Plus, my manner of presenting - one dum dum each child then "wait, a second, what's this?" or something along those lines as I then handed each child two of the following: snickers, butterfinger, baby ruth, malted milk balls, starburst, and skittles. I tried to do one of the non-chocoalte and one chocolate, but that stopped after a while since I had way more chocolate items than non. Anyhow, $48 spent on candy and all that's left after brother and roommate hit the leftovers are the 113 dum dums that were left after passing out one to each child.

It's the slimebags who hand out one single dum dum who are in error. ;p ***113 dum dums*** Got any pets? That's about all they're good for.
