In elementary school back in the 1950’s, I would stuff those awful stewed tomatoes into my empty milk carton because the school principal would stand over the trash cans to check our trays.
LOL ! I remember they would have ice cream as a treat but you had to clean everything off and I got ice cream but didn’t eat some of the food and got into big trouble. This was in grade school.

Sounds like my elementary school! Only for me, it was some awful sweet white rice and raisin concoction that I couldn’t even gag down! Unfortunately, we had glass milk bottles, so there was no where to hide it.
In sixth grade I had a mean principal. She would stand watch in the cafeteria. Many of us would stuff red beets into milk cartons... until one day she started checking milk cartons. The we would wrap them into napkins and stuff it into our pockets. Made a soggy mess. That principal would make kids wait out the entire lunch period in the cafeteria until they ate everything on their tray.
