Drones can be used to deliver just about anything. They have already been used to deliver mail, pizza and other food items, life saving equipment and medical supplies etc.

Now the Virginia Girl Scouts are using drones to help them deliver their Girl Scout Cookies too.

These cookies are big business, about 200 million boxes of them are sold each year.

They have been selling these cookies in the United States for more than 100 years now.

You will often see them selling in front of grocery stores, liquor stores, even cannabis retailers on occasion, trying to catch that traffic going in and out.

During their cookie selling season they easily outsell other popular cookie brands, names like Oreo, Chips Ahoy, and other top cookie favorites.

Surprisingly, the pandemic didn't stop them from trying to maintain those cookie sales either and sellers resorted to more contact-free pickup and delivery orders to try and still get them out there.

The cookie that takes #1 spot: Thin Mints

Their cookie business brings in huge profits, around $800 million in 2018.

One Girl Scout troop in Virginia recently partnered with Google's drone delivery company Wing to keep their cookie sales going by using drones to help make the drop off

"It makes a lot more sense to deliver a one-pound box of cookies with a 10-pound drone than it does to do it with a 3,000-pound car," a spokesperson for Wing told the news outlet.

They have used this delivery method to bring thousands of boxes to people in Virginia who wanted some cookies this season. If it makes the most sense then why not? And more cookie selling operations might follow and do the same if they too find it can help boost efficiency of the overall operations.
