At the table

What survives a piñata

A piñata wants wrapped gum. Twist wrapped pieces and tube packs hit the floor sealed. Loose gumballs do not.

For goody bags, count units instead of pieces. A box of 36 tubes or 36 cigars puts one in each bag for a class and leaves a few over.

Mix sour with sweet on purpose. Cry Baby tubes are extra sour, and not every guest will thank you for one.
