Mini chocolate chip cookies: Sold for

$17 a bucket or $9 for a paper cone

Let's do some math! If I round up that bucket to $18 (for twice the amount in a cone), I can just work with cones.

$4,700,000/10 days = $470,000 a day

$470,000 / $9 = ~52,222 orders for cookie-filled cones

Which means bakers made over 50,000 people "cookie happy" every day. For 10 days. Then they went ice fishing.

You betcha.
