I would buy bags of candy at the local mini mart and sell it at school for two and three times the price. It was a great racket. Of course I was fat and ate free candy all day, but it sure was fun.<\/p>\n<p>This article today was one of the lead stories at CNN.com &#8211; Read the full story about The Great Skittles caper.
