We had these when I was a kid, but my mom refused to let me participate because she saw it for the gross scam that it was, and she didn't want me going door to door. I was annoyed by that back in the day because I had no chance of getting all the cool prizes.
Thanks, mom. Didn't appreciate you enough as a kid.
I was exactly like this
Same here lmaoo
My dad refused to let me partake in these scams cuz he knew exactly what they were and was worried for my own wellbeing. I didn't even bother partaking in such events cuz I wasn't a very social kid back then, but he always made sure to let me know that they were scams and that I shouldn't ever take part of them.
my parents wanted me to take these and i never did because i thought myself they weren't worth the time
Same! In fact, my mom did one better. She wrote a check directly to the school, and said here, this money has to go directly to you, no fundraiser involved. Even back then I realized what a BAMF move that was on my mom's part
I remember once my class in 6th grade won a fundraiser for a pizza party. We sold over $4-6k worth of product (I dont remember the name or exact amount but its in the thousands) and we sold the most out of any other class. That pizza party? Two large pizza boxes to feed 26 students. Everyone got half a slice of pizza hut cheese pizza and a dixie cup of Hawaiian punch. We were also only given half the class to eat and finish said pizza. I've hated fundraisers since that day.
Glad you noticed right away. I knew when I saw how crazy it was to get anything from sales that I wasn't gonna do this. I was also very shy so no way I'd sell anything. Also thought i would never be a salesman because i wouldn't commit. I felt like I played myself but the school played the students.
lets be honest here, this is just really poorly disguised child labour
Breaking child labor laws, illegally paying labor with products, not paying at all for delivery labor, well below minimum wage and commission laws, etc. I have no idea how they can break so many laws and get away with it.
@@TheDreadedJuggernaut American Capitalism always finds a way bro. Same story with the slave labour in your private prisons.
@@TDMFAN Yup, even has a written protection in the 13th amendment. Funny how we privatize the prison system for profit but we won't privatize the DMV or defund the USPS.
@@RustyShacklefordReal yea let's defund the usps so people in rural areas can't send or receive mail. Even better to privatize the DMV so it's even more difficult to get anything done

Ah school fundraisers, our earliest introduction to the classic "boss makes a dollar, I make a dime" business model
gotta get them while they're young
That's something EDP445, MiniLadd, LionMaker and R. Kelly would say.
MLM beginnings.
When it comes to these school fundraisers it’s more like boss makes 1000s of dollars while kids who did the work make like 5 or 10 bucks max
That’s called every business model
Thats why I love my dad, every year he would say "my kids aint selling shit thats why I pay taxes." Unless it was the little league candy boxes full of reeses, crunch bars etc. He'd just give them the cash for the whole box and then give us the candy throughout the summer for being good.
That's lowkey really sweet
thats called multi level marketing illegal in most countries
I like the way your Dad thinks. I won’t let my kids be scammed like I was, so I’ll just give them $50 Amazon gift cards and tell them don’t worry about selling that crap to strangers
@@prohikikomo sweetest and toughest man I've ever known.
@@aaronlandry3934 lol something hilarious about saying you won't let your kids be scammed and then immediately send them to buy shit off amazon, who is in turn scamming all of us.
I just realized I was milked and used for child labor in elementary
M-milked?
I got milked in elementary too
Same
so we've all been molested huh

