+1.
I usually hold the bowl out and tell the kids how many they may take.
And if there's a line and kids are holding it up by dithering, I do a countdown, "Three seconds and then I choose for you -- 3, 2, 1." Just like my own kids.
Yes! This is my only objection to having them pick. I usually still let them do it, but I have to start pushing some kids to make a decision. It's kind of hilarious. The way some of them stare at the bowl with furrowed brow, you'd think they were selecting their spouse, not "Kit Kat vs. Snickers"
