In the days before take aways and coffee shops everywhere, lunch was often sandwiches and snacks in a Tupperware container. What did you call it?

@SomeMichGuy The most bizarre lunch I remember was the boy in my class who had a cold steak and kidney pie between two cream crackers.

@SomeMichGuy I think he got a similar response from everyone else

That sounds odd and slightly scary. Was it normal or a one-time thing?

Lugwho · 61-69, M

@SomeMichGuy Lol, nothing remotely normal about it.

@Lugwho I was literally laughing/crying at your last response!

It's sort of like saying

A "Whatcha got today?"

B "...frog sandwich."

[sandwich moves, leg sticks out]

A "Ummm...your frog seems alive."

B [frowning] "Yes, it does."
[Takes a heavy textbook and hits the sandwich a great SMACK echoing through the now-silent lunch area]
[smiling now] "Problem solved; thanks for that. Mind passing the salt?"
