When you were in school, what were the grossest things they served for you lunch?

For me, it was definitely the corn dogs in elementary school.  I threw up on my desk twice after having them for lunch.

    I never at lunch at school.  In elementary school, I was two blocks from home.  In junior high we ate at the pizza place - $.25 for a slice and small soda, and in high school, I brought my lunch.

    Going home for lunch must have been nice.  I think I would’ve liked that.  I went to private school, so I was a long way from school.  My parents had to drive me or I had to ride in a car pool.  Even when I went to the public school for high school, I was still seven miles away.  I drove myself to high school, but there really wasn’t any place to drive during break to get lunch.  I got my driver’s when I was 14, so I drove myself to school starting the last half of my freshman year.  I live in the state with the country’s lowest driving age.

    It was all pretty gross; much I wouldn't eat. Sometimes I brought my lunch. 

    One of the grossest was ham & beans. Actually, your corn dog vomit stories just took me back to 2nd grade when this kid... ugh. I can't even type it. You get the idea. 

    I feel like throwing up now! Bad question for me. I should have scrolled past! 

    ;)

    All kinds of gross things come out of kids, lol.  I think everyone has vomit stories from school.  Throwing up on my desk wasn’t the worst place where anyone ever vomited in school.  We had flip lid desks in elementary school.  We lifted up the desk lid and put our books and stuff inside, but when the boy who sat next to me got sick, he opened up his desk.  I got kicked out of class for lmao.  I couldn’t stop laughing at it.

    I had a student throw up on my desk. It barely missed me.

    I took a sandwich from home during elementary school.  When I was lucky mother included two pennies in my bag so I could buy one of those big oatmeal cookies.  My bag included my sandwich and an apple, banana, or orange along with a paper cup so I could get a cup of water.  Almost everyone brought their lunch from home.  In high school I didn't really eat lunch.  I spent that 30 minute period along with the 30 minute study hall that went with it in the gym.  I spent three full periods in there.  I loved it.  I could not play basketball very well but got to call games in the girls gym.   I just read in the last few weeks that the gym teacher for whom I was an assistant died.  It made me feel unusually sad.

    I only took a sandwich on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  My elementary school served lunch on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so my parents preferred to give me lunch money on those days.  In high school, lunch was served every day.  We had an account for lunch which my parents paid.  The cost of my school lunches were based on how much my parents made.

    In elementary school, we walked home for lunch. It was a 1-1/2 hour break, so we always got something good to eat. In HS, I took my lunch. I couldn't stand the smell in the cafeteria, spoiled milk, but there were no other options. Mom put a tomato in my lunch once, and when I bit it, there was a worm. Kinda gross.

    I lived right across the street from my elementary school.  We considered the playground our back yard.  We never went home for lunch, though; mother worked.

    Yes. I only eat the cut up or sliced.

    If I eat tomatoes by themselves they’re always sliced.

    They didn't serve food in school here.  Well, except for "hot dog day".  But they had to stop doing that after my second grade year.

      “Had” to stop doing it? Why? What did you do, Shuhak? Which one of your shenanigans brought Hot Dog Dat to a screeching halt? Grrrrrrr.

    A likely story. 

    I’ll bet all the records are sealed because you were a juvenile, right?


    That’s convenient; a perfect dodge.

    I think I would’ve liked hot dog day if they were grilled.  I love grilled hot dogs but boiled hot dogs kind of trigger my gag reflex.

    Pizza is good, but I can imagine cheese pizza at school being pretty bad.  I’m picturing stale crust and not much cheese.

      Not only that, but the taste of the cheese might be or might have been the worst imaginable. Lowest bidder.
