Insomnia Cookies offers “4/20” discount

There’s nothing more delicious on a rainy day than feasting on soft, warm, mouth-watering cookies.

But if you’re looking to buy from Insomnia Cookies, you’d better call or order online.

Minutes after 4:20 p.m. today, a huge line of students looking to take advantage of Insomnia’s eight cookies for $4.20 at 4:20 p.m. on 4/20 formed outside the truck, despite the rain.

Since then, they have been receiving orders for more than 400 cookies every ten minutes — four times the amount the truck can make at once.

Since phone and online orders come first, the truck’s window is closed until the orders begin to slow down.

A late-night delight

On my way home tonight, I stopped at the Insomnia Cookies truck to pick up some fuel for the long night of essay-writing ahead of me. The new cookie truck, located on Montgomery Ave. outside of the Student Center, is open until 2:30 a.m. and will even deliver its baked, buttery goodness until 2:15 a.m.

Yet tonight, to my dismay, there was a sign taped to the truck that suggested I come back at 9:35, as it was out of cookies.

I can’t lie – I was upset. But if the cookies are selling out, at least I know they must be pretty decent. And I’m sure I’ll be more than thankful the next time I’m scrounging through the leftover graham crackers and madeleines at Starbucks during a late night at the TECH Center.

Look for more info on the new Insomnia Cookies truck in next week’s issue of The Temple News.
