Do you remember having to sell those chocolate bars and those candles etc in school when you were a kid?

They made it a contest. Sell this many. Get this lame prize. So forth.
just remembered poor kid me standing at doors with my order form in hand unable to speak. While strangers looked down at me.

Did that just one year going to doors 😆
My mom took pity. Ordered something every year after that and that was that.

Not candy, but we had to sell stamps every year.

@NerdyPotato stamps? Huh. Interesting. Never heard of that around here

@Bexsy it's a national initiative were they release a special set of stamps each year from which part of the profit goes to charities that help children in some way. They can't be bought at the post office and only from children going door by door.
