We sold the most WFC that year

When I was much younger, there was a year that my father coached little league baseball for my brothers team. As usual all the players had to sell the Worlds Finest Chocolate candy bars. My father made a bet with another coach that our team would sell more. So he needed to find an unique idea to sell the candy bars.

One Sunday morning, he work us up early and told us to get the candy bars because we were going to sell them all. My fathers idea was to stand in front of the local churches and ask the people to but the candy bars after they came out of the church services. He thought that they would be more willing to support the local baseball team after attending church with all the good feelings.

He was right, and not only did we sell all the candy bars, may of the older people who bought them couldn't eat them so the gave them back to us. We sold all our boxes and got to eat about four or five each. We did this for about three Sundays at different churches.
