They'll probably be sold in your downtown area.

I think you can buy them online now.  Otherwise they sell it door to door or they go full "lemonade stand" in front of super markets or in my case at the metro station.

I haven't heard of them doing the door to door thing in quite a while. Mostly I find them set up in front of grocery stores or shopping centers. Either that or if you know/work with some who's child is in the scouts, they usually push around order forms you can sign up to buy from.

They do go door to door, but I think that it's earlier in the year.  They do sell them at various places, most noticeably around stores where they sell weed these days, since girl scouts *do* know that stoners get the munchies.

Related: How do you get a hold of girl scout cookies? Do they sell them door to door? It's not really a thing in Europe so now that I'm in the states I want to know how I get these mythical cookies in ma belly.

Some grocery stores have them, but I never know exactly when they sell them (sometimes scout groups also sell food in front of random stores) all I know is that it's always in warmer months.

Also, if you do find them, buy thin mints.

Back when I was in high school the neighbors' children would come door-to-door to sell them.  Nowadays I see the girl scouts set up shop outside of the super market.  The thing, is they're only available for a small amount of time each year (I believe it's at the beginning of Spring, so get ready!)

The first year that the neighbors across the street were in girl scouts my Mom went a bit too far and ordered one box of every type... It was a delicous, fattening Spring.

And in time it came to pass that Leonardo DiCaprio, who was already a millionaire, won his meaningless bobblehead for playing pretend in some snow. And the LORD spake then unto the people, saying: “Lo, I have granted thy prayers: be content therefore, and obey the LORD thy God, and make no more memes.” But the people were foolish and sinful, having made idols of the Meme, and heeded not the voice of the LORD: and the new memes were plentiful and did multiply. And the LORD spake unto them again, saying “Please, stop: this hath not been funny since like 2013, if then.” But the people ignored him, for they were on their phones, tweeting #FINALLY LOL 😂😂😂😂. And the LORD regretted then that he had made man: and wise men likewise regretted that they had been made.

I almost posted this in the covers thread but considering that it shows different youtube animators and their work, as well as it devolving into Jon screaming at a microphone, I felt it belonged here instead.

Quote
There Is Nothing is a creepy short film by David B. Earle, who is actually is an artist and filmmaker from Denmark with a steadily growing portfolio. No matter how diverse his style may become, it’s likely that he’ll be best known for this one-minute film. Intended to be played on loop infinitely, it challenges the viewer to an interesting game: See how many loops you can watch without closing it reflexively.According to Earle, “When looped, there is no actual beginning or end, and no real sense of where the beginning and end actually are. This piece was inspired by a personal paradoxical desire for empirical proof that there is nothing on the ‘other’ side of life.”
