***go to larger grocery stores and fill up a shopping cart with pop and use their card to pay. They then sell the pop to the smaller local Arab stores***

I wonder how many folks know that originally 'pop' and snack chips and such were not eligible for food stamps. As a matter of fact, I didn't know that they now are eligible until fairly recently... what a rip off of good working people.

I remember when I was in high school and we were not allowed to have anything like soda or chips on campus. All of our food was made in the cafeteria. I remember clearly my sophomore year, they suddenly allowed us to have fountain drinks, but it was only Tropical Fruit Punch or Lemonade. We were so excited! No vending machines, Cokes, Sprite, etc. When I was a senior, they allowed only Seniors to leave campus to eat lunch and we used to ride up to the Grocery Boy Jr. to buy junk food and soda. We thought we were so cool.
