You see that little table set up outside of Fleet Farm in Rochester, with the kids standing behind it with their masks on and you don't even have to look at a sign to know what is happening.  These are Girl Scouts and they have your favorite cookie waiting for you to take home to enjoy...or eat in your car before your kids know that you bought a box.  They are some of the most loved cookies of all time, but do you know how much a box cost back in the 80's or even back at the start?

If you are wondering where you need to drive right now to find a box of your favorites before they run out, use the Girl Scout Cookie Locator app.  Besides our app, it is probably one of the most important apps to have right now.  It is extremely easy to use!  Just pop in your zip code and it will tell you where you can find your favorites.  Read more about it here.

And, I know, if the word "Samoa" left you confused, it is probably because you grew up calling my favorite cookie a Caramel Delight.  It is confusing but it sounds like there are some issues with different bakeries that are used for the cookies and as a result, names are different in some areas of our country.  Full story with all the info is here. 

Speaking of food that has different names, there is a popular egg dish that has 14 different names.  Yes, 14!  Keep scrolling to see the full list of names.
