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 really. I'm pretty sure the parents, just like mine, were the ones who actually sold the chocolates. As soon as I got into the working world, many of the parents at my job were selling chocolates as well as raffle tickets for the school carnivals. I remember it was always one kid who would somehow sell everything. The class or grade who sold the least would be critized over the PA system.
