Every year 5-6 parents at my office mercilessly put this shite out looking for cash. Little did I know when my first kid got in to school she'd had to sell this stuff. The wife says I have to bring it to work....ugh..... Anyone ever just pony up the $120 and give away the chocolate to hobos on College drive?

I don't have a problem with people selling it at work as long as they just kinda put it on the counter and let people buy what they want...don't like them coming around asking you though...

it is some damn good chocolate, though...

I actually like it when parents/co-workers sell the traditional chocolate covered walnuts. Not sure how they do it but theirs is the best.

The new version where you have to order from a catalog sucks though.

WFC is the only fundraising product I never mind buying.

I'll take five of the almond bars please.

Oh and come by my desk again tomorrow.

Bring the chocolate covered almonds then please. Maybe five or six boxes would be nice.

It's better than the stale flavored popcorn that comes in tin cans.

Commit to paying the $120 no matter what. Put it by the coffee pot with an open envelope.


We have about a 75% pay rate at my work. No pressure on you or the person sneaking a chocolate bar.

If have secretary that everyone passes by just ask to put it on her desk. People can pay themselves. If u get screwed, u will be paying for it anyway and not gain 10 pounds.

Nope. I buy better chocolate, repackage it and undercut them. My kids enjoy a healthy profit and a lesson in capitalism.
