I used to hide mine. I could peel an orange in my pocket, me.
Times have changed. My son ran a profitable little business buying them cheap and selling them on like a mobile tuck shop (it's against school rules, so "allegedly"). Loads of kids in his school are doing it now (allegedly) so he's stopped. -

When I was young there was a girl at one school nearby who did the buying and selling on sweets thing, against the rules apparently.
She got attacked for the money and sweets, quite badly in fact, and ended up in hospital. The headmaster said it was her own fault, for breaking the school rules, and didn't do any investigation beyond that.
It was one of those defining moments, as you grow up, when I realised that some people really should not be in such positions of authority.Comment

Soon after that I gave up on the ability route and went down the greasing scum bag way and have found my rise to be meteoric to say the least.Comment
