How Many Mini Snickers Bars Have You Eaten?
From Anisa Schardl the Candy Monster:
Candy appreciators,
You may have noticed that Easter blew by with no threatening emails about donations for candy. This did not stop us from making a kill at the post-Easter candy sales. Not only did we get tons of candy, but it's the good stuff: twix, snickers, rolos, york peppermint patties, and reese's that happen to be wrapped in pastel-colored wrappers.
Unfortunately, the amount of money that has come in does not quite match the cost of this candy. Therefore, we are currently operating with a you-get-what-you-pay-for policy on a rolling basis. That is, when money comes in, candy will be put out. Simple as that.
Think about this: every mini snickers bar costs about 10 cents. How many mini snickers bars have you eaten?
You give is the money, we'll give you the candy. Think of it as ransom.
