<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8633616, member: 100459"]Thanks for everyone's entry. It brought me back to my very young age. When I was about 11, we were living in Castroville, California. There was a kid's show where they auctioned off a lot of fun stuff. Instead of money, your bid with a certain brand name bread wrappers. My mother contacted all our neighbors and members of our church to get the bread wrappers. We had tons of the wrappers when we went to the show. My brother and two sisters and I divided the wrappers. We had enough wrappers to "buy" everything that was auctioned. The producer told my mother not to come back to the show, that we weren't fair. My parents thought about a lawsuit but thought better. Our lawyer said we would win, but it wouldn't be worth it. Anyway, the next month, the show was cancelled. I don't ever remember what we got.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
