Why is fundraiser food always so shitty and expensive?

>boyscouts selling shitty overpriced popcorn
>girlscouts sellings shitty overpriced cookies
>little baseball teams selling shitty overpriced chocolate bars and almonds

And these leeches have the nerve to ring my doorbell 20 minutes after I get home from work to stutter and mutter about muh field trip and muh new dugout right when I'm trying to take a shit and get undressed. Sometimes I buy their bullshit but goddamn it sucks and its expensive.

because the whole point of a fundraiser is to fund something.

you are paying for the chocolate AND the "feeling" of helping out a cause.

i have a feeling your fat ass gulped the whole candy bar down and you wasted like 4 bucks on it lol

Those fundraiser bars are the finest chocolate bars and they are the perfect shape to make you want to eat them

Flat chocolate bars or turd shaped ones are awful
>>
Idk, fundraiser chocolate bars are pretty good
>>
I bought a world's finest bar for some high schoolers, I thought it was alright.
>>
Because the more they make the more goes to the actual fundraiser. Economics 101 nigga, do you know it?
>>

Those are pretty good desu

How come they never have really good chocolates like Royce or Valrhona?

OP you dunce... Other charities just ask you to hand over some cash, and you get nothing. With this, you get candy bar (the ones with the liquid caramel filling are not too bad).

Best thing is, the kids are learning good old Capitalism where you exchange value for value, vs. shitty socialism where you stand around with your hand out like a street beggar, making money off guilt/pity emotions.

Pic related. Movie called "Gummo". You should watch it. You will meet you identical twin in the bathtub/spaghetti scene. And yes, that IS bacon taped to the wall.

I wish these faggot organizations would sell something healthy instead of pure sugar and crap

How much of a cuck are you?

Buy a camera for your doorbell, such as Ring or Skybell. See who is knocking right on your smartphone.

For people who are selling your something, just make a donation instead, because that is alllllll that you are doing. Yes, it's overpriced, they are actually fundraising. If you don't like cookies or popcorn or chocolate, just make a donation instead, or park that stuff in your freeze or pantry for the next time a guest comes over, and then serve it or send it home with them. It's also good to share at the office.

Buy a "No solicitors sign"

I got no beef with the boy scouts or baseball teams - not that I buy their shit or am even often asked anyway.

But fuck the girl scouts. That shit is a Bernie Madoff pyramid scam. Last I heard, the individual clubs make like .40 cent a box for their own chapters. The rest goes to pay administrative salaries and expenses at the higher levels where those "wyman" cunts are making their hundred thousand dollar plus salaries.

In recent years, the indvidual clubs are required to buy their cookies in advance, forcing them to front the money and ensuring that they sell their cookies to make a return. Oh and there is no buy back program meaning that you're stuck with 87 boxes thin mints if you can't sell them.

>As of 2007, sales were estimated at about 200 million boxes per year.[1]

That's an old number that I'm sure is up. And yet what do the girl scouts do? They are not nearly as active as the boy scouts and they don't do shit in the community.
>>
>>7446207
You could just buy any of the numerous girl scout cookie copies available from pretty much any name and store brand these days.
>>
I fucking love those chocolate bars, and Girl Scout cookies are delicious + to a good cause.

We once had a fundraiser at our school.
But it was 9 different kinds of Mars chocolate packs (milky way, snickers, m&m's, &c.)

Long story short, I shared my box with my friends and never paid the school. I wasnt a delinquint or anything but for some reason being an inconsiderate kid I never thought anything of it and strangely nothing came of it.

WF is worth every penny anon. The scouts are ridic, but dem samoas yum
>>

>Why is fundraiser food always so shitty and expensive?
Massed produced product and the actual organizations actually use it to RAISE FUNDS, hence the price.

What a concept? Amirite? Are your retarded by chance?
>>
B-but I used to like girl scout cookies.

I used to work for World's Finest back when the Blackhawks won in 2010 and they made that yuge chocolate bar. Good times. The chocolate covered almonds are much better than the fundraising bars imo.

We had this shit way back in my middle school, I never went door to door. It made no sense for me to walk door to door to sell this shit when my family had already been charged for it, so we just kept it for ourselves.

>those kids that tried their god damn hardest to sell upwards of 20 boxes
>those kids whose parents just unloaded boxes at their jobs instead
>>
>>7443363

The fund raisers in my area sell these credit card things that give you pretty decent discounts at local area businesses and chains alike.

That or like, boxes of oranges which can be pretty OK.
>>
>>7451982
Those kids whose parents unloaded the boxes at their jobs are my niggas. Nothing salvages a shitty morning at work than going to get coffee and finding that there's free candy in the break room too.
>>
>>7443397
I kinda like them, they're only a dollar
>>
All the spook kids in my neighborhood take turns going door to door asking for donations for phoney newspaper subscriptions? Something about a scholarship. One comes to the door, the other three stand back 15' and giggle thinking you're gonna get hustled.
>>
>>7452008
Fuck yes, man. They are fucking based. I'll buy girl scout cookies every fucking time I'm offered.
>>
>>7446166
The religious wanderers argued that telling you about Jesus isn't soliciting, so you need a sign that tells them to go jerk off somewhere else, too.
>>
>>7445912
What?

I love the girlscout cookies called samoas. I refuse to call them carmel delights. The cheap ones from walmart are just as good though.
>>
>>7444298
I'd watch that if the kid wasn't so fucking ugly
