Why in the world would you buy your kids so much stuff at a baseball game?! Is this all they are going to eat for the next two weeks, so you don't mind spending an arm and a leg on it? Geez!
(Ok, maybe I'm just bitter because my mom was always like, "Ha! If you think I'm spending $6 on that hot dog you are crazy! You should have ate before you got here!")

well if it makes you feel any better, all those kids are going to grow up to be those old fat bald men at professional games on weeknights drunk as skunks with weird costumes on that the ESPN guys make fun of.
The issue of keeping the kids happy at a game though I can partially understand. I mean you pay so much just for the ticket to get in, you'll do anything to keep the kids quiet. Then again, its very sad that FOOD is what keeps them happy. Maybe thats America's problem.
