Students Reveal The SKETCHIEST Things Which Are Sold At School - (r/AskReddit)

our slash ass credit what black market existed in your school my mum owned a sweet shop and sweets were banned in our school as we had to be healthy meals then all that and so she'd constantly give me bags of sweets to smuggle in and so every day at dinner made an absolute bomb made an absolute bomb starts with candy dealing moves on to terrorism I try to give my kids a decent education but the ones who became domestic terrorists all by premix and ignore the chemistry we teach them the cafeteria not school run kind of just a cafe inside the school would charge three dollars for for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich so one girl kept the ingredients in her locker and charged one dollar when the school caught wind and shuts it down they tried to guilt us all by saying how the cafeteria was someone's livelihood and we were taking away from that but like four dollars for peanut butter the market adjusts this is tyrannical regulation school abolishes free market and democracy a porn ring kids would find their dad's VHS poorness or magazines and sell then to this kid then he'd turned around and sell it for profit funny thing is that when the principal caught wind of it and found all the porn in his locker but the money wasn't there the kid used the locker under his and hid it all in the bottom the porn hustler dude is now a silver security analyst I asked him at our reunion how much he thought he made back then he claims nine hundred dollars in four months selling hot cheetos and tortoise out of soccer bags hot chips were a surefire way to bank few fundraiser at out school school groups had stopped selling them for some health nutrition reasons so a big underground market popped up I used to sell bootleg movies in high school not the kind of bootleg where you take a video camera into a theater but I knew someone who kept getting early versions of movies that I guess are sent to theaters they had some message about it being for screening purposes only internal use I don't remember exactly and giving them to me might burn a bunch of copies and sell them to people for five dollars they were high quality and still early in theaters they're called screeners my school banned soda I used to keep a cooler full in my car and sell them for two dollars a pop two dollars a pop you must be from the Midwest Canada we must have gone to the same school posted about this before I sold porn mags I'd acquire after Japanese businessmen would leave them in their motel rooms which only begs the question why were you in motels with horny Japanese businessmen I was 15 and a housekeeper first job I had with a work permit paid for my first car : d teachers punished us by making us write I will refrain from extemporaneous vocalization during valuable pedagogical opportunities 50 or 100 times as homework so over the summer we would do up a few hundred sheets of that and we could sell use them as necessary that sounds like one of those overly verbose memes does anyone actually speak like that ecstasy and burned CDs that escalated quickly edit spelling JanSport bookbag strings i was in school when jam sport backpacks became popular at least in NYC they were and one of the things everyone loved where the strings on the zippers it became a huge problem where students were stealing strings off of others and either holding them or selling them the solution became using a lighter to partially melt your strings together so they couldn't be untied without breaking them leaving your book bag unattended anyway was the equivalent of leaving your car parked in the wrong neighborhood in 70s ators NYC edit just remembered I ran a short-lived market selling scientific calculators back in high school as well I actually found where the school store days and was stealing then little by little I'm not proud of it but my morals were very loosey-goosey back then that is the most specific weird thing ever money is money I guess in fifth grade I sold fairies to every single one of my classmates for $1 each I gave them names and backstories and drew little portraits of each then were toss them an invisible fairy and then collect from the next sucker our high school had an internet filter an enterprising friend of mine set up a freebsd server in his basement and put together some 256 millibars flash drives with an executable version of firefox could run directly from the flash drive without installs and our ssh client you could plug it in connect ssh then use the server as a proxy for all the firefox traffic and get around any website who wanted those flash drives were a hot commodity let me tell you you could set up in the library and just start casually browsing a band website and people would start coming up and asking how you could do it in eighth grade 2001 I got a playboy from my older sisters bf I cut out the nudes and sold them one at a time to the rest of the guys I knew a five dollar magazine turned into close on $50 I didn't get caught but a few days later another kid tried the same thing with one he stole from his dad's stash he was caught school tells us that dad is unusually pissed off about it turns out it's dad's favorite issue BC it was Cindy Crawford in the centerfold this is an actual problem with antiquarian books especially ones with maps PPP's positive participation points these were little yellow tickets that teachers handing out to students who were participating positively every month there will be class widened school-wide drawers for prizes the more PPP's you had the greater your chance of winning was didn't take long for kids to copy the templates in word and start selling stacks off ppp's used to do commissions and drawing naked people deep fakes in the past playstation 1 and 2 memory cards stuck on a boss want the treasures without having to beat the game on ultra hard there was a guy who in my great home for a fee would play any game and get where you want it to be then give you a memory card to copy over the save file naturally you had to return the memory card to keep the ball rolling for everyone the og pro gamer originally we only had vending machines in the fieldhouse so people would give jocks money to go get them snacks and sodas eventually it became sort of like a service with the feel course