If it makes you feel better, when I was younger and sold popcorn for a school fundraiser they gave us, the children, the popcorn to take home. Genius idea to hand a 2nd grader tons of popcorn and candy to take home….

Needless to say I was the most popular kid on the bus after that day. We all ate like kings and I got home empty handed. Boy oh boy were my parents livid

Knew a guy in high school who did something like that. We sold chocolate covered almonds, 2 bucks a box.

Dude was... well, he was one of those people who is unpopular because he was dumb, obnoxious, untrustworthy, and super stinky.

He ate all his stock. Like, 150 dollars worth. And then just sorta hoped nobody would ever follow up to get the money, I guess.

Every Friday for months, teh student council president would show up at home room, ask for the money, and he give an excuse. By the end, he was crying every week, but that little blond cheerleader wasn't taking no for an answer.

I guess in the end, his parents paid it off.
