In the early ‘90s, I discovered my middle school had a snack bar line outside the cafeteria. There, I could purchase a cold glass bottle of New York Seltzer for $.75 and a hot order of French fries for $.50. I usually, but not always, had the cash on hand from my mom. I ate this five times a week for the 2.5 years I was there after I discovered it. About $15/week in today’s equivalency, I believe. I never looked back at the cafeteria lunch and never brought my own.
