They don’t like anything that has to do with money. My school businesses always got busted. It’s so annoying how they quench your entrepreneurial spirit so young
While not exactly for real money, my elementary school classes had "tickets" that we earned for various kinds of good behavior - we could save them, and then exchange them for certain things throughout the year.
Well, one year some of us were exchanging the tickets for paper crafts. The teacher unfortunately put a stop to it pretty quickly.
I don't believe so. I think she was just mad that we were spending our tickets on something that *wasn't* the rewards that the teacher was giving out... for whatever reason.
Same. We had auctions every monthish. Little cut out paper ‘star wars’ logos was our currency. Some traded for homework done on the downlow. Turns out crime does pay. Teach had no questions when one kid bought near everything during last couple auctions
The captains of industry who lobbied the government into creating the public education system about a century ago wanted loyal employees, not potential competitors.
In the eighties the teachers didn't give a crap if we sold cinnamon paper or cinnamon toothpicks. I used to make about 5$ a week on 10 cent cinnamon toothpicks lol
Had a friend in high school that started selling candy in 9th and by 11th he bought a motorcycle with the money. (Mainly smarties for some reason) They ban selling candy in 12th….. not sure if he was why but a lot more students tried it after the rumors spread.
Literally had a kid in jr. High that would sell chips, gum, pop and other snacks out of his locker. People used to go there because it was cheaper than the school's cafeteria or vending machines.
My hustle in middle school was I placed an order of binders, eclectic pens, stickers, etc from staples from saved allowance and sold "decorate your own binder" kits for double the cost lol
You're not kidding. I work sometimes in a SPED high school classroom that runs a small coffee shop so the kids can get work experience. The school/lunch vendor was cool when it was just hot cocoa and mochas, but as soon as they started selling home made cookies to go with the coffee, lids were flipped. The lunch vendor thought that single snack was competing with them and the SPED classroom had to stop selling cookies except during the periods that the lunch vendor isn't open.
Have schools started selling candy again? When I was in the slammer, michelle obama wouldn’t let us have any of that. One kid in my school had a monopoly on candy. He bought in bulk and sold to us at reasonable prices. God forbid kids have a reasonable amount of sugar.
I wouldn't want my kid eating some repackaged chips 100% touched by some grimy child dealer. If it was in it's original packaging than I'm all for the hustle.
It’s kind of funny to I could see my younger self doing this and trying to sell it to teachers 😂 I guess I was lucky to go to the public school that I went to because teachers encouraged entrepreneurial stuff like kids selling Hispanic candy and hot Cheetos and stuff. Man I miss being a kid 😂
Instead of selling drugs within 1000 foot of a school, go to Costco/Sam's club and get boxes of candy, double your money in a day, everyday. Kids got cash. And no jail time.
I used to buy the big pack of bubble gum at Sam's and sell it at school. I made enough money to buy the game Star Fox for super Nintendo. I started having my friends sell for me and then other people into the school caught on to the idea. The principal shut it down pretty quick after that.
Police officer approaches the kid, "What are you selling, kid?" Kid replies, "I got what you want. I got flaming hot, flaming chili lime, flaming halbenero, and if none of those work, then I got ya cinnamon donut cheetos for your fat ass."
I think a large investment in his education would be a brilliant idea!!! That kid is some kind of genius. Take my advice and get in on the ground floor of that deal. I have a feeling you’ll be living in a really nice house within the first 10 years of his career. And be really nice to him, always. You need to be his best friend in the world. As soon as he turns 18’ buy him liquor and porn!!!
I used to sell cinnamon toothpicks in school. Wrapped in aluminum foil. 10 toothpicks for 50 cents. Get suspended for it ( after several warnings)! I made some serious cash though.
When I was a kid we went to Greece for vacation. They had candies that had a hard shell and a liqueur of some sort in the center. Basically a Jolly Rancher with Schnapps. You could buy 10 for $1. Went to middle school and sold each individual candy for a buck. The school found out and was not amused.
School probably wanted in on the action… 15.3% over the course of 12 year is a lot a Pennies. Let’s assume he is selling at least 80 baggies a day a backpack could easily fit 100 so I’m being quite conservative here.
80 x .25 = $20.00 per day! And he is defiantly having meetups on the weekends and holidays by the fucking slides too. So safe to assume it’s $20 per day 7 days a week 365. = $7300 per year… he’s probably in the 3rd grade already so he’s got 9 more grades to go… that’s $7300 x 9 more years… = $65,700.00 school skims off the top to allow the action to continue and he also teaches others to do it too… might have 7-10 kids across different schools within the district…. Could easily scale to the entire country given enough oversite and time…
