Today, we're eating 100 years
of school lunches
by time traveling to every decade
to taste some of the best
and worst foods
ever served in a school cafeteria.
On top of that, some of the
foods are now banned
and illegal to serve in
school cafeterias.
Starting with the 1910s.
- That’ll be three cents.
- Thank you.
In the 1910s, a school lunch
usually consisted of
corn on the cob, potato soup,
bread, and some prunes.
Now before we eat this,
I feel like we're missing something.
Wow.
I love the fashion in the 1910s.
You're going to love the food
even more.
Let's dig in. Taste test.
Mmm.
Let that mouth do though mmm.
Actually, it's not bad.
You know, this was also the
decade that women were allowed to vote.
Yes! Girl power!
I would rate this decade two
stars out of five.
All right, let's move on to
the next decade.
1920s, here I come.
During this decade, alcohol
was actually illegal, but also
- an average school meal costs
-7 cents.
Thank you.
School lunches consisted of
beef stew, rice, pickles, and milk.
Now before we eat, this is
also the decade where school
buses were first introduced.
Let's dig in.
Finally, some meat.
ohh…
Wait, why do I hear some
sucking sounds?
What was up with that?
Oh, this rice is good.
I can dip my grilled cheese.
You know, the 20s are often
referred to as the roaring 20s.
This is when women started
wearing dresses showing their
shoulders, knees, and ankles.
was first introduced in the
cafeteria because milkmen would deliver
them fresh every day.
Mmm, that milk is good!
Y'all have any more?
Oh, the milkman's actually right there.
I think he's delivering some
milk to the bus.
Here, go, go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go, go!
Get him, get him!
Get more milk!
Mr.
Milkman! Gonna need extra milk?
Wait, where's the milk? Right here!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
I think I would break this mule leg.
What are we doing?
next decade.
Doobie Doobie
Doobie Doo Wop Wop
In the 1930s, a school lunch
cost 10 cents.
This was a decade of the
Great Depression
where families were living in poverty
and some even died of starvation.
And you won't believe what
people had to eat at school lunch.
Uh, what the hell is that?
We're in a Great Depression.
You're lucky to even get this.
Now, ten cents.
So a school lunch in the 1930s was
a raw onion stuffed with peanut butter,
vegetable broth, milk, and
some mixed veggies.
Before we actually eat our food,
we have a special guest who
went through the Great Depression
to tell us what that was like
and if the school lunch is
accurate or not.
Yeah, this is it.
This is what we got, and
it's pretty accurate.
All right, what should we eat first?
Oh, you always gotta
eat the vegetable broth first.
Okay, let's dig in doesn't
look too good
But what choice we got?
What is that?
Uhhh. Three, two, one.
What the hell is that?
It’s water. We use the water to
wash the vegetables and then
it turns into vegetable broth.
Pretty good, uh?
Back in the day, this was a delicacy.
You could only have
it if you could afford it.
In case you guys are
wondering, we're wearing potato sacks.
And is that actually what you
guys wore back then?
Oh yeah, everybody wore potato sacks.
They would use the fabric
from the potato sacks.
I used to love my potato sack shirt.
Now, on to my favorite dish,
stuffed onion with peanut butter.
You guys would actually eat that?
Oh, yeah.
I'm not gonna try it.
Bro, you try it, please.
I'm only doing this for you, guys.
Oh dude, no.
Am I actually doing this?
Okay.
three, two, one.
How would you guys eat this?
You ever been so hungry you
ate sleep for dinner?
When we were hungry, we slept.
Kids nowadays have it so easy.
Let's hope the next decade is better.
He wouldn't have lasted five
seconds back in my day.
Don't even know how to eat a
peanut butter onion properly.
Now, we're in the 1940s where
Coke was first introduced in
school lunches.
but was quickly removed
because during the time,
Coke had actual Coke as one
of the ingredients.
In the 1940s, school lunch
costs 25 cents.
Got some Coke?
Whoa!
♪ Who knew I would make it this far? ♪
♪ They hate it, they never believe me.
♪
The school lunch in the 1940s
consisted of
Spanish rice and eggs, hominy
grits, and milk.
Let's dig in.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Before we eat, you know a lot of kids
were sent home during this decade
Due to the funding drop from
World War 2. leaving a lot of
kids without food for lunch.
