Girl Scout Cookies: Leo Edition

Do you have a favorite Girl Scout Cookie that you crave all year long? From Samoas to Thin Mints, there is definitely something to satisfy your taste buds. Selling a record number of Girl Scout cookies can be a challenging task, despite the fact that we cannot get enough of these delicious treats.

If you watched the Oscars, I am sure you noticed that Leonardo DiCaprio loves his Girl Scout cookies too! Not all Girl Scouts have the Oscars as a platform for selling to the rich and famous, however, one troop from New York made the cookie sale at the Oscars work for them too.

These creative little girls made a clever sign with a photo of DiCaprio snacking on some Girl Scout cookies shortly before he was named Best Actor at the Oscars. The sign was later shared on the office Girl Scout Facebook page. The sign read, “This is Leo. Leo wants an Oscar. Leo buys Girl Scout Cookies at the Awards. Leo wins an Oscar. Leo is smart. Be like Leo. Buy Girl Scout cookies.”

The troop told ABC news that the strategy did help them sell more cookies and made people stop at the table and read the sign. Plus, it is definitely next to impossible to say no to a Girl Scout.