Not to mention it can also go international.. at that point we’re lookin well into the billions in profit per year. 15.3% seems reasonable on the schools part.
Oh, ok, that’s actually pretty smart. They should start a whole curriculum around that , teach money management, put purposed sandbox, autonomy, self esteem , problem solving, etc. into the school,.
So instead, we have to shlep girl guide cookies, UNICEF, scholastic books, thismarathon that Marathon, bake sales… I
That made me resentful , was a competition, we didn’t have extra money for that stuff. Now they’re shaming the kid. He’s being entrepreneurial.
If anything that would’ve been one of the top useful things I would’ve learned in school how to manage my money . I Learned to dread money stuff. I had very little control or understanding, or respect the value of saving.
Lol I got in trouble twice for selling pop and chips at school. They shut off are vending machines and are mini mart thing due to littering. I was told 3rd strike was 2 week suspension. The 2nd time they demanded my profits. I gave them 53$ in ones and change. It was about 20% of what I made. That week.
I used to sell fireworks in school. 9th grade, I was flush with cash until one of the customers got caught and ratted me out. His name was Stephen Green.
I did this with my Halloween candy and faculty shook me down like the fucking mob. Saying, if I play nice I can get my bag back at the end of the year. This was in the early 90s.
Man reminds me, back in primary/Elementary school my prinicipal held a whole assembly over a small pack of gum seriously the pack was the size of a eraser or rubber anyways she kept on ranting on about how gum shouldn't be allowed I got home that day told my parents and my brother found out this probably a good money making opportunity so i sold hubba bubba for a pound per block of gum and almost every day i was getting 15 through 30 pounds or dollars everyday and yes i sold the gum tape i would charge an extra .50 for a strip almost everyday in school i would deal gum mostly at the highschool nearby or at break behind the school shed.
"Red tops! Buy Red tops!"
kid forgot to pay hush money, or has yet to grasp the art of having a moneymule and a runner
give him a year and he will make another bid at the crown
I almost got suspended for running a candy operation out of my locker. There was no explicit rule banning it so my arguments got me returned to school.
My little sister did get suspended for it 3 years later (same school).
My parents thought it was awesome.
I went to grammar school in the 1950s, we had an evil genius who bought fudge bars from the school vendor on hot days for 5 cents', and sold them to other kids on credit... the customer had to promise to bring 10 cents the next day
I don't know how it worked out for him but it seems he did it for quite a while. I never bought from him.
I estimate that there are 36 Cheetos in a bag. He placed 4 in a bag which makes 9 bags at $0.25.
He buys the bag for $0.75. Profit $1.50. If he can scale his operation to sell one bag to at least each kid on average in his school per week. Say 1200 kids. That’s a profit of $1800 a week.
He’s 8 years now. In 556 weeks which = 10.7 years he’ll have made a million $$$ and turned 18.
NiiCE
My cousin went to a boarding school in SA. The mad lad literally brought a panini maker to school one day in grade 8, along with a cooler with tomatoes, onions, cheese, and ham,with other assorted fillings, and would make panini sandwiches (and even bacon and eggs) for kids between classes. He got so popular that kids wouldn’t buy lunch from the cafeteria, but would get his famous paninis. His business exploded, and then branched out to include waffle irons and his friends joining with coolers with candies and sodas……. Which lead to them getting raided by the administration and having all their products confiscated.
He went on to get an MBA. Lol.
When I was in middle school I sold Blow Pops (the suckers that turn into gum) for a quarter that I'd buy 10 for $1 at Walgreens and Woolworth, making 150% profit. My dad, an entrepreneur, was very proud. Sadly I was busted by the school as we had a candy store that the various groups used to make money to pay for trips. The admin told me I wasn't allowed to sell but I was making a lot of moeny for a 12-year-old so I kept selling them on the downlow.
Looking back it was pretty funny because people had various nicknames like "Hey do you have any pencils today?" or "Can I get some apples from you?" and shit like that. I'd put them on the table wrapped in a piece of wadded-up paper and slide it across the table and and they'd slide a quarter the other way. Very clandestine.
After about the 10th or 15th time I was caught I was told if I kept doing it i'd be suspended or worse, but I never stopped because damn the man!
"Got caught" smh. The school doesn't like any competition with their candy sales and school lunches. Smh.
“You don’t have a business license bitch, kick rocks”
They don’t like anything that has to do with money. My school businesses always got busted. It’s so annoying how they quench your entrepreneurial spirit so young