That honestly really is sad.
But let’s dig in.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This is so much better than
prison food.
Oh my god.
I don't want to eat anymore.
I mean if that doesn't tell
you that this food is good,
then, I don’t know what will.
Told ya.
You know this reminds me a
lot of kids actually fought
over food during this decade
because this was their only
meal of the day
And that's where the term
give me your lunch money
actually comes from.
Lunch money. Matter of fact, give me your lunch money.
Hey!
Not in my school campus.
Give me one second.
Just got to get over here
You get off, right now.
I think I need to go to the
nurse's office.
In the 1950s, a school lunch
cost 35 cents.
An average school lunch would
consist of a sloppy joe,
tomatoes, milk, and ice cream.
So we're outside eating
because this is actually where
the greasers ate.
I caught a sloppy joe.
I'm actually so excited to eat this.
Before you eat the tomato,
what's one part of the
vegetable you can't eat?
(Laughing)
Imagine if he finished the joke.
All right, let's actually dig in now.
I like this.
You guys want a bite?
You guys want a bite?
Whose idea was this?
I've never seen anyone just
eat tomatoes like this.
So an interesting fact,
Over 50% of the kids stayed
for a school dinner as well
due to the baby boomer phase.
where the population
dramatically increased.
Hence the term boomer.
Hey, thank you for the food.
Yeah, tell me about it, stud.
I got chills.
they're multiplying.
Oh, how was the food?
Electrifying!
Next decade.
in the 1960s
school lunch was increased to
50 cents because everyone's
favorite food was added to
the menu, pizza.
My lady and ladies.
The average school lunch at
the time consisted of pizza,
salad, jello, and apple juice.
I'm excited to eat this pizza.
you guys want to split it half for me
And you guys split the other
half. what if we just all
- take a bite.
- That seems more reasonable.
They had regular pizza, but
like square pizza is just
like more popular.
Hmm… Oh my God.
That mouth do though.
-Hmm… That’s actually good pizza.
-I know.
- It’s like better.
- Why don’t
they make pizza like this
anymore? Seriously,
Think about it. It's like the
school pizza now is so bad.
This was actually when the
lunchbox was first advertised
on tv and the moon landing happened.
It didn't happen.
Scientifically, it's just you
know, I'm gonna control myself.
Wait, you actually
- don’t believe in the moon landing?
- Woah!
Wait, do you actually not? I don’t.
You don't believe in a moon landing?
I think it's fake.
I think that when it costed
more money to fake it,
than to do it for real.
Agree to disagree.
The meat landing on that ass was real.
Hey, yo!
What do you think of the meal overall?
Well, the jello was good, the
pizza was good,
and ladies, you can have a pizza me.
In the 1970s, school lunch
cost 75 cents.
And it consisted of a
hamburger, fries, pudding, and coke.
This looks good.
This is the year when school
lunches became the most unhealthy.
Yeah, this is probably Alex's
favorite year.
Dang.
Dude, this pudding is good.
I don't think pudding would
be good for you, Alex.
Please.
You shouldn't be eating anymore.
Yeah.
No, no, I actually...
No, hey, hey, hey, hey, dude.
Barely fit in that outfit.
Dude, that pudding is so good.
There's actually a hole right here.
Actually, a button did pop out.
Alright, let's try the main course.
A cold cheeseburger.
How is it?
I love it. It's good?
Yeah, but it's a little bit red inside.
Yeah, it's a little too raw for me.
I don't know if I trust this.
Yeah, Let’s hope the next
decade's a little bit better than this.
In the 1980’s
school lunch cost $1. Thank you.
And they consisted of baked
chicken, mashed potatoes,
brownies, corn, and apple juice.
All right, so 1980s was
actually year of the jocks.
Yeah, I'm happy we
time travelled to this timeline
cuz give me them choc-bobs.
Yeah. Oh yeah, choc- bobs.
Oh! Hey! Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.
A few moments later...
Why don't you try the balls
later, and try some meat. How's that?
Pretty good?
Yeah, I'm gonna try the chicken.
That is one big chicken nugget.
Woah…
I know this is unhealthy
because this is really good.
I will say this, I know this
tastes good, but federal
budget cuts reduced school
lunches by $1 billion,
which is why in the 1980s
they had highly processed food.
Probably it's gonna give us
upset stomachs.
