This has become a tradition for our little family. Snacks to eat while you watch General Conference. The catch is you don't get one of those snacks until a speaker says the word on the front of the container. We choose different snacks and different words every year. Here is a break down of this years line up:
God - cheese cubes
("Heavenly Father" counts too)
children - chocolate chips
("child" or "kids" counts too)
Jesus Christ - cookie
(This is going to be a popular one so I cut them into 1/4s)
Joseph - fig newton
(Doesn't necessarily have to be Smith, any "Joseph" will count)
gospel - fishy crackers
baptism - fruit snacks
family - grapes
prayer - M&Ms
service - mandarin oranges
missionary - chocolate covered raisins
("mission" counts too)
thankful - strawberries
(cut those into 1/4s too, and I'm thinking "grateful" will count too)
testimony - vanilla wafers
(with a little Nutella to dip them in!)
* NOTE * Just from past experience, certain words will get eaten up completely while other words will end up never being said at all. So when a container gets emptied, the kids get to pick an item that isn't getting said and dump those treats into the one being said a lot.
So no, my kids will not eat 100 cookies over the course of 2 days.
E. Mae's suggestion: If the prophet says the word, you get 2 pieces, if someone else is speaking, you only get one. (Made me smile.)