And that's how you became Daddy Denied
Ice cream social: the school gives you a single scoop of the cheapest vanilla ice cream, occasionally you get more than 1 topping but not usually. And you sit down with your half melted vanilla ice cream in the school cafeteria and talk to other students like it’s lunch.
This actually.
vanilla ice cream in a styrofoam bowl....yup.
i hate this strange world we live in
Not even a real scoop either. At least for me it was those shitty pre-packaged cups of what’s basically frost bitten milk that you have to fucking excavate with that shitty flat wooden spoon thing
*wait, you guys got toppings?!*
I remember one of these fundraisers promised our class an "ice cream social", and they were not only like month late on it, but they literally just gave everyone in my class a frozen gogurt. They somehow managed to fuck up buying ice cream for small children.
Yup /:
Man i remember in 7th grade when we all wanted a microwave for lunch and it took 3 years, 41 fundraisers, and 14 individual parent donations until the principal went out to Costco and bought a $20 plug in microwave
I remember selling enough cookie dough to get a ride in a hummer limo with like two other kids to a pizza place. The pizza was gross and on the way back one kid threw up inside the limo
That sounds like hell
Imagine just selling a bunch of items for a week and you go into a limo and it takes 2 hours to get to the pizza place and the pizza tasted like shit and then you start to drive back to school and then a kid just fucking throws up on you. That is your reward.
Id throw up too if I got pegged half to death in a limo.
Should've gone for that iPad
At least you have that story. That’s a great ice breaker. I might steal this and open up a job interview with it one day
This brought back some deep and repressed anger from elementary school, i just hope kids today dont get fooled as easily.
Same bro, stay calm tho,its fucked 2hat they did
If anything, they get fooled more easily.
I remember I never did those fundraisers and thought the assembly we had for them was boring. I actually got a book I shoved into my pocket confiscated to force me to pay attention instead of learn. They had one of those sticky hand things you get out of a 25 cent machine as a prize.
wanna bet this is easily twice as bad as 10 years ago? shit doesn't just get better randomly.
Jump rope for Heart and that Schoolastic shit
I remember when a kid sold enough boxes of chocolates to earn an Xbox 360 and he ended up getting an old computer monitor because they didn’t think anybody would actually sell that many boxes.
What is he even gonna do with a monitor they probably took from the computer lab
Ernie prepares to commits a hate crime...
They really couldn't fork up the 300 dollars for one kid? Think about how much money he would've raised for next year trying to get the Xbox 361
@@kimgkomg honestly if i was that kid I would have just kept the money and never given it to the school
thats terrible.
The one time we had a “Principal for a Day” event, it was one of the special ed kids. I don’t even think it was for a fundraiser, but he had fun with it. At lunch, he went up to the stage and began shouting at random students because the principal did this every day and he thought this was what principals did. We never had a “Principal for a Day” after that, mostly because he made the principal look like an asshole
Were they an asshole?
Nice ahahahaha
lmao that's the best story I ever heard. The fuckin intellectually disabled kid roasted the fuck out of the principal LMAOOO
Disabled kid roasting people is the most humbling shit ever
But principals ARE assholes. At least all the ones I had throughout school were.

And when you do see him all he does is complain
Or the uncle who only comes by when he can't pay rent

I missed him.
I remember our school saying that if we got enough box tops, we could choose a reward for the entire school. We hit the goal and we decided on upgrading the playgrounds, but then right when they were supposed to start construction the school decided to take the money and repaint some hallways. It is so criminal how much they take advantage of kids.
My high school let us vote on what to use fundraiser money for, and we all voted to fix the boys’ bathrooms which were in terrible condition and to fix the school’s water filter so that the water was safer to drink. Instead they spent all the money on these dumb pavement decals that said things like “love, respect, justice, faith”.
@@crisptomato9495 my HS spent money to fix our leaking roofs to add a fucking digital sign out front. While a lot of school funding has to go to a specific thing, this was some that could be spent anywhere. And of course they used it to improve the schools outward appearance instead of the water that would drip into the classrooms when it rained. We were the only HS in town that didn’t have the digital sign at the point but still. After that it took them 2 years to fix the roofs
My school apparently had lead in the pipes for years, right up until grade 11 (2017) when they finally replaced them. I had thought about all the times I would fill my water bottle at the fountains, and how much lead I've unintentionally injested over the years
I remember I never actually participated in these fundraisers, I was just way too lazy to go out and sell stuff when I could sit at my computer and play Club Penguin.
You know you fucked up when students are having more fun playing club penguin than they are whatever you're trying to get them to do.
@@disposable_income_andy Broh, don't diss Club Penguin, there might be Redditors here
Our school just said "Sell this shit or you'll be put on probation."
There were no prizes, only threats and sadness.
isn't that slavery

I remember picking the pocket knife for selling a bunch of popcorn tubs. after receiving said knife at school from the teacher I was immediately suspended.

