Man, I wish I was that ambitious when I was a Girl Scout selling Thin Mints for Troop 1540 in the early 2000s. All I did was sit in front of a Blockbuster Video asking if customers wanted to buy a box of cookies.
(That anecdote alone sent me into “Okay Boomer” territory, [kids, ask your parents about Blockbuster Videos] let me grab my walker before we continue….)

Monmouth County Girl Scout Raven Lee took the cookie sale to a whole new level this year. While us idiots were going door to door sheepishly asking if our neighbors wanted to buy some peanut butter cookies, this Brownie performed a parody of Walker Hayes’ “Fancy Like” to sell her cookies.
You’d recognize the song from its appearance in Applebee’s annoyingly catchy commercial, here’s the music video:
The best part of the Raven parody? This was not a half-hearted effort. There are a lot of costume changes involved in this video from Troop 573 star Brownie.

Fair warning before you watch this video: It’s a total earworm, be prepared for it to get stuck in your head for a while.
“Be classy as a Thin Mint on a date night. Adventurers are new, they’re out of sight. Get her some Trefoils, which are shortbread cookies. Toffee-tastic is my favorite!” That’s what she said.
As of this writing, Raven is only a hundred boxes away from her target. You can help her by ordering Girl Scout cookies. here. As it says in the song, “it’s a great Valentine’s gift for your schnookies!”
