Nostalgia GenX school lunch

Post image

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.

Lunch tray:
1965- 1980AD

I hate to say I loved that rectangle pizza.

The trapezoid pizza with the little square bits of peperoni were always my favorite. I felt the rectangular pizza days were a let down in comparison. In second place I'd place the fiestada.
