According to a recent Amazon list, Ann Arbor was ranked the 10th most-romantic city in the United States. Topping the list are San Antonio, Texas, Miami, Fla. and Alexandria, Va. According to the press release by Amazon, the rankings were determined by compiling “sales data from cities with more than 100,000 residents on a per capita basis and includes purchases of romance novels and relationship books (both Kindle and print); romantic comedy movies (DVDs and digital).” Other factors that were considered were music purchases from artists like Adele and John Legend, as well as “the sales of sexual wellness products.” Thanks to data collected by Amazon’s “Alexa,” our insights into the love lives of those who live in the United States’ midsized and large cities has expanded. According to Amazon’s website, the most- requested love songs on “Alexa” included “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran and “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston. Customers also liked to order flowers and chocolate truffles via Alexa. - TIMOTHY COHN ON THE DAILY: ANN ARBOR IS FOR LOVERS JEREMY MITNICK/Daily The Red Hot Chili Peppers perform at the Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit on Thursday evning.

The duo is committed to selling high- quality cookies at an affordable price for students. According to Jared Forman, the brothers had enough credits to finish their degrees last fall, so they decided to operate for profit on campus. The brothers bake and deliver orders from their home in Ann Arbor, focusing on e-commerce sales until they graduate and move back home to Los Angeles, where they wish to open a brick-and-mortar shop. “Now, having a large amount of time, we can professionally operate our business and ultimately create a sense of reliability that our customers need,” Jared Forman said. “It’s just been a good opportunity. We now have the ability to fully dedicate our time to opening a brick-and-mortar shop back in Los Angeles, but at the same time to start to grow and build a brand specifically through e-commerce.” After creating the idea in high school, the business developed as a charitable club named Cookies 4 Care at the University in 2013. “We were able to manifest that business in the form of a club,” Jared Forman said. “And that club became Cookies 4 Care, which was one of the largest active clubs at the University of Michigan in my freshman year.” After an order is placed online, Jared Forman said they normally have the cookies baked and delivered locally in less than one hour. The cookies have a shelf life of one to two weeks when kept in their cellophane wrapping. “Essentially we are working on distributing a high-quality product and a very affordable price,” he said. “The greatest thing about baked products, in terms of margins, (is that) there can be a mutually beneficial relationship for both parties. We feel more comfortable distributing for a cheaper price.” Business senior Allison Diener has ordered from the service twice and said the responsiveness and price point were favorable, especially compared to local competition. “The cookies are very gourmet and extremely affordable, especially compared to Insomnia (Cookies)” Diener said. “They will come deliver them to you or meet you wherever you want.” Jared Forman said he is trying to make his company as personable as possible. As head of marketing, he wishes to create a platform that customers find both easy and fun to use. Jared said he takes pride in his company and making deliveries to his customers. “The attitude I’m hoping to personify through our cookie account is something that’s very fun and something very playful,” Jared Forman said. “Maybe get a laugh in their day or a smile. We truly are building a brand from scratch. I KEVIN BIGLIN Daily Staff Reporter See COOKIES, Page 3
