Wow! I went to catholic school and totally forgot about this aspect of it. And weoples! Wtf was that all about haha. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. They were really getting us ready for capitalism at its finest.
I never had my kids participated in school fundraisers after the crappy prizes we got as kids. As a parent learning how school fundraisers are crappy items sold to families and friends for funds that don’t truly help the kids themselves.
Looked up school fundraisers and found your vid. I didn't even know the weeples was a thing during that time period. Like never ever heard of them. Now i'm wondering if it was geographic or because you were in a Catholic church?
Thanks for watching! Each rep from different fundraiser companies would choose to use either Weepuls, or some other super cheap bonus item that would motivate kids. Some didn't use any bonus prize - it all depended on how they chose to structure their fundraising pitch to the schools. So it was up to that specific rep to use them or not. In my area, during this time, Weepuls were just super popular. They were used at a lot of Catholic schools but public schools would have used them too. Fundraising companies still do this technique but Weepuls are no longer the thing. It's possible if you had fundraisers growing up, the person organizing your program just didn't offer bonus prizes or they just weren't as memorable as our beloved Weepul. Cheers!
This whole video felt like an introduction to a long form documentary. Compelling! Left me wanting more.
Thank you for watching!
Weoples, more like puffballs with eyes and one accessory💀
6:04 Hated that.

We watched this at a party where two of the guests had to do weeples growing up. It was just the video we wanted to watch.
I love to hear that!
Hi Kevin, my cousin is "JR" I remember you from back in the day... great videos man!! Keep it up! Also, you're a legend for finding the weepul guy 😂
Hey! Thank you! I appreciate you watching! Cheers 🍻
I was the weeping-less student in uniform on dress down day every year. My mom refused to sell magazines for me
For me it was selling Christmas cards
