Technology is making it even easier for Thin Mint lovers and Samoa enthusiasts to fall into Girl Scout cookie comas.
The Girl Scout Cookie Locator is a free Smartphone app that uses GPS technology to help people locate the nearest locations where the cookies are being sold.
Users simply need to enter their city or zip code to get locations of the nearest Girl Scout cookie booths. The app also provides driving directions to help users get to goods in their hands as soon as possible.
This app is very similar to Cookie Finder , another app that was introduced last year.
The difference is, the Cookie Finder offers a special section about this year’s newest cookie, the lemon flavored Savannah Smiles, HLN reports.
The Girl Scout Cookie Locator also has a unique feature. It helps users find their cookie personalities, asking questions like “Love Samoas”?
Girl Scout cookies are on sale up until March 11.
