Few can resist the allure of Samoa Girl Scout cookies. But as one Colorado Girl Scout is discovering, even fewer can resist the allure a shirtless, dripping wet Jason Momoa.

Fifth-grader Charlotte Holmberg has been plastering a tantalizing image of the Aquaman star on boxes of Samoas — with help from her marketing pro mom, who saw the image on Facebook — and the “Momoas” have been selling like gangbusters.
“The girls will wanna buy some because he’s on the front,” Charlotte told Denver’s 9News. “And the boys will also wanna buy some because he’s like, he might be like their favorite character.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But the minivan demographic might be the real customer base for these Momoas. “The moms are getting really excited and they’re saying that they need them,” Charlotte added.
For his part, the Game of Thrones alum has yet to publicly comment on Charlotte’s stroke of genius, but in a statement to Mashable, Girl Scouts’ national HQ clarified that the Momoas were an “inside joke” created in a “limited number” for Charlotte’s friends and family.

“She has sold her supply and is no longer using the image to sell cookies,” the organization added. “Charlotte and her troop use their cookie earnings to give back locally — including donating the money to enable Colorado girls in need to afford to become Girl Scouts, as well as collecting thousands of school supplies for students in need.”
So customers get to drool over both the cookies and Momoa’s pecs, and youth in need get money and supplies? Talk about a win-win.

Yeah, it’s really not cool to use someone’s image without their permission to sell a product. And of course Jason would look like a huge a-hole if he said anything other than how much he loves the girl scouts. I’ll bet Marvel ain’t thrilled about it though.

I agree, she earns on someone else’s name

The interested parts will never complain, since it is the scouts.
@HarryB
Girl scouts are very creative

Says the queen using Divine as her icon for leaving comments. Lighten the hell up. Granted you’re not selling anything but a bad attitude and constant pessimism, but at least your message is on point, right?

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a ray of sunshine beaming down on a basket of puppies 24/7. Honestly, it gets exhausting sometimes.

Brian, I don’t really think that Marvel will actually care about Jason Momoa’s image on the cover of a cookie box because Aquaman is not part of Marvel, it’s actually a part of DC Comics…
Brian
I stand corrected. I’m not a superhero movie kind of guy.

At $5 per box the girl scouts need all the help they can get. Thats a lot to pay for cookies that have done nothing but shrink every year (as has just about every candy bar out there).
