Cookie season kicked off nationwide on Jan. 7 and lasts through March or April, with exact end dates varying by location. Former Long Island Girl Scouts marvel at the cookie evolution since they were the ones in uniform.

It’s Girl Scout cookie season and cookies arrived at the Amazon Warehouse to be delivered to the over twenty troops in the FM Metro. The cookie boxes will be distributed to more than 200 girls. Some troops receive up to 500 boxes with the large number of girls in the troop.

But man, cookie season is a slog. If you're not a Girl Scout parent, you might not realize that cookie season lasts a thousand years. Or at least it feels that way.
