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.

Yeah, did that when I was a kid and was competing with every other kid in the neighborhood. It was for an after school program in grade school. Ugh.

I didn't make my kids do that. I was shocked when my son joined the youth football program and the coaches were hard selling (if I recall) cookie dough and I was like "nope". This, after we had to spend some exorbitant fee for him to join.

The people making out are the promoters and distributors of the dreck they sell.