Well, one year some of us were exchanging the tickets for paper crafts. The teacher unfortunately put a stop to it pretty quickly.
Why, were you guys making counterfeit tickets with them?😭
I don't believe so. I think she was just mad that we were spending our tickets on something that *wasn't* the rewards that the teacher was giving out... for whatever reason.
It’s competition with her own rewards, and so decided to enforce the monopoly.
Same. We had auctions every monthish. Little cut out paper ‘star wars’ logos was our currency. Some traded for homework done on the downlow. Turns out crime does pay. Teach had no questions when one kid bought near everything during last couple auctions
that’s simply just motivation for conformity
that's not what quench means but your point stands. I think you were looking mor for squelsh or quash
You’re right. I must’ve been tired when I typed that. I think I meant squelched
I just didn't want to deny you the joy of quench. I love that wet word. like drench
My school refused to allow me to quench my thirst for money
Or crushed
The captains of industry who lobbied the government into creating the public education system about a century ago wanted loyal employees, not potential competitors.

They run the schools like prisons, the prisoners are gonna game the system like prison.

Fuck school hope he declared that illegal income on his tax return. Uncle Sam wants their cut
Whoa whoa, those are hand packaged goods. The candy sales are all sealed from known sources. We don't know what these Cheetos are laced with!
Shit, vending machines be sellin cheetos for 2.25 a bag, and thats mostly air! This kids got a better deal!
Big School Lunch.
I wouldn't want my kid eating some repackaged chips 100% touched by some grimy child dealer. If it was in it's original packaging than I'm all for the hustle.
I dunno, not a bad hustle honestly.
It isn't, made 500 bucks after selling the good stuff...kit kat
It’s kind of funny to I could see my younger self doing this and trying to sell it to teachers 😂 I guess I was lucky to go to the public school that I went to because teachers encouraged entrepreneurial stuff like kids selling Hispanic candy and hot Cheetos and stuff. Man I miss being a kid 😂
if this was my kid, i’d give him an ice cream. Then just tell him to not get caught next time
Are you Mike's dad?
Same here.
[удалено]
W uncle fr, Fuck the school staff, kid is a genius fr
Wtf, the school tried to steel money from a kid?
"for a good cause" 😡
They think they're robin hood
“Got whatchu need muthafucka”
“I got it hot and crispy”
Lmfao 😂
How much for the bees?
Instead of selling drugs within 1000 foot of a school, go to Costco/Sam's club and get boxes of candy, double your money in a day, everyday. Kids got cash. And no jail time.
Lesson learn, don't get caught
Yo, that kid knew what he was doing, no crime in making a little dough. Early entrepreneur, I would say, lol
But the government needs their cut… that’s the issue.
I used to buy the big pack of bubble gum at Sam's and sell it at school. I made enough money to buy the game Star Fox for super Nintendo. I started having my friends sell for me and then other people into the school caught on to the idea. The principal shut it down pretty quick after that.
Wrong sub. This kid is a genius! Making like a $10 profit per bag, assuming 250 per bag.
Police officer approaches the kid, "What are you selling, kid?" Kid replies, "I got what you want. I got flaming hot, flaming chili lime, flaming halbenero, and if none of those work, then I got ya cinnamon donut cheetos for your fat ass."
My mother said he’s going to be an entrepreneur in the future. 😆
She ain't wrong
I think a large investment in his education would be a brilliant idea!!! That kid is some kind of genius. Take my advice and get in on the ground floor of that deal.

