A brief history of Girl Scout cookies

Girl Scout cookie season is upon us and we all know that means if you haven’t already broken your New Years resolution yet, you’re about to. This month’s increase in green vested girls manning cookie-adorned tables in front of supermarkets got me wondering: How did Girl Scout cookies become so perennially relevant – and delicious? Lucky for you, after hours of research, and dozens of Thin Mints (in the name of research of course), I have compiled a brief history of this tasty tale.
