10 Strange School Lunches From the 1960s We Used to Love

#ForgottenFoods #1960sAmerica #SchoolLunches Before school buses arrived and kids disappeared through the classroom doors, millions of American mothers were already in the kitchen packing lunch. A metal lunchbox, a sheet of wax paper, a sandwich made from whatever was in the pantry, and maybe a small treat tucked into the corner.

In this video, we're taking a trip back to those lunchboxes and counting down 10 forgotten foods and snacks that American kids took to school in the 1960s.
