Late Monday Free Write
Okay, so it's Wednesday, but that doesn't mean it's too late to write my Monday question, right? So here it is: Why do so many people pay more attention to boy scouts than girl scouts? In my opinion, cookies are WAY better than popcorn. And why do boy scouts get to make commercials? I've never seen one advertising girl scout stuff!

I don't know. But I think cookies are mostly better than cheesy popcorn.
ReplyDeleteI think part of it is that boy scout troops tend to do more outdoorsy (i don't know if that's a word..) than girl scouts. I do think that girl scouts do a lot more fundraisers so they get a lot more attention than boy scouts in some ways. I never knew boy scouts sold popcorn. Nothing beats Tagalongs though.
ReplyDeleteI don't personally think that every cares about Boy Scouts and not Girl Scouts because nobody says, "OMG, Boy Scout popcorn, I've been waiting for so long". No, they say, "OMG, Girl Scout cookies, I love them". I know my family almost never orders popcorn, but almost always get Girl Scout cookies. I think the Girls have the guys beat, no one can resist a cookie.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's partially left from the fact that the world used to favor men over women. probably not but just an idea. Geneva makes a very good piont. alot of people wait for cookies. not for popcorn. Also people are probably more likely to buy great cookies from a cute little first grader, than a geeky little boy in a wierd outfit. sorry if any boyscouts are reading this.
