Can You Believe It?



I know. I can hardly believe it either. Those are break apart cookies, purchased by me, under duress, for a school fundraiser. Mostly people support the healthy snacks/healthy lunch efforts. Except sometimes I do have to endure snide comments when different classes or the PTA decide to do something like a Little Ceasar's Fundraiser. Whatever.

So I decided that I would support the team and buy Little Ceasar's for the fundraiser so the fourth grade could afford to go on their yearly camping trip. Even though I don't even have a fourth grader yet.

So I bought some personal pizza kits, which we used at Declan's birthday party (and beyond--I think they bred and multiplied in the freezer) and some of these break apart cookie dough things.

The kids love them.

Their flavor is. . .unique. In fact, Eamonn was eating them and said, "Hmmm. What is that I can taste? I can't quite put my finger on it."

Me: "Chemicals?"

Eamonn: "Yep, that's it."

Truly, you can taste the chemicals. Obviously, I won't be buying them again.

And maybe next year we'll grow wheat grass and sell it for the fundraiser instead.

I'm kidding. They can sell whatever they want. I just won't buy it. And when everybody else's kids at school start to glow from eating this crap, I'll just smile smugly. Because that's the kind of fella I am.

I've stopped buying the stuff and started handing over a check for a small donation, of which they can keep all 100%.

You wouldn't believe how the kids and their parents don't quite get it.

I heard the greatest advice when it comes to food the other day: If it won't rot, don't eat it!

Eww. Chemicals is right. Those cookies are worse than frozen pancakes (not that I've ever been crazy enough to try them).
