It's a fund drive. If the popcorn was priced appropriately they wouldn't be raising funds.

To me the bigger problem is that kids who can't sell it are treated as though they should've tried harder when the sales are mainly determined by their parents and other outside circumstances.

My parents made knock on all of the doors in the neighborhood, I learned a lot about sales and rejection

Which can be a valuable experience, but without guidance can also be a really negative experience for some kids

As an adult I have zero sales skills and don't handle rejection as well as I'd like, so in my case it wasn't all that helpful despite what I learned
