Pim, a 6-year-old little girl from Pittsburgh, has always wanted to be a Girl Scout. She’s big into school fundraising, and her popcorn sales accounted for 10% of the school’s total sales last year, her family told People. Pim’s parents met at Niagara Falls and always wanted to take Pim there. But when her dad fell ill, the expenses were too much for the family. When Pim found out one of this year’s top prizes for Girl Scout Cookies sales was a trip to Niagara Falls, she was all in. Pim’s dad, Lucas Anorak-Neill, explained that Pim had achieved some of her goal by selling door-to-door with family and through Facebook groups. No one expected Pim to go wildly viral on TikTok. @lifeofapim ♬ original sound – Luke Mandel Anorak-N The Little Girl Scout Sold Thousands of Boxes of Girl Scout Cookies Overnight We aren’t exaggerating, she sold thousands of Girl Scout Cookies in a matter of hours after her parents posted a TikTok video. “We posted it at 8:30 a.m.” Lucas said. “We woke up to more insane sales. She sold 20,000 boxes in 24 hours. Things got even more intense. Not only did Pim start breaking Girl Scout Cookie sales records for the year, but she’s also edging on breaking the all-time cookie sales record. Of course, there are plenty of naysayers out there who think Pim had an unfair advantage thanks to the success of her TikTok. But all is fair in love and cookies, right? The Girl Scouts of Western Pennsylvania certainly think so. They released a statement about Pim’s success to WAND. “Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania sent WAND News a statement saying, “Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania is so proud of Pim’s success in reaching her goals in the cookie program and excited about all the fun things her and her troop will do with the proceeds. The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps provide amazing experiences for girls of all ages, even for girls as young as kindergarten, like Pim. If you want to support Girl Scouts selling cookies in your area, visit girlscoutcookies.org to find a local booth, purchase cookies and/or to donate cookies for local community causes. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with local councils and troops to power Girl Scouts’ amazing experiences year-round,” the organization shared.

The Winter Olympic Games are well underway, and the Americans have had some pretty incredible moments. Standouts like Ilia Malinin, Jordan Stolz, and Breezy Johnson captivated the hearts of fans with big wins. If you weren’t paying close attention, you may have missed a huge moment in Team USA history. Rich Ruohonen, a 54-year-old personal injury attorney from Minnesota, became the oldest American to compete in the Winter Games, according to The Associated Press. During Team USA’s curling match against Switzerland, they called Rich, a six-time winner of “Minnesota Attorney of the Year,” onto the ice as a sub. In that moment, he made history. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rock Channel (@rockchannelcurl) Rich Rouhonen Received a Standing Ovation Rich had an impressive shot. He bit his lip as the stone made its way across the ice and stopped in the safe zone, the AP reported. “I would have rather done it when we were up 8-2 instead of down 8-2,” Rich said, “but I really appreciate the guys giving me a chance.” Rich laughs about his age compared to his teammates, since he’s old enough to be their father. But with age comes wisdom, and he’s very impressed by what he’s a part of. “I came from the days when guys were smoking cigarettes out on the ice, and all we did was throw rocks and think that we could be better,” Rich Ruohonen said. “Look at these guys,” he added. “Every one of them’s ripped. And every one of them sweeps their butt off.” Rich’s teammates love him. Danny Casper told NBC News that Rich deserves all the accolades as a two-time U.S. national champion and six-time U.S. silver medalist. “We’re not doing him a favor by putting him in. He deserves it,” Casper said. “They’re looking at me after that end, like, ‘Should we put him in?’ like it’s something that was not the most obvious decision ever. It was already on our mind. Glad to get him in.” This story’s featured image is by Odd ANDERSEN / AFP via Getty Images.
