This was the only thing that kept me going. It was what I looked forward to after finishing a long row in the hot sun. It was my motivation to keep going. I am talking about the snacks. The snacks were amazing!
Every day, one of the chores that one of the detasselers had, each for the boys and girls seperately, was to fill the snack cooler. It was the best job because you were able to pick and choose whatever snacks you want and fill the cooler with your favorites. At the girls house, there was a huuuuge stash of all sorts of snacks and sweet treats. Along with the snacks that Greg and Barb provided for us, many people brought and donated food for us. There was trail mix, Oreo’s, a variety of granola bars, fruits, fruit snacks, and soooo much more.
Referring back to the snack cooler, the girls and the guys both had their own cooler to fill. All the coolers, including the sandwich coolers, were then put into the van that would park near the bus. That van was always a happy sight to see. It contained all 4-5 coolers of food, and 1-2 pitchers of Gatorade for us. After a couple rounds, you’d stop and grab a snack of your choice. I don’t even want to think of how many Oreo’s I ate last summer during detasseling!
During lunch, all of us detasselers would gather round the van, sit on our tiny gallon water jugs, and eat as many snacks as we could. I will forever be grateful for the snacks of detasseling.
