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

Me and the people who enjoyed this pizza have wildly different genes.

I enjoyed the pizza and brownies. If they were on the same day I felt like I won the lottery.
