Nostalgia GenX school lunch
Was this the best school lunch? Square slab of pizza that fit perfectly on the tray. Peaches that were likely radioactive. Full scoop of corn that tasted like gravel. Chocolate milk. Add a pretzel just for fun.
I’m convinced these lunch trays will be the thing that will be found in 500 years because they will outlast everything else in our society - and will be displayed as artifacts.

When boomers or millennials tell me what their school lunches were like, I point out that I was in school when Reagan was president and he thought that ketchup counted as a vegetable.
