If you’re a fan of Girl Scout cookies, be warned: Your local troop may be cutting back on the ol’ cookie selection this year. Plans are in the works to streamline their product offering, eliminating soft-sellers like Dulce de Leche, Thank U Berry Munch, Lemon Chalet, Tagalongs and many others.

The goal is to get down to only the six top-selling cookies (fortunately, my personal favorite Thin Mints, Do-Si-Dos and Trefoils made the cut). It’s all part of the groups efforts to make things simpler for the Girl Scouts and for their customers (who dish-out over $714 million in profits to the Girl Scouts). Plus, bottom-line, the six main cookie flavors make up over 80% of their sales anyway.

So when the doorbell rings, don’t be surprised by that blank stare when you ask for a box of All Abouts or Samoas. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

While we would love for you to show your team spirit by ordering Super Bowl-themed apparel and football drinkware for the big game, the fact is it can be career threatening. If not career ending.

In case you haven’t heard, week-before-last a car salesman in the Chicago area was fired for wearing a Green Bay Packers tie to work. We’re hoping it was because he also had on a neon orange sport jacket and the contrast was just too much for customers to stomach? But chances are, it’s because the Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers game had ended badly the day-before for Chicago fans. Ouch. They actually sent him “packing.”

But because every story in this blog has a happy ending, we can report that the gentleman did get a job offer at a competitive car dealership the next day. Plus he was offered his old job back (which he declined).

With the Packers a slim favorite to win the Lombardi Trophy over the Pittsburg Steelers, this may not be the last we hear of him – career wise. Plus it’s only a matter of time before he’s on Oprah and Dr. Phil, as well getting his own reality TV series. Strange but true.