some kids mimicked it with junk food from the convenience stores and it became a black market of the rarest candies some kids were peddling stuff from Japan others from the UK it was a high stakes candy market of the best stuff ginger flavored Kit Kats head drops Maltesers blackcurrant chews and more eventually the faculty began to notice strange or goings-on and alerted the principal which found the whole thing rather amusing a few weeks later we had vending machines throughout the school but for that one semester it was a lawless land smart principal he could have done what many would even have done crack down on the sellers but instead he just undercut a market and dealt with the issue having undergone less hassle iodized salt and simple black pepper in the lunchroom I'm not kidding this was around 2004 USA our cafeteria coordinator was trying to do everything healthy and by government rules also no added salt bogus but whatever but she also took the pepper to kid in my school didn't really pack lunches as most of us got for reduced lunch I was pissed as they just boiled canned veggies and gave them to you in a bowl with the juice and wasn't going to stand for it I was also a huge a-hole in high school so I made a plan I bought salt and pepper shakers and put them in a zippy bag to carry in my backpack I broke them out at lunch every day and shared with about 70 kids we made it through for about three months and then they finally caught on who had them I got silent lunch detention in a separate room for a week and I made sure I put my salt and pepper out on my table every day but then when I came back to the normal lunch room like 30 people had salt and pepper shakers shakers everywhere and the coordinator was pissed oh it makes me laugh even today she still refused to put out salt and pepper but we all had it anyway it continued until I graduated from their source sort of makes sense but pepper I once started a Celt with salt I studied in a boarding school and we had a black market for a comps yes a cons kids would collect the a cons from the ground paint and shape them so that they spin like B blades the other kids would buy them to compete in the acorn battle which is similar to B blade that was unexpectedly wholesome mine had a couple I knew off all by a good friend of mine he made copies of school dance tickets and sold them at half the price school found out when the entire gym was packed for the semi-formal even though they only sold like 100 tickets and he got suspended next month he rented a community center for a night and ran his own unofficial school dance school admin tried to bust him for this as well but all they could say was not to sell tickets on school property he went down to the state's shopping with his parents often Canadian we live close to the border and bought cases of the pot that you don't see around our parts like all the obscure Mountain Dew or coke flavors and he also had boxes of full-size chocolate bars sold them out of his locker which was just outside the cafeteria for one dollar while the vending machines and CAF charged one dollar and fifty cents or two dollars for each made it about a month before they had the security stand within view of his locker to give him [ __ ] whenever they saw him selling something on top of that he also sold pot for his junior and senior year guy made Bank in school another one is the Fight Club that went on for a couple months where there was a large amount of gambling going on I think that one just kind of tapered off after people got bored they were smart enough to have that one off school grounds country school with a public park right nearby drugs and soda same dude too if you bought a soda from him during school he'd know you weren't a knock and would then sell you weed after do you want a soda you legally have to tell me if you want a soda if I ask in high school a kid on the wrestling team had parents who constantly went out of town on business so he drained their swimming pool and would host fight nights with the fights in the pool it was cool deterred ass he facilitates betting and made himself more money than the high school kid should have he tried to recruit anyone in the school who looked like they could hold their own in a fight eventually bands started playing at them and he started burning CDs of each events music they were printed in numbered so each one looked like the now that's what i call music cds but instead of now they said bt a source was in a band that was asked to play we declined edit he didn't empty and refill the pool for each event he emptied it once and it stayed empty but his parents wouldn't have noticed nor cared either way edit - it might have been called whoop that ass I dunno it's been a while [ __ ] this looks intense how bad did the beatings get not so bad it was all one-on-one fights and each fighter had to be willing to fight so it wasn't like a giant brawl or anything think cage fights but in an empty pool did the fighters get paid at all because something like this happens at my school and the fighter who wins gets a cut of the profits usually I can only assume so bubblegum and chewing gum it was in middle school huge huge supply for chewing gum down the road there was a little cafe that sold those five packs of gum for ten cents I walked in with a five dollar bill and bought as many as I wanted I sold each stick at 25 cents each and 50 cents for big red I made a huge profit people started getting jealous and I got into a few fights over the amount of gum I was selling finally the school caught on and told the store not to sell gum to students anymore and thus my days as a gum dealer ended only on reddit can you find someone as a gum dealer slime in middle school the school banned selling slime so people would sell in the hallways or under the table during class context I went to an international school where everyone is rich as duck so one day in first grade I brought some candy to school and this rich white kid offered me one euro for a 10 cent sweet this kept on happening for a week at that point I started buying more candy and bringing it to school I was filling my pencil case with candy and hiding the money I got from kids in a special rack that I made in my bag with a knife I carried this on for two years until one time my mom was cleaning my bag so the cut