Students would volunteer to bake stuff to sell at the dance to raise funds for whatever school would raise funds for. One time I volunteered to bake some cookies.

I used food coloring to make each batch a different color [Red, Blue, Green and Yellow] Then I&#8217;d take a little pinch from each color and twist or mash them together before baking. They came out looking tie-dyed. I called them &#8220;Gloids&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It is surprising what appears just beneath the surface when even the smallest scratch is applied.
