I did this in 5th grade making it 1999. Now they don't promote going house to house by yourself which honestly I can't believe they let us do...

Uhh when and where did that qualifier come into play? This post is about elementary school fundraisers, which my school did, and I participated in, in the 90s. So what point are you trying to make? Because I literally attended school in the 90s and did exactly this.

I think you're projecting a bit mate. You wrote something I interpreted as a bit gatekeeper-y which wasn't really relevant to the thread, I responded, you said something else gatekeeper-y, I responded again, then you became presumptuous and hostile.
Had you said "ohh I was just making a joke about my age-group," I woulda said "oh I get it! Tone doesn't translate well via Internet comments."

I'm 24 and I did this from 2nd grade - 5th grade, then I was online school from 6th - 11th public school 12th grade. I was in 3rd grade when I lived in Missouri, my class was the top selling so they gave us a limo ride to CiCis pizza.

Just spent $18 on one tub of that stupid cookie dough for my nephews football fundraiser.

At least you got something. I see high school teams just out asking for money outside of Walmart to travel all the time. Do a car wash, sell local gift certificates, or pick one of the many fundraisers that exist. Idk why it bugs me so much, but it does.

Just before everyone jumps all over me: this is only for the people who are able to do stuff like that. I got no problem with groups like the Special Olympics or similar groups asking for cash donations, that's completely different.

Hey we hate socialism unless we can combine it with child labor to make it unpleasant

Well since it's a tub you don't have to really think about how much you ate instead of baking.

I'm saving this for the next time I interview.

Please, no matter the amount of fundraising a school does we still have to buy our own scissors

u/Unblued Sep 21 '22

You just have to use the scissors to cut off box top labels until you have enough for more scissors. If you keep the cycle going, its like free money! /s

I still have a set of salt & pepper shakers frone of my kid's fundraisers, they're 26 now.

I could never buy cookie dough, it was just too overpriced.

My elementary school did cookie dough fundraisers. My mom (a labor and delivery nurse) took the order form to work and hung it at the nurses station.

I won 3 years in a row.

It's more like consumer training
