Say goodbye to your waistline: Girl Scout Cookies are now just an app click away

Girl Scout cookies are universally adored, but incredibly hard to find — unless you know a Girl Scout. After years of selling cookies the old-fashioned way, Girl Scouts will now have their own websites and apps to help them sell cookies digitally. Of course, you’ll still have to find your local troop, but there’s an app for that!

Using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app, you can search for the troop nearest you and then connect with a Girl Scout. Just tell a scout your email address, and she’ll email you a link to her cookie selling site. There, you’ll be able to see her profile, learn what she plans to do with the money she earns from cookie sales, and place your cookie order. The new Digital Cookie initiative is the first major change the organization has made to its cookie sale system since the tradition first began in 1917.

The Digital Cookie program is intended to teach the girls about online entrepreneurship, handling transactions online, and setting up their own websites. More than 1 million scouts are expected to use the new digital cookie sales technique, but not every troop will join in. The Girl Scouts organization leaves it up to the troop and each girl’s parents, whether they want to participate or not. For the most part, Girl Scouts and their parents seem excited about it. However, no one is more thrilled about digital cookie sales than the Girl Scout cookie loving American public.

You can download the Cookie Finder app right now on the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, but you can’t actually search for Girl Scout cookie sellers yet. There’s still 10 days, 9 hours, and a bunch of minutes left before sales start. In the meantime, you can meet the cookies on the app and drool over the pictures of Samoas, Trefoils, Do-si-dos, and Tagalongs.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
