   Hey, do you like Girl Scout cookies?

   My daughter's troop is selling Girl Scout Cookies.

   You can order them online and they are shipped right to you*. They appear at your door like some sort of delicious magic.

   * Samoas and Toffee-tastic can't be shipped.

     Cookie sales used to be a contest to see which girl in the troop could sell the most. Now sales are attributed to the troop rather than individual scouts, so I don't feel conflicted about sharing the link.

     Order some cookies! Share the link with friends and family!

     @mcnees Just curious - why can't they ship Samoas and Toffee-tastic?

     @gregpak This is the #1 question I've fielded today. I wish I knew. My guess is maybe that the Samoas melt too much? I haven't had the Toffee-tastic so I can't speak to their structural integrity.

     I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but if there was ever a situation that demanded one, this is it.

     Anyway, I know this is a lot, asking you to order delicious #GirlScoutCookies that just show up at your door with almost no effort on your part.

     Thank you for your snackrifice.

     Pleased to participate in this Girl Scout Cookie campaign by donating my purchase to the local troop so they can be given to local heroes. I appreciate that this donation option is available.

     @mcnees Have you tried the new raspberry ones? They sold out faster than Beyonce tickets in my area.
