Another update - the school will be selling 'chocolate treats' during the run up to Easter!

wonders if the school would be miffed if your DS under cut them

OP I really think you should encourage the initiative your DS has shown -good for him If there is a market then there is a business opportunity and he spotted it :T

When I was a kid oh so many years ago, rainbow crystals were the big craze. You could buy it by the quarter in a bag from the sweetie shop. Anyway my mate and I decided to make a bit of dosh by buying a bag of ordinary sugar and adding some lovely food colouring :rotfl: Made a bomb until the bright kids sussed what were doing

Maybe the school should encourage this business spirit rather than quosh it - maybe a day where they can bring in all the best bogof bargains they can find and sell them to all the poor kids not allowed anything with sugar in it;)

oh and after a childhood of rainbow crystals and our very own version I am pleased to say I still have all of my own teeth

Yeah...but what size are your hips? :rotfl:

Just kidding. There used to be a baker's van that came round our school at break time, I still remember the cream cakes even now. And I was a size 8-10 then!

I only got fat once I started dieting. :rotfl:

Sorry OP, completely OT.

OMG..wetting myself loling at this thread. Total overreaction by some parents, and the Op's son.

I happen to know of a child who back in her primary school days used to charge the other kids 50p to watch her eat earthworms.

I am still alive! (kinda!)

A girl in my class (last year in primary) used to show the boys her knickers for 50p and her bare bum for a pound. I kid you not. She used to go home loaded every day, at least until the Headmaster found out.

In your position, I would be subbing him to undercut the school. After all, it cannot be wrong to sell the same product as the school does.

Begs the question how far that business went in the end :rotfl::rotfl:

I used to scratch off the 'C' from my pink 'Pill' tablets and sell them as... well... not The Pill.

I also used to sell ciggies (30p in my day).

In the grand scheme of things Pepsi is pretty tame.
