How much for the Thin Mints? And how many boxes do you have???

What is in a brand? Well, what's in that cookie......

I don't think that I have ever walked past a Girl Scout Cookie stand and not bought Thin Mints. Like, EVER. I see on this table top the sign "If you can't eat 'em, treat em" so they will welcome a cash donation if you are on a diet. Smart.

I really don't know WHO is making these cookies. Hey Grok, who makes Girl Scout Cookies? 

Girl Scout cookies are produced by two licensed bakeries under contract with Girl Scouts of the USA: ABC Bakers (a subsidiary of Interbake Foods, part of Weston Foods) and Little Brownie Bakers (a division of Ferrero USA, Inc.). Each bakery supplies different Girl Scout councils across the US, which is why some cookie varieties have alternate names or slight recipe differences (e.g., Thin Mints are made by both, but Samoas from Little Brownie are called Caramel deLites from ABC). These bakers have been the primary producers for decades, with ABC starting in 1937.

OK, got it. Now let's do AI.

Over the next many months you will be offered AI bookkeeping, AI receptionist, AI webmaster, AI powered (EVERYTHING). Half the population of Asia is building AI solutions to run your school, run your business. Every single day I am contacted by companies who want to offer their AI solution to the millions of members of the (now Global) Distance Learning Association. Because 'our brand' is trusted. Our community is vast and diverse, with some of the smartest people in the world. We service 174K+ K-20 schools across North America, and most of these schools are TEACHING all things AI to the world. 

I sell them - all the brands of AI. We have tested most of the major brands of AI solutions. We have test accounts of all the major brands (telecom | technology) AI platforms.  But I have an opinion. 

How much of my salary is for my opinion?

Pass the Thin Mints please.....