And then everybody clapped

Props to my mom and dad for refusing to let me participate, I remember bringing a flyer to my dad that had all the prizes listed and gave it to him and he crumpled it up and threw it and lectured me as to why these are a scam and are a waste of time, props to you dad
“If you sell 10 items, you get 5 prizes!” That’s a fuckin pyramid scheme lmaoo
That’s not what a pyramid scheme is. “Pyramid Scheme” is not a catch-all for just selling stuff for shitty compensation.
Yall remember collecting 5 billion box tops ----
As I'm typing this I forgot what we even got in return wtf maybe class points or something?
Lol I think it was the class that gave in the most got a pizza party. So like only one class even got rewarded and everyone else got nothing lmao
my class would buy stuff for the box tops, and the TEACHER would get stuff for it.
You guys got stuff?
@@ferretmayn7045 nah the teacher got all the stuff
which ever class got the most gets a pizza party and a high five from the weekly school shooter
Im glad someone is finally addressing this shit it seemed so sketchy when I was a kid
I honestly hope these fundraisers are still around when I have kids so I can teach them to not do them and hopefully teach em about how people will try to con them in life
Honestly don't ever disrespectful the persuit for bread🥶💯🇺🇲.
Can you explain what this "SCHOOL FUNDRAISERS" is? I went to school in Russia and England and in neither country did we have something similar. Who organizes them? Where does the money go?
@@iamcleaver6854 IN the USA we like to run up our credit debt buying shit we don't need like way too many tanks and fighter jets so in order to fund the pockets of businesses and a cottage industry of lobbyists and politicians from component suppliers in places where it makes zero logical and economic sense to have them in relation to the rest of the product pipeline; as opposed to funding things that are beneficial to the entire public such as, for example: schools, thus we have this small industry of children grifters at hand to make up some of that lost revenue
@@Supadupanerd Are you suggesting that schools are getting their pupils to go around selling stuff and so they would give the money back to the school???
Fun fact: in Québec, there's a law that prevents any company from making advertisements towards kids under the age of 13. Idk if it applies to fundraisers tho. I went to a public school, both primary and secondary, but we never had anything like this
In the us, I found out When the school labels it a “fundraiser” they find a loop hole or something. But yeah this is a thing in the US. I got a police officer rubber ducky for 5 hours worth of selling popcorn!
ohh so thats why i was confused abt this video!!
Grew up in Quebec too. The fact that children are used as little slave to sell shit in an environment where your supposed to educate them is mind boggling.
these things have to be fucked now that coppa is cracking down. online and tv ads get fucked, these things are direct, in person ads
From Montreal, we had this with overpriced, although tasty, chocolate bars, both in primary and secondary school. There was a legal loophole where a parent had to sign a "contract" of sorts. I had a friend who got two boxes and ended up eating all the chocolate himself instead of selling them. In the end the school got his mother to pay for it. There was another case where a poor kid forged his parents signature and kept them for himself, his parents refused to pay since they were against it, he got suspended.
Our class won a fundraising competition and our teacher promised us a pizza party if we won. Our class ended up winning and we didn't even get a pizza party. All we got was an extra 5 minutes of recess time.
That’s messed up.
Wow just stupid
I'm from Europe and i've never heard of this WTF?!
as an european, i've heard of this and learned abut it from movies. Always found it so weird that it was even a thing
Europeen here , i learned it while watching the boondocks , i would have never imagined it existed
They tried this shit in my middle school and no one bought it and they stopped coming back
Same here, I'm pretty confused. What is wrong with the USA sometimes?
Edit: I looked through some more comments and apparently this isn't a USA-only thing. So, let me fix this. What is wrong with _the world_ sometimes?
Swedes knows, we have something called Jultidningar. Its not through schools but just a company.
Is this a US only thing? It sounds like child labour to me
as someone from the US I assume it's only us because of how underfunded public schools are :^))
We had it in Canada too, though not to the same extent
@@Emma-zc5jm Well, Canada is like the diet version of the U.S, as far as i know.

