Girl Scout Cookies Go High Tech

ABC News:

It's that time again: Girl Scouts going door-to-door, selling tasty cookies with sweet smiles.

But those days may soon be over.

While many Girl Scouts still sell cookies house-by-house in their neighborhoods, others have set up booths in local stores, where busy customers can buy a box or two of Thin Mints or Samoas on their way home.

Using an online locator, the Girl Scouts of Central Texas have taken the vendor booths a step further. As part of a pilot program, customers can log on to the council's Web site, type in a ZIP code and find out when and where their favorite cookies are being sold.

You've gotta be blanking kidding me. It's a box of cookies. BUY them. Put them in your mouth. Chew. Swallow. Repeat. It's that easy. Really.

Girl Scout cookies; one of the finest exanples of inflation out there. How much are this yummies now?

Finally! An internet search for young girls wearing uniforms that won't end up with an FBI agent breaking down your door and seizing your computer or Chris Hansen asking you what you're doing here.

J/K, but seriously, this is all fine and good in TX, but where we really need this is in the major urban centers where it might be too dangerous to go door to door or where there might just not be too many Girl Scouts. Living in NYC, I have no idea where I'd find them....which is probably a good thing, as it curbs my cookie consumption.

How can you "high tech" a piece of sugar coated cardboard?
