest people I know and taught me just about everything I know about marketing?  He might have a future as a Girl Scout leader…I’d pay big bucks to see him in uniform.
