When I was in elementary school, we used to buy five-packs of Now and Laters for a nickel and sell them for a quarter at recess. In fifth grade, we realized we could make an additional 5¢ per pack if we just stole the Now and Laters, and so we did. Later, we sold drugs.

    I used to buy comic books and “rent” them to my younger siblings to feed my comic addiction.

    I think it was like 5 cents, but back then we called this “capitalism” so it was ok.
