You'd expect Girl Scouts to sound sweet and nice. Mike Rowe managed to find one that was a real tough cookie. In January 2017, Rowe read a brutally honest letter on Facebook that his podcast producer Sean McCourt's 11-year-old daughter Charlotte wrote. She warned a potential customer about the 2017 Girl Scout cookies she was selling.

"Some of the descriptions, I'm afraid, use false advertising," the South Orange, NJ, Girl Scout said about the marketing of the treats. She then rated all of the Girl Scout cookies from 1 to 10, giving both the classic Thin Mint cookies and the coconut-flavored Samoa ones a 9. McCourt dinged the Do-Si-Do peanut butter cookie a 5 "for its unoriginality and its blandness." She saved the worst venom in the letter for something called the Toffee-tastic, which she labeled a "bleak, flavorless, gluten-free wasteland," calling it "as flavorless as dirt."

Naturally, Rowe thought the letter was a hoot, so after he shared the letter with his fans, he asked them to buy from her online link to support "truth in advertising." She had an initial goal of 300 boxes, but after the story went viral and got national media coverage (per NJ.com), she sold 26,086 boxes before shutting down sales, as well as 12,430 boxes donated to troops overseas, according to Rowe's website. All due to Rowe yakking on Facebook.
