Girl Scout Cookies

so, recently, i was looking at the girl scout cookies that i bought from my sister. I was wondering what the serving size on a box of Samoas was, not that i would follow it, just that i would tell myself that i would follow it than i would eat the whole box. Anyway, it said that the serving size was two cookies.
 Before looking at the serving size, i would've assumed that the serving size was at least three cookies, possible four. I was thinking, that if cookie companies (not just girl scouts) wanted to make more money, then they should probably make the serving size much lower. After all, the first thing that i normally look at on a box/bag of food is the amount of fat or sugar, not the serving size Actually, most of the time, i never even look at the serving size! If they made the serving size lower someone would look at the amount of fat, see three or four mg and think, 'wow! this has so little fat! ill buy it!' instead of thinking, 'wow, this has twenty five grams of fat, no way I'm buying that!'. they would look a the exact same thing, probably eat the exact same amount and buy one but not the other!!!!! 

You're welcome, cookie companies...
