Because it's the only time we get excited about spending $8 on popcorn and $12 on cookie dough. My daughter came home with the fundraiser packet and I was like yeah buddy I'm buying the mega popcorn bucket. My wife looked at me like I lost my mind. Worth it for that smile though.
This is peak dad energy and I'm here for it. We get excited about the weirdest stuff now.
Cookie dough fundraisers are the worst because it's actually good and then you're stuck eating half of it before you can sell it. My daughter sold like 3 boxes and we consumed 5.
Honestly the fundraiser comment hit too hard. My daughter sold like 8 boxes of cookie dough last year and I was out here acting like she just closed a million dollar deal. The hype is real.
I laughed way too hard at the $8 popcorn comment because it's so true. But also why are we so willing to overpay for this stuff when it comes from school fundraisers? Something about supporting the kids' activities just hits different.

This is so true. My oldest just came home with a fundraiser packet and I was calculating how many wrapping paper rolls I need to move to break even. Spoiler alert: you never do.
Wait you guys are getting excited? I'm just trying to survive the month of the fundraiser without losing my mind. But yeah the markup on that stuff is insane.
