Axios Seattle readers are closely divided about which Girl Scout cookie is the best — but after three days of voting, Thin Mints edged out Samoas in our very scientific poll.

Why it matters: Arguing over food is a glorious pastime (even if in reality we'd gladly shove all nine types of Girl Scout cookies in our mouths, no questions asked).

By the numbers: Thin Mints and Samoas were trading blows all week. Each cookie pulled into the lead at different times, often separated by only a vote or two.

In the end, 244 of the 883 people who took our poll named Thin Mints as their favorite cookie.
Samoas, meanwhile, captured 242 votes.

State of play: Monday is the last day to order Girl Scout cookies online through a local seller, according to the Girl Scouts of Western Washington.

You'll still find in-person sales at locations throughout the region through March 16.