@gamer time capitalism? You mean every ideology that has ever been practiced ever
My dad never used to let me participate in these because of how much of a scam they were but instead he offered to let me choose a prize on the list of prizes and he just ordered it online for way cheaper
I remember being angry every year when fundraiser time came around. I was a poor kid, so my parents weren't gonna pay any, and they wouldn't let me or my brother sell it door to door. My mom took our forms to work to try and get co-workers to buy some shit, but it never really worked. I was always so angry because I felt like I was missing out. That I wasn't getting the same fun experiences and cool shit the other kids were getting.
But looking back on it... I *wasn't* missing out. Because NO BODY was getting those things.
My school literally had sooo many “ice cream socials”
Joclyn Anne same. Pretty crazy how hype they were. I remember actually being excited for them smfh
@@danfontaine8179 no cap they were dope

I remember during my time in 6th through 8th grade, we used to sell cookie dough but since me and my mom were poor I never really did it, the prizes all were kinda lame, and all you got was an hour in a gametruck, now when I was in 3rd grade I thought it was cool but I always associated it
with kids who have extra money to throw around so they can just waste time, though those kids were probs doing better grade wise then me ahaha.
but we also had these book fairs which me and our 8th grade english class actually would go down to the library and work with the kindergarteners and that was fun.
Thank god we never really had that in high school, though what we did have is sex in the bathrooms, vaping, fights, drama, and pokemon battles at lunch ( That last one was all me) and drinking ranch soda ( which someone came in, but i got 25 dollars so fuck yeah) all in all, this video actually reminded me of the cookie dough stuff and also the yo-yo thing which I remember my mom buying me one and then me losing it at the end of the day ahahah.
These kids are lucky. We got colored cotton balls with googly eyes hot glued on, and they called them Weebles. I sold my soul for those Weebles.
Did they have human feet made of paper? I remember something like that & I'm only realizing how cheap it was now.
@@D_YellowMadness I remember it being like a thin foam cutout.
Although, the real crime was fucking pet rocks. Those didn't even have eyes on 'em. It was a straight up rock.
Yeah my school let advertisers come in and they’d give us little colored cotton buds with googly eyes and little paper feet with a tag for what ever the company was trying to sell on it
We called them Warm Fuzzies.
@@crisptomato9495 that’s the feeling I get when I see a dog and a cat napping together.
We had a few “preppy” girls in my elementary school who’s daddy had a lot of dough. Every time there was a fundraiser, the dad would force his employees to buy from the fundraiser to ensure his daughter got all of the top prizes.
I think that’s the formula for a future Karen!
One of the many reasons why I am trying to be self-employed so I don't have to deal with the 9-5 office bullshit culture.
at the age of 14, me and my class made a fundraising event. Each of us held some activity in a classroom, me and the boys coducted poker games. Everything was free, except we had a buffet, and the foods in it costed some money. We raised way more than we expected, so we repeated it a year later, now it's a tradition that school.

As someone who grew up in Christian school, I define ice cream socials as incredibly awkward events where a youth group teach tries to convince you to come to church twice a week as you silently eat shitty ice cream next to mouth breathers you’d never hang out with by choice
"You can't buy these prizes!"

You can't buy sheets of paper with ipads printed on them. God knows that's what the kid was getting instead. Or it was a bootleg, which is illegal to buy and sell.

What about World's Finest Chocolate?
World's Finest Chocolate (in my experience) is legit. Kids sell chocolate to fundraise money for their extra curricular activities, not dumb prizes.

We're dissapointed that you didn't participate in our child labor get rich quick scheme, so now we're going to punish you all. You had better make us money next time.
I'm sure there were awesome prizes, like 100 candles gets you a silly band.
Please keep making content like this, the species needed to get called out for this. I did the math when I was younger, complained to my mom, and she told me I never had to participate again and no child should even be suggested something like this
As a kid, I once in my life raised enough money to go to one of the "game vans." We got to play random ass games on some consoles for about 20 minutes, maybe 15. I think I raised about 75 dollars to experience that.
No way! I thought I was the only kid whose primary/elementary school did that. One year when they were hosting it (this was back around 2009 so they were touting about being able to play the Xbox 360!!!111 wOaH!!!!), a kid in the 4th grade decided to bring in his or his dads copy of GTA IV and played it in the back of the limo (yes it was also a Hummer limo) for about a half hour before they drove back to the school. The principal only picked the top 3 people who sold the most to go and the other two were in grade 2 and grade 5 (i think??) but anyways, the 2nd grader ran out crying and told on the 4th grader kid and the 5th(?) grader kid because he thought it was cool and they took turns playing and it became a bit of a scandal for the school for about a month or so after the incident because GTA IV was ripe for attention about violent video games at the time from dumb parents and media people alike. I never did the fundraiser, but I thought that was awesome at the time (I was in Grade 6) and from what I heard, the 4th grader was going to get a suspension, but his parents got angry with the principal/vice principal and they dropped it down to after school detentions for a week, but it’s still a pretty harsh punishment for a literal game IMO… and I bet the 2nd grader was more pissed about how he never got to play anything than being exposed to GTA lmao
No joke, In third grade we had to close down almost every boys bathroom cause kids kept rubbing shit on the walls.

