Otis: Doesn’t Idaho ♥ Girl Scouts?

Otis Experience: Here’s a story problem for you: I’ve been selling Girl Scout cookies. In Washington, they’re $4.00 a box. In Idaho, they’re $4.25 a box. Now… “liberal” Washington has no sales tax on food, so that’s why they’re only $4.00. In “conservative” Idaho, food is taxed. Therefore, the same box of cookies is $4.25. Now… I’m confused. Shouldn’t ultra-Republican Idaho be the one where you can buy Girl Scout cookies… tax-free? And that doesn’t even factor in Idaho’s income tax …

Question: Let’s forget for a moment that Girl Scouts in Idaho are forced to charge more for their cookies that those in Washington. Which Girl Scout cookie do you order?