and put her hand in and to her surprise there was aprox 1,000 euros my parents beat me so hard I have never tried selling anything ever again geez they beat you for that I would have been proud of my kid for having such entrepreneurial talents I sold packs of batteries for when people's ti-84 stroke 83s were inevitably dead on test day I had a few hand-me-down 83 stroke 84 s that I rented out for tests classes and calculator checks also had phone charges not really black market but I hope that counts when I was in middle school B blade was hyped I was into it too and found out that bear our way newer ones in Japan but not here looked further and found fakes that looked almost like the real ones but way cheaper you know where this is getting bought some for me to create interest in them showed them the fake boxes all in Japanese so they thought it's real and bought a bunch of them I made something between four hundred five hundred euros in half a year I never got pocket money so I used into other people's maths homework on the bus for one pound oh man I was our high school black market my sophomore year I believe the school took all unhealthy snacks and drinks out of the vending machines candy soda so I stepped up and filled the gap until I graduated I started carrying around a backpack full to the brim with various full-size candy bars and sodas all of which I would sell for $1 the sodas were the real moneymaker I could get a 12-pack for $3 and make 300% profit on a good day I would generally make around $10 and usually at the very least $3 or $4 the school did give me warnings a few times when they did Locker checks and found several boxes of soda and candy bars but I just claimed they were for me and nothing came of it as a senior gift for my ski team the underclassmen gave me a creepy trenchcoat which to peddle my wares it was great the year after I left another kid on the ski team stepped up and started offering the same service I've been told makes me happy to have left something of a legacy the pilot g5 liquid ink pens you could sell them for $5 each all day I was the pen guy in my time pokemon cards now it's apparently drugs drugs are less expensive and all consuming his hobbies go compared to collectible card games as a Magic the Gathering Claire I can confirm drugs would be cheaper I don't know about black market but we had two places you could be during recess the gym or the playground during the winter the Gotha was the gym underneath the bleachers in the gym we legitimately had a Pokemon Yugi or gambling ring in which kids would put up their lunch money I later found out from one of the kids who ran this little exchange that it was actually heavily rigged shocker our school banned scented gel pens for some reason we ran that [ __ ] like a prohibition-era speakeasies for about three months well in college I happen to know all the people that could get me every drug imaginable like forget that we also had chemical engineering students one of which got caught making high-quality meth to pay his student loans Breaking Bad spiritual sequel confirmed drugs and lots of them you could get anything from weed to heroine high school used to sell pot inside dry erase markers color coded per price and nearly undetectable dude I used to do the same thing you just take the ink tube out and you can fit a few grams in that Beach my parents and teachers always wondered why I was 17 and always had markers on me dad found out one day when he realized there were two marks on the caps so he chewed it off and found the weed that day some people made a lot of money in middle school from selling slime there was also the obvious vape sellers but slime interests me more the fact that there are obviously vape sellers is crazy I'm not even that far out of high school but vapes were never a thing for us I was one of the first kids in my high school to have a scanner this was back in the middle nineties and people just didn't really have them my family did student parking passes were 150 dollars each I bought one in them scanned it and made duplicates that I would sell for $75 each they looked okay but the school never really checked them that good they just wanted to see the little thing hanging from your rear-view mirror in that it was the right color the teachers had a different colored one I stopped doing it after more people had parking passes than there were spaces in the lot we had an a cone ring in elementary school it was a rough time a corn ring energy drinks original monster that was the hit when I was in high school we had these sherbet straws called Pixy sticks chewing gum and any Trading Card we also had this gambling game that involved getting your coin as close to the wall as possible Lars poker with the serial number of dollar bills I would literally trade bills with my dad till I found one with the grip of aces took him three months to get curious took him 20 minutes to calm down after learning of my gambling with him like that took two minutes to let him know I had a net positive of around $80 he then proceeded to slip me bills with good number suits kids paid zero dollars and 45 cents for lunch but teachers paid one dollar and 25 cents seniors got paper trays and were allowed to eat anywhere on campus teachers would pay kids a dollar and get lunch delivered my bus driver in elementary school used to sell Jolly Rancher a lot of pops on the bus he wouldn't sell them until we were off school property the story was he spent time in prison we called him slaughter he had a deep scar that went down the right side of his face blow pops no that's not an autocorrect thing blow pops the candy suckers with gum inside this was high school we were kind of sheltered Silly Bandz kool-aid gummy bears it started out in middle school with a single friend of mine selling them in little ziplock bags for about four bucks or so in high school his older brother the cook would cook entire pot holes and give my friend in his friends the distributors hundreds to sell a different high schools in the area some sold 200 bags in a day I've tried them twice or so and I must say they're pretty delicious the quality improved tons over the five years this went on as well whoa you made it to the end you're ducking Beast thanks for watching mate make sure to smash that like button and subscribe for more high
