When I was grade school and HS we were allowed to leave and get our own stuff we generally didn't have to deal with some government crap. Though I spent two years in private school and we got catered food except on Fridays when we could go out and do what we wanted.
In early grade school I lived close enough to home from school to just walk home and make some lunch for myself then meet up with friends and chill out afterwards.

One of the kids in my class around 7th or 8th grade was a crack dealer. One of his boys just started eating the sandwich my mother made for me. We started fighting and nothing really happened. We got suspended and ended up being friends in high school.

Back on topic, the Thanksgiving break lunches were pretty sought after.

me too, but it was just public school in the mid eighties, we also had the option to work with the lunch ladies. I did just so I could get free lunch and extras and I would pocket my lunch money for the corner store

Pretty sure it was mostly because it's played on hard floor and sometimes the kids would crack their skull from falling or get concussions from headshots.

[Anonymous No.11705759]

Invert your list, faggot. McDick's on top? More like top-shelf bougie lunches like sushi and charcuterie. Home-packed lunches were the only truly patrician options aside from the open campus in the last year of high school.

None of us hurt and we used to really whale on each other. You should have seen us doing frisbee, we'd launch those things at each others heads full speed and with excellent targeting. If not paying attention you'd get hit. Sometimes a stupid bird would fly in the way and get fucking nailed. None of us targeted birds but shit happens.

[Anonymous No.11705829]

Stupid birds would get hit then a bunch of feathers would fly around and thing would be stunned, hobble around for a few seconds then fly off. It was pretty fucking funny.

I found out recently that the highschool I went to got super strict about food. The school store isn’t allowed to sell candy bars anymore and students can’t bring in any beverages from outside of school, like coffee.

When I was there some students would leave to buy rotisserie chickens or order pizza and have it delivered to the school entryway

It got real old pretty quickly. Didn't help that I got a bit hard when it did happen. Feel like it was giving him the motivation to keep targeting me.

Where I went, the kids who were too poor for real food but not poor enough for a free school lunch would shake up an instant ramen brick in the bag and eat it.
I had no idea ramen was meant to be soup until I started watching anime.

I was always jealous of my peers who had boxed lunches with plain white bread sandwiches because the school food in elementary was just microwaved packaged pizza bread or tiny packaged cheeseburgers with the extremely occasional tater tots and the lasagna and christmas cookies on special occasions
