Apparently 2015 is going to be the year of extreme laziness in terms of how Americans get their food. Between the news of buying Girl Scout cookies online and Starbucks delivering, doing nothing has never felt so good. Hey, I’m not complaining because this means that I no longer have to hunt down the locations of Girl Scouts in order to buy five boxes of Thin Mints.

The Girl Scouts of America are finally capitalizing on using the internet to sell their cookies. Girls in the organization, permitting their council leaders and guardians consent, will be allowed to use personalized websites or mobile apps to push their products, according to the Boston Globe. The organization expects 1 million of its members to use the new digital system in order to sell cookies.
Not only will this digital strategy boost cookie sales, the program is also aimed at helping the girls become modern business women. “We want to help them become online entrepreneurs,” Sarah Angel-Johnson, the Girl Scouts’ chief digital cookie executive, said to Business Week.
If for some reason you want to hunt for your cookies the old-fashion way, do not fear. The introduction of the digital initiative will coincide with the option of girls selling their Thin Mints door-to-d0or.
The program will begin in 2015 during the normal Girl Scout cookie season. If you can’t get your mind off those Peanut Butter Patties or Thin Mints, here is the Girl Scout website to answer any lingering questions or to longingly look at pictures of cookies to tide you over.
