*Exact* same thing here in Chicago - sports team, peanut M&M's only. So glad to know I'll have a taste of home when I move. :P

When I was in high school up in Buffalo, I had to sell candy bars to raise money for photo paper for my photo class. No lies. I totally thought those kids were legit.

for about three years, i've seen this one group of kids come in to cars on the 1/9 line, and say something along the lines of "we're selling m&m's to pay for our school's spring break trip to rome, italy." it always struck me as such an odd come on- i mean, it is more original that "we're selling to pay for basketball jerseys" or whatever, but i mean, they must really like going to rome. because by my count, they been there a few times.
