remember thinking the World's Finest Chocolate that they made us sell was super delicious. Was that just because I was a kid that didn't know good chocolate, or was it actually pretty good

It used to be very good, but the quality has diminished greatly since back in the day.

last time I tried some, it was still damn good.

The World's Finest from the 70's was legit. The bars were big and sold for 50 cents. This fat kid from the other end of our neighborhood was pushing them one day and Turk my Saint Bernard pushed him down and stole and ate the whole box. He came back with his mom and my mother had to buy the whole box. Turk was shitting tin foil shreds for 2 days.

Take the kid’s box to work. Buy the rest of what you don’t have your coworkers buy, and put em in the freezer for late night snacks.

World's Finest is still pretty good. If you're in the librar/education field, and go to professional conferences/conventions, inevitably, World's Finest is an exhibitor in the exhibition hall. They have EVERY KIND out on the tables to sample. Stop in every time you make a lap of the exhibition hall.

Back in my day, Archbishop Chapelle High School used to sell M&M's. One of my classmates used to bring his sister's M&M's to school, he'd unload at least two boxes per day, and we were a small school. She routinely placed amongst the highest sellers.

The kid who would come out first every year selling popcorn in my son's Cub Scout Troop was arrested in high school for selling weed.

I went to public school. Luckily never had to sell this bullshite

Nope, I had a spare backpack that was JUST candy. 1$ a pop. I’d just pour my profits, which were about 66%, back into candy.

I had giant piles of candy on my floor at home like some sort of sugary Scarface.


I wore that backpack in front line a baby Bjorn. Some days I’d sell more than the concession stand. Hell, i’d sell Candy in the concession stand line.


Years later I heard a song by rob Pavronian that was very similar to what I did


Pushing Band Candy

I saw a box of WFC yesterday at a gas station. I swear those bastards still want $1 for a candy bar that's half the size of what I was selling in school 15 or 20 years ago.