I love the cookie dough one where they give them the leftovers. Imagine being some kid getting hyped for some chocolate chip cookie dough (only one that's pictured) and selling enough to get a tub of it, then getting oatmeal fucking raisin.
Thank you for this. I was a public school teacher for 15 years. I dreaded fundraiser day with these dudes in the gym. 😑 THE WORST! Nobody wants a 30 dollar tub of frozen pre made cookie balls.

Encouraging exercise in a pyramid scheme is slightly better than a regular pyramid scheme
i know right
Shit or even hoops for heart 😂😂😂
Bruh it wasnt even child labor it was asking the kids for their money
I think the difference with Jump Rope for Heart is that kids aren’t selling anything, but fundraising for the American Heart Association to fight heart disease. It still had those prize goals that were basically plastic scams to encourage the kids to raise money, but because it’s backed by a notable nonprofit that actually funds medical research, it’s more of a good cause. It’s kind of comparable to what I remember mini-thon was in high school-a school-backed event that involves exercise and fundraising to raise money for research of childhood cancer. The difference between those child labor fundraising scams that idubbz is talking about and Jump rope for heart is that you actually know where the money is going to at the end of the day.
I remember my dad getting pissed off when he found out that the money from the overpriced popcorn he bought went towards getting an LED sign for the school. All the sign ever had on it was the name of the school.
that's so messed up the school admin chose to do that, I'm sure the teachers would've appreciated some crayons or something 😞
My old school got a led sign when it was a small piece of crap looking school and we either did a fund raiser for it or someone paid for it but we all knew the money could have gone anywhere else for the school.

shitty crane games, arcades or as fair prizes which are toys that are made to order in bulk only.
and like 10 chocolate bars sold is like 27.5
so that's 27$ for a cheap 2$ Chinese melted plastic toy.

My strategy as a kid was to sell at least 1 thing. Then when all the products everyone ordered gets shipped to the school, they would put everything in alphabetical order in a room. So when the time comes, go to the room and find the one thing you ordered and grab a few other boxes around it. You never know what youll get but its better than the cheap ass prizes they give out. And when the kid whos shit you stole cant find their box they just order another and it comes out of the fundraisers pockets. I wasnt a good kid but I sure did have a shit ton of cookie dough.
I would just buy all the products on Amazon
@@Recroomsniperpro Poor kid here, cant relate. My 20lbs of free cookie dough once a year was my prize.
Smart. Make the greedy company pay out of pocket and the kid still ends up getting their stuff. As a bonus it makes the fundraiser company look bad. You were like a modern day Robinhood.
I don't remember the experience enough to have thought of this but now I'm realizing how easily you could rip the companies off in return for being terrible and borderline abusing children
That's amazing. If I ever have a kid and they have a fundraiser at school, I'm gonna encourage them to do this. Not really. But damn how smart.
I once got "Be a principal for a day" in elementary school
They didn't give me lunch. They forgot to feed me that day.
Also when they planned it... it was my school's "field day"....
So I also missed "Field Day" a day of games and stuff in the gym.. because I was to busy being "Principal for the day".
I don't even remember what I did that day.
Damn, that really sucks lmaoooo
Dude you missed field day, bro I loved field day. Field day was legitimately the coolest shit like it was the most memorable day of the year for me.
Dude field day was the best day of the year no cap.
Field day is the best part of school for me, by far. It was a hell of a lot better than those cringey Christmas assemblies and school fundraisers, that's for sure.
Its awesome how we're talking about children being exploited and stupid shit and the second fiona comes out you can see the love in joy in ians eyes

That's cool and all iDubbbz, but I need $10 from mom to get the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book at the Scholastic Book Fair