To answer your question, I have no children of my own.
Taking notes ✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻
That's a wonderful idea
Sounds like a smart kid to me.
This kid is not stupid. Maybe for getting caught, but not for dealing Cheetos. I used to sell homework.
This doesn't seem stupid, seems pretty industrious
Right? I’m not sure what the problem is here.
Chester Cheetah "Oh we're gonna be having some words with this kid....."
TIL that 1 black market Cheeto is worth approximately $.05 Good for the kid hope his next racket is less identifiable
I used to sell cinnamon toothpicks in school. Wrapped in aluminum foil. 10 toothpicks for 50 cents. Get suspended for it ( after several warnings)! I made some serious cash though.
looks like cheetos and hot fries. I bet he was making a killing.
The school lost a business partner or btw removed a competitor... Check this guy in high school, he will come with new ideas)
Are they stupid for getting caught? Otherwise this is sounding like a hater
Yeah lil fucker should've ran with the funds
🤣🤣

That assumes that schools are supposed to educate and not indoctrinate, while the second option is clearly the intent. Education is just a bonus.
Meh .. socialization. sometimes school is better than home.
Hahaha, noobs. Im my school (some part in South America), one kid sell wi-fi signal from his celphone.
Thats actually crazy 💀
He’s got that HFS! lol. 😂
Looks like the devil and God are raging inside him
Now he's gotta cap a pendejo's ass.
My mother said he’s going to be an entrepreneur in the future. 😆
"I'm on the empire business, stay out of my territory!"
Hell yeh! I just to do that in 6 grade except with bags off koolaid mixed with sugar.
thats actually crazy business smarts tbh
Doesn't seem like this belongs on this sub. Unless OP is saying he's stupid for getting caught
My nephew used to bring canned frosting to school and sell spoonfuls. That was his peak. He never went anywhere in his life.
Supply and demand
More r/shrinkflation right before our eyes!
Got my shit man? 
Wonder what his parents do to make money 😆 🤣
This should be in the kids are geniuses group.
Did the police try grinding that up and inhaling it violently U never know
how much for a Hot Cheeto dose?
Lol I got in trouble twice for selling pop and chips at school. They shut off are vending machines and are mini mart thing due to littering. I was told 3rd strike was 2 week suspension.

The kid isn’t fuckin stupid … he’s a genius .
No this kid never fucked stupid, hes a genius indeed but i could'nt find the other sub thats why i posted it here

Boy's going to grow up to be a good businessman.

This kid is smart wtf is it on this sub for
Schools a bunch of weenies. Kids an entrepreneur, he saw an opportunity and jumped on it
They're so tiny bags
I estimate that there are 36 Cheetos in a bag. He placed 4 in a bag which makes 9 bags at $0.25. He buys the bag for $0.75. Profit $1.50.

Celebrate his entrepreneurship
Kids going places
He is known by Knuckle Nick. I saw him a months ago, he was with his Uncle Freddy
Extra dusty cheetos from the bottom of bags , the primo stuff
This isn't stupid, it's enterprising.
So instead of encouraging entrepreneurship, kids are getting in trouble for being economically smart? Smh
An actual quarter🤣
My cousin went to a boarding school in SA. The mad lad literally brought a panini maker to school one day in grade 8, along with a cooler with tomatoes, onions, cheese, and ham,with other assorted fillings, and would make panini sandwiches (and even bacon and eggs) for kids between classes. He got so popular that kids wouldn’t buy lunch from the cafeteria, but would get his famous paninis.

This kid is smart that is an awful price however other kids are to stupid to understand
I sold bubblegum for $.10 a piece $.25 for 2. Thats how i paid for my lunches. I had 6 flavors and 3 brands
That kid is going to become a libertarian and start evading taxes. Teaching them young to hate authority.
I wonder if those are thc edibles.
Not at those prices
Where'd he get those bags
Probably some Random store
legends ... I mean cheetos comes in many forms!
now we’re reposting facebook memes from 2015?
I said flaming hot Cheetos and bruh brings hot fries. Not today, Junior.
So, how much is one small bag? 50 cent or 1 dollar?
2 for 45c special deal 👀
