I would've loved 1910...bringing my own five course lunch to school

@ryancantcook

Grilled Cheese with a slice of bread on the side is crazy😂

@ProfGoofenshmirtz

all of these looked 10x better than the actual school food

@jenniferwilson9579

Fun video! Coke was never offered as a drink, only milk when I was in school in the 1970’s. Corn was a common and popular side veggie.

@TeddyStrongBear

In the 70s and 80s, none of the public schools served coca-cola or any other carbonated drinks. You had a choice between white or chocolate milk. They also included apple or orange juice during breakfast. Also, cheese pizza with fries or tater-tots were a daily option, the other main dishes were offered on specific days.

In Singapore throughout my school years from the 2000s to 2010s, our cafeteria just has a bunch of mini stalls with different cuisines. We had the choice of chinese, indian, malay, western food. A drink stall, pasty stall, noodle stall. The prices usually ranges from $1.50 to $4 for a meal.

@SSJfraz

I like how the 1910 lunch is infinitely healthier than the school lunches of today.

@sheronlee152

I was a child in the 50's and went to a country school where a couple old lady's cooked our lunches. Yum! Good stuff. Loved ❀their peach cobbler. Speaking of tomatoes , one year they bought cherry tomatoes from my grandma.

@ryancantcook

Schools eliminate processed food (proceeds to give processed baloney and cheese)

@prideofdurham4776

My school meals in the 1960s were superb. A thick stew followed by chocolate sponge in a white sauce were just one of my favourites.

@rhondadupras2477

My Mom and grandmother cooked in the schools for years 1950s and 1960s and they always got compliments about how good their food was.

@vanessalumbra9409

My mom made chipped beef and gravy on toast all the time.  You are supposed to rinse off the salt on the chipped beef before you cook it.  The salt is a preservative as it is in a jar on a shelf.  The salt makes it shelf stable.  Rinse it off!  Lol

@kt420ish

I was in school from the early 90s to the early 2000s. We never got anything from McDonald's lol. The fruit cocktail is accurate. And we also were served something different every day in grade school. And in high school we just went in line and you could buy whatever you wanted. French fries, pizza lasagna, cheeseburger, a cookie, etc.

@YOSSARIAN313

In some small towns some schools get food made that is isnt frozen very similar to 60s. I taught at a school  that didnt use a third party vendor because it was in the middle of nowhere. The cafeteria was run by 5 mexican ladies who made homemade quality food two meals a day. Even the teachers  ate there regularly because the food was actually good. Their posole recipe was amazing. It was also free for students and teachers

Raised in Alabama in the late 40's and early 50's we had wonderful lunches. Fried chicken  , okra ,and potatoes . Ham and sweet potatoes everything was really good! I am sure there were some things we didn't care for but overall it was great . This was Elementary school.

@outofmyelement932

I was born in the early 60's and I ate school lunches for most of my elementary and jr. high years.  I can say we NEVER had soda.  Ever.  And milk was always in those hard to open wax board cartons. As I got older they DID add in chocolate milk as an option.  Other than that - and the fact that we used to get 1 chocolate chip cookie for dessert on occasion, those meals look pretty true to form.

@bobjones4901

As an immigrant kid from Taiwan in the 1970's, it was a shock going from delicious nutritous bento boxes to cold pizza slices, jello, a bite of mushy salad. I always chose chocolate milk for the only solace I had.

@KS0102

Chicken a La King was a common lunch menu main dish in the 1970s.   Also I never received a Coke with my lunch. It was always milk.

@ShowtimeSynergy12

I’m an xennial. I was in school from the late 80’s-very early 2000’s. We had Salisbury steak, pizza, burgers, lasagna, chicken nuggets, bosco sticks etc
 mashed potatoes, fruit cocktail, vegetables, pudding, chocolate/white milk. We never had McDonald’s in the 90’s. That happened when you had a doctor’s appointment and your parent stopped by there to get you food to take with you when they dropped you back off at school. I duno where y’all went to school, but this didn’t happen lol

@terrig7006

I totally remember the square pizza being introduced when I was in elementary school in the 60's! The crust was always a little too thick and bready, but it beat out every other entrĂ©e hands down! 🍕
