The Deuce: I once caddied at Biltmore CC in Barrington for the guy who started the program. Bad tipper.*

My nephew is a scout and just hit me up to buy popcorn. $20 + $6 shipping for a 6oz bag is WILD. - doubledown September 22, 2025, 20:22:18

Scout popcorn is a particularly egregious racket, but all of those fundraisers are a racket - IlliniOllie September 23, 2025, 18:09:34
- We just got our “suggested donation” flier from the pta. $750 a student…* - haighter September 23, 2025, 22:18:59
  - I love how our PTO fundraises - ISeeDeadHawkeyes September 24, 2025, 9:51:59
    - Our PTA has a trivia night and auction, and people are also pretty toasted by the end - IlliniOllie September 24, 2025, 11:21:35
      - case in point: Mrs. Parm purchased the 4 United tickets at said auction last year - Gene Parmesan September 24, 2025, 12:12:32
It’s a fundraiser and it’s not 1980 anymore. $25 is about right* - bbonb September 23, 2025, 17:33:21
Everyone, even the Scout parents, realize it's outta hand. - osklister September 23, 2025, 17:10:24
it's probably my least favorite part of Eggplant Parm being in scouts - Gene Parmesan September 23, 2025, 8:39:33

- That being said, we ALLOW youth to sell popcorn and we have an $11K seller in the troop * - aimlessillini September 23, 2025, 8:15:28
it was overpriced even when I was a scout as a kid - IlliniSax05 September 23, 2025, 7:00:34
It's made with Mormon salty tears* - KCWildcat September 23, 2025, 6:57:52

My friend always asks will you donate $25 and receive a complementary popcorn gift as thanks?* - CoronaTheirAss September 23, 2025, 5:55:55
- That’s what our pack recommends saying. We do sell coffee too which seems better?* - GhostofPokeyStixPast September 23, 2025, 16:24:00
We had to sell at the Jewel in town last Friday. People are so happy to stop and help - Illini Guy September 22, 2025, 22:54:39
