Thanks for your comments! It was such an embarrassment as a kid, but now it's one of those memories I'll keep and cherish forever. Food is like that, as is doing something unique or bizarre - like taking a stand. Don't you think?
Bring on the Yummy Earth lollipops! (And the cheese and aebelskivers - are you considering putting those in the bags? ;-))
LOL! That was funny. The past two years I gave out Yummy Earth lollipops. The older kids are NEVER happy, but the little ones love it. It makes me feel *slightly* better.
As an adult, I can appreciate your dad's efforts but as a kid, I would've chucked those raisins in the bushes for taking too much space in the T or T bag (actually, I think unwanted candy was 're-treated'). Kudos to him for at least trying, although a brick through the window is a harsh trade-off.
I would love to hear if other people have come up with alternatives to candy treats.

I loved this article! My husband also remembered being handed orange slices after the game. I think I will do this next season (handing out fruit instead of the Rice Krispie treats)!
Lindsay, please tell me that you're kidding ... Actually, I had a friend who told me that corn chips were healthy because they're made from corn, so nothing surprises me anymore. Common sense trns out not to be common at all.
