Researchers found that the simple disposable blue masks in particular “increase facial attractiveness more than other face coverings”. In the study, men were perceived to be more physically attractive when wearing a mask than without one.

Girl Scout cookie season is almost here.

Girls Scouts is preparing for its 2022 cookie-selling season with its Cookie Finder, a tool that allows users to search for nearby boxes of Thin Mints or Samoas by typing in their zip code to find availability. The Cookie Finder is also available to download as a mobile app.

Although Girls Scouts hasn’t officially announced the start date for the season, last year it kicked off on February 1, though exact timing can vary by location.

Per tradition, Girl Scouts will release a new cookie this year. Titled Adventurefuls, the Girls Scouts website describes them as “brownie-inspired cookies topped with caramel flavored crème with a hint of sea salt.”

In 2021, Girl Scouts debuted a variety of new initiatives to help sell and deliver cookies during the pandemic, including online ordering and delivery with Grubhub.
