"The toffee-tastic is a bleak, flavorless, gluten-free wasteland. I'm telling you, it's as flavorless as dirt," he read on a Facebook video that has been viewed more than 8 million times.
Charlotte's sales have exploded. She's up to almost 17,000 as of this writing, racing toward the record for Girl Scout cookie sales.
"It's been surreal. And almost crazy, but I really like it," McCourt said. "I like how the people at school kind of recognize me more, as like, a person. And it's helping the troops."
More than 7,000 boxes of cookies bought will be donated to U.S. service members.
When asked if she was worried if the other girl scouts would be angry about her review, McCourt said "A little bit, but also I realized how many boxes I sold and that was good for the organization."
As of Wednesday afternoon, McCourt was about 4,000 boxes away from breaking the record of most boxes sold. She has until Feb. 11 to do it.