Yeah

Hey Jake ily
"if you sell 250 we'll let you go on the senior trip"
how about I do nothing and enjoy study hall
hoodie up, head down, headphones in, time to sleep. hell yes. teenage me had that all figured out. ain't no suckah
In high school they sold Yankee candles to go to the Dominican. I’ve been to the Dominican Republic. and I have to say a Florida resort is the exact same as a Dominican resort. Waste of money. No one even spoke Spanish and they weren’t allowed to leave the resort and see the country. Lame.
@@maritzagonzalez2021 Yeah my school does a Dominican trip as well but I go to catholic school and the reason they take us there is to show us how much of a shithole it is and to do mission work to help the people living in literal dumpsters.
@@maritzagonzalez2021 what how did y’all go to the Dominican Republic 😭 My school was too broke to even go to Washington DC

I remember my elementary school gave cookie dough as a prize for their fundraisers. I didn't participate in them, probably because I would lose all my papers then, but I was very confused on why cookie dough.
We once had a fundraiser where the prizes were literal rubber ducks. No f*ng joke. Tiny, keychain rubber ducks. That I literally saw at the store later that week
Oh my gosh I had that exact same fundraiser once in elementary school
Jump rope for Heart!? Never spent a dime on that fundraiser!
It was called something else I believe when they presented it to us
We did too in middle school! The only other "perk" to it is that teachers would give you one piece of candy for every duck you had to "feed" them lmao
AND NO ONE QUESTIONED IT
Completely forgot about that lmao. Some were "more expensive" than others so people would trade. Cant believe we fell for that shit
I feel like this is the reason half of my graduating class joins pyramid schemes and sends messages of their shit to me. The school kinda groomed them for it. 😂
woah that sounds,... worrysome tbh. I only had a distant relative fall for one but still it is a horrible thing to get aware of. But that was an adult and apparently it's cool to take advantage of kids too, that's fucked up x.x
Hope for your class mates to get out sooner than later.
When did u graduate
I hate when you have't seen a friend in years and year and you guys finally get in contact cuz you found each other on facebook and they ask to hang out and you say sure and the place they give you is some office building and you're stuck in a 2 hours pyramid scheme thing like wtf?
@@LazyCreepypasta you too?
@@alexlingo7779 yes doesnt that piss you off? lol
I like how he just casually drops a picture of the greatest group of men ever assembled to describe a broccoli social
It might just be in my experience but, I feel that the smaller the school, the more value you get out of these fundraiser as a student. I remember in elementary school the prizes for our first fundraiser of the year, were actually insane. I think it was 5 or 10 items to get a field trip to the Lumen Stadium in Seattle where we literally got to meet Macklemore and look at all the vip rooms. I have no idea why it was so cheap but it was quite the steal...
I am really curious what that white wire is going down to basement.
Yes
Looks like a ground wire to me.
That's just standard bunker protocols
hello edwin please respond
Coax
The only people I can see participating in these “fundraisers” are soccer moms
Well right and wrong
Or runnathon moms. They’re the most unrealistic wealthy moms.
Shit I just remembered the only time my mom ever did these was when either me or my sister was doing soccer.
these were done ever year from grades 2 to 6
The parents were always the only ones buying that garbage
Really weird how these fundraisers were openly celebrated when we were younger (and at our most naïve) in primary or elementary school but slowly disappeared as you got into junior high and onwards. At least, that’s what happened for the schools in my community… what a HUGE coincidence…
Saw my old high school theater is selling popcorn as a fundraiser rn, $9-$12 for ONE bag of flavored popcorn
In primary school I was forced to sit through an hour long advertisement disguised as an anti-bullying presentation that concluded with telling everyone to buy $13 yo yo's from the front office. Needless to say they were banned from the playground within the day :/
This happened to me too, they do a little show about bullying or safety then a guy shows up and starts talking about yo yos. He then does some tricks and every kid thought it was cool, then they sold them right after school.The next day people would play with them in class, but the teachers started getting annoyed so they banned them.
And buying the yo-yos is supposed to help bring the program to another school?
i remember always wanting to do the “walking dog” trick
you unlocked a memory
I was one of those dumb asss who bought one then got it took away from that's 15 buck I will never get back
Every time someone does fundraisers
