A few groups have done RC sales around here. Apparently Royal Crown Cola isn't available everywhere. It's a good money maker but I wouldn't suggest it for smaller kids to do mostly because I oppose children selling things. But one thing you have to consider is these drinks are sold by cases. RC does the 20 oz bottles for $15.00 and they are sold in cases which someone has to lift. They are heavy! Our little league baseball sold them one year. I opted out for my 2 boys because the money was going toward the All Stars for the older kids. I just bought a couple of cases, though I don't let my kids drink them but very little, I lugged the crates in my car, out of my car, and in to the house. Then a few days later there was the empty crate. Later I found out I was supposed to have turned it in either to a local store or somewhere where RC sales. I thought it was more trouble than it was worth but I think they made around $1000.00 and our 8th grade made enough money for their dance with money left over. So it is my experience that the profits are good, but there is a lot of leg (back) work to it. If you wanted to buy some up and do them at a function I think it would be much easier.

Would you really want to promote sugar and caffeinated products to small children. Like it isn't hard enough to sit still and pay attention in class. All these obese children and here is Pepsi and Coke doing school fundraisers, wow. I've heard enough.

Does anybody do this at their school? If so, is it a huge headache or is it something a new PTO should do? Thanks!
