For Berry, the partnership brings his story full circle. Before becoming an LSU running back, he sold World’s Finest Chocolate in middle school to help fund his football pursuits. “When I sold World’s Finest Chocolate in middle school to help pay for football, I never imagined I’d one day partner with the same brand as a college athlete,” Berry said. “At the time, I was just trying to do whatever I could to play the sport I love. World’s Finest Chocolate isn’t just helping schools raise money — it’s helping kids believe in themselves, stay committed to their goals, and create experiences that can shape the rest of their lives.”

Some kids came to my door asking to sell snickers for football team. They had jerseys on, which didn't match team or colors, and mama was on the street behind them and she looked disheveled and potentially intoxicated. I kindly chatted it up with them about what positions they play and for what team and it was clear that it was all made up. The mama caught on and yelled at them to move on to the next house before I even said no. Kids were being forced to do it, they had no joy. It was really sad.

This was when I lived in my first home near the hood.

Sure enough neighborhood facebook group had people saying this same lady brings kids all over to do this. Different stories and times of year, etc.

Sucker.

I don’t blame him for cashing in.

But they don’t even give a shite about dark chocolate. THAT is where the world’s finest is.

Yeah, I post on the food board. Milk chocolate is children’s chocolate in the same way Canadian whiskey is children’s whiskey.

I'm pretty sure they put some sort of addictive substance in that candy. It's delicious. I can still remember the smell of those cardboard boxes of chocolate we had to sell like it was yesterday.

You’re gonna get downvoted but I agree

Dark chocolate with sea salt is what I’ll go for.

For every TD he scores... everyone in Tiger Stadium gets a free sample bar of Worlds Famous Chocolate.
It needs to happen

This is what everyone thought NIL would be.

Not bribing some 17 year old HS kid with seven figures just to sign.

But, seriously…when people brought those boxes into work and left them in the break room to sell for their kids…did you ever pass it up?
