I was in grammar school in the 50's. There was no cafeteria, or meals offered, so we all went home for lunch. My mother always had a bottle of Nehi cherry waiting for me.
Someday, my friend and I went to Woolworth’s for lunch, or sometimes we went to his house (until we decided to bake a Chicken soup cake in his sister’s EZ Bake Oven, then he couldn’t go home for lunch) or my house. Most of the time Brown bag lunch...PB&J, PB&Marshmallow, Meatloaf, P&P and other sandwiches.
