“Yeah, I would have been the kids who had the black-market business in-school selling it.”

I got busted in the 3th grade for selling cinnamon oil toothpicks for nickle apiece in school. Stinking Principal called my mother and reported my unsanctioned business and informed her of my $3 profit.

Cinnamon oil toothpicks - that used to be a rite of grade school like shooting marbles in the springtime. Thanks for the reminder.

What killed my cinnamon toothpick business in elementary school was the Principal announcing at an assembly that you would get brain cancer from them...even just one. After the assembly the school staff retreated to their lounge for a relaxing smoke.
