The Girl Scout cookie problem

Eater - As has been widely reported, many Girl Scout troops say that they’ve had trouble ordering the cookies that they sell in-person every year. The Girl Scouts have contracts with two bakeries — Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Cookies, and each supplies cookies to troops in different regions of the country.... In November 2022, Girl Scout leaders were notified that Little Brownie Bakers was “experiencing supply chain issues” that would impact the 2023 cookie season, both in-person sales and online. It’s a little bit complicated, but essentially the shortages meant that each troop would receive its initial cookie order, placed back in January, but if the troop sold out early, they may not be able to place orders in the future. Some troop leaders, though, have suggested on platforms like Reddit that even some of those initial orders were canceled by Little Brownie Bakers, especially those that contained Raspberry Rally cookies