Wait, my stomach hurts.
I don't know if I want to
finish this meal after that.
did you guys hear that?
let's just go on to the next decade.
In the 1990’s, school
lunch cost $1.25 but
that's when the welfare
program came out so I ain’t paying.
An average school
lunch would consist of
McDonalds, Pizza Hut, or Taco Bell
along with a side dish
-and lemonade.
- This is what I
- eat everyday.
- No, that’s way
- too much food, Tanner.
- No, not enough.
Let’s dig in.
hmm..
i feel like this was
definitely everyone's favorite
school lunches but this is why everyone
- got obese.
- Unhealthiest? What
- are you talking about?
- This
wasn't served every single day.
i think it was only served
- on Fridays.
- Damn it.
We should probably stop eating
and go to the next decade
before we all get too fat.
i think it's too late for that.
In the 2000s, school lunch.
now skyrocketed to $1.75.
Let me get that number.
For $1.75, you would get mini
corn dogs, hash browns, a
pear, chocolate milk, and
fruit roll-up.
Oh, this is the OG fruit roll-up.
I remember this from first grade.
And corn dogs.
I used to trade the little
wieners for other people's corn.
Yeah, because I didn't like
the wieners.
I didn't like the wieners,
yes, but I liked the cornbread.
And it was always Sean who
wanted the wiener.
Going back to it, it was
definitely weird for someone
to accept a wiener.
Oh my gosh. I feel like I'm
six years old again. I know.
It's pretty good.
And as you guys can see, the meals
were slightly getting healthier
due to the alarming rates
of obesity in the 90s.
Glad I didn’t grow up in that time era because
You would be even fatter.
I will see a lot of kids
playing group roll-up chicken.
I actually want to play to try it out.
- You’re gonna face Alan.
- Okay.
And you're gonna stick the
fruit roll up in your mouth,
and you guys are gonna keep
eating it and the first person that chicken
out loses.
Go.
Yeah, let me join the fun. Let me join. Let me join.
(laughing)
Keep going.
- You’re not even close.
Save some room for me, guy.
I’m done!
I quit! I quit! That was way too close.
But ladies, I wouldn't chicken
out with you.
Let's move on to the next decade.
In 2010, which is actually
both of our years, school
lunch was around $2.50 for us.
And the average meal consisted
of spaghetti and meatballs, a
bread roll, green beans, and
fat-free milk.
And you guys might be
wondering why we're in the
school restroom
And it's because we've eaten
lunch quite a few times in here.
Yeah, we eat in a big handicap stall.
It was the most awkward thing
grabbing your lunch
Trying to find somewhere to
sit when there was nowhere to sit
So we would actually eat in
the restroom.
Yeah.
But alright, let’s try the food.
I'll try the bread roll.
Yeah, this is weird.
The spaghetti and meatballs
might look good
But they taste way too healthy.
Yes, the 2010s had the worst
tasting food
Because of how healthy they
tried to make it.
Just like back then, I'm
hungry, so I'm just gonna eat.
(Pooping sound)
Is someone taking shit?
Let's jump into the next
decade before that happens to us.
For this decade, school
lunches skyrocketed up to $5,
but usually consisted of a healthy
meat wrap, mac and cheese,
carrots, bananas, and apple juice.
And before we eat this meal,
we actually have a very
special guest here. A subscriber.
When you say this school
lunch is accurate, is this
something you've eaten at
school before?
This is pretty accurate, but
I feel like there's a lot
more options that could be
put on this plate.
And how much is a school lunch now?
$5.
Whoa!
Oh, oh, oh, you can buy a
hundred meals from the 1920s.
Or buy lotion with $5.
What do you want to try first?
What's your favorite dish here?
Banana.
Banana?
Yeah, I'm buying a banana.
Do kids make fun of you at school
if you eat a banana, if a
guy eats a banana,
or do you have to chop it
up and eat it with a fork?
Some people are weird about it.
All right, well, let's dig in.
I like this.
I wish this was around when
I went to school.
Oh, we just had cold pizza.
Now that we were done with our meal,
we had one giant surprise for
our subscriber.
All right, so in our last video,
we mentioned that we would be
giving away
a special surprise to a subscriber.
You can open your eyes.
You're joking, right?
This is yours. It's yours.
Actually?
Yes.
Thank you.