“Boys and girls”
“Thaaank yooou”
“And you can get__prizes”
1) get the products
2) sell a lot
3) keep the money
4) say you didn't take them
I was just talking about this to my husband! I wanted my picture with Scooby Doo. A cardboard cut out of Scooby. I sold just enough to get it and I never got my picture with Scooby Doo lol
I remember selling cookie dough for my chorus class and I wanted that limo trip so bad. So bad that when my neighbor didn't pay for his cookie dough, my mom ended up paying for it. Not to mention he bought like $200 worth of cookie dough. $200 for a 15 minute ride to Golden Corral for a $7.99 meal. My mom is the MVP. And I was a stupid kid.
We had a fundraiser in elementary School were we weren't even selling anything, we just got our neighbors and random people to donate us money for some cause and I thought all the prizes sucked so I just kept the money and told my teacher I didn't get any donations
@@lautaro5608 yeah I don't remember the specific cause, but sry dying kids I wanted to buy pokemon cards
Bruh moment
thats smart really smart
@@zoidenvoid also immoral.
@@ibrahimbaghdadi4995 yeah child labor
My school had a “sell a $100 worth of magazine subscriptions, go to the state fair” but we quickly realized if you just donated $100, you could go and not have to deal with useless magazines. Needless to say the magazine company was not happy that half the school just cut out the middle man and directly donated.
Wouldn't that be way more than it's worth?
@@ramses3445 it was, but if you tried to just skip school and go to the fair you'd get ISS, so you had to pay the toll to the fundraiser goblins
@@jessiemorris9377 Ahh right so less time wasted waiting in queues and stuff like that, nice
@@ramses3445 exactly! The school would get each student an unlimited riding band for selling that much, and it also saved my parents from having a ton of magazines they don't want lol
@@jessiemorris9377 that sounds great actually
You know the Marines have similar packaging on their recruit forms maybe they're trying to train the brain to make that decisions
I've literally never heard of this concept, as someone in the UK.
When we had one of these in my elementary school in the 1990s the prize was literally pogs. Honest no foolin POGS.
Ayyyyy my favorite youtubers all in one place
Pog?
Is that a polite Canadian way to say "piece of garbage" or am I missing something here?
Same here and then 3 months later my school banned pogs because it was considered betting lmao
Poggers.
Its almost slavery for a cookie dough company but the school allows it because they are being paid
literally, i remember doing it so many times too and saw nothing wrong with it, of course we were kids but like even our PARENTS saw nothing wrong with it
My school fundraisers were all selling one dollar chocolate bars. They were the actual best chocolate bars I can remember having.
i haven’t watched idubbz for like 8 years and i come back to watch this funny shit, bros still goin good with the content
I don’t know if this is a coincidence but only one girl ever that won the limo ride at my elementary school. Her mother was the head of PTO. The shit’s rigged
i refuse daga kotowaru
But how good was the mothers head
PTO? Your teacher was the head of tractors power take off units?
@@abirdconcernedforhumankind2345 stupendous. so was your mother’s
@@chipchamp8580 niiiice lol
When I was in school There was always that one kid who had a parent that worked at a doctors office that always swept these things
I remember the guy on stage preaching us about the fundraiser mentioning that the kid left the pamplet in the doctors office and made mad cash.
Yeah, my dad had been working as a nurse and he'd sweep up all the prizes that'd usually cost around $200 or so for free.
Lmao that was me. I went to a private school and all the doctors kids would try and get it in on the doctors office gig but everyone always got the magazine subs from my mom and I’d get all the crazy prizes lol. Looking back it was fun but the school fundraiser scheme is a joke in reality.
Why would sweeping help at all? That's literally dumn
my mom's work has 'socials' rather often but it's usually just lunch or a very specific potluck type of thing. an 'ice cream social' just translates to 'we're gonna get lunch and ice cream is implied rather than just a maybe'
Yo at the beginning the same WOAHAHAH sound from the kids over and over 😂😂😂😂
Imagine being the kid who "randomly" got a tub of oatmeal raisin cooke dough
Oatmeal cookies are delicious tho 😔
Id like to be that kid
Oatmeal raisin is questionable but oatmeal raisin cookie dough sounds good af
@@weezypeezy508 oatmeal cookies are absolutely delicious, but oatmeal RAISIN cookies are vile.
this is how you create serial killers and it would be totally the companies fault.
Looking back, how in the world is this allowed in school? This is nuts.
Our middle school had an ice cream social every quarter for all of the 4.0 students. Easiest ice cream I ever got
