Jewlord probably just wanted to bring more money to his shitty school store. Our class entered the school right when they took soda out of the vending machines in favor of 'healthy' options so there was a market to fill

I bought big bags of hundreds of sour Warhead candies and sold them 1 candy at a time for 25 cents out of my backpack

I also would let people copy my math homework daily for 50 cents a pop

this was in the early 90s mind you so our quarters were worth a lot more back then

Used to buy Pokemon cards for pennies at school and resell to brainlet church kids whose parents didn't let them play Pokemans.
