Shouldn`t this be in the "doctored pic and funny memes" thread?

Done!

It is that time of the year where Girl Scout cookies are for sale. Parents work so hard to sell the cookies for them.

Sigh...think how the kids would benefit if the parents would just butt out and let them learn how the world works.

I can`t remember the last time a Girl Scout came to the door selling `em...I don`t eat such stuff but I`d buy some just to be supportive (and then donate `em).

Is it for the girls benefit or the troops or girl scouts in general?

remember my gs cookie threads ???

Red Skittles Cover Wisconsin Highway in Candy Meant for Cows

Hundreds of thousands of red Skittles coated a Wisconsin highway after the candies fell off a flatbed pickup Tuesday.
The spill happened shortly before 9 p.m. on County Highway S near Blackbird Road, the Dodge County Sheriff`s Office said in a Facebook post. The Skittles were intended to become cattle feed after failing to make the cut for packaging. They spilled after the box they were carried in became wet in the rain.
“We got a big whiff which is obviously the smell of Skittles,” Sheriff Dale Schmidt said, according to WBAY-TV.



As corn prices have risen, farmers have turned to discarded cookies, candies, fruit, and other food products to feed their cattle, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.
While some have turned their noses up at the practice, John Waller, a professor of animal nutrition at the University of Tennessee, told LiveScience in 2012 that feeding discarded candy to cattle is a viable diet.
"It keeps fat material from going out in the landfill, and it`s a good way to get nutrients in these cattle. The alternative would be to put [the candy] in a landfill somewhere," he said.
Dodge County Highway Commissioner Brian Field told WKOW-TV the Skittles probably helped treat the road and prevent icy conditions.
Postal worker Holly Millard told the station the spill brightened her day. "It`s a little hint of Spring, I guess, pink Skittles everywhere," she said.
The incident sparked a rainbow of reactions on Twitter.


-really makes me feel good about the beef and dairy products I consume

Thanks for the post Brandt! I couldn`t help but to laugh for numerous reasons -

1. I am from Dodge County Wisconsin
2. Skittles referenced as "nutritious"
3. That the Skittles prevented icing on the roads

LOL, thanks!

Edit - looking at where the roads intersect, I grew up about 15 miles from there!

I like how they say... well it was either the landfill for these skittles OR feed them to cows, lol

what the ..... kind of logic is that
