    "The metal lunch box was a good advertising tool because it was reusable and an easy item to carry around. They were extremely popular, many people wanted them."

    I remember a green lunch box just like this one, but a paper sack was easier. Didn't last long. School lunches at the cafeteria were so cheap. Not worth it unless you were a picky eater, which I wasn't.

    In the lower grades my mother would always tie the lunch money (sometimes less than a quarter) in the corner of a handkerchief so I wouldn't lose it.

    Some of the lunch boxes we had as my Winchester logo would get you suspended from school now with all the PC mess. Society had turned into a joke there, I still have never personally met anyone infavor of the PC mess.
    Maybe 1 yrs back but she came to a fast change of heart when I suggested we go for a walk and to her to a bad neighborhood to do so she threw a fit to leave as she said we would be mugged or worse, oh the reality of life hit her hard.

    No. In elementary school, we had free lunches. In high school, we did too, but I went to a restaurant. At various jobs, I either used the vending machines or bought off of a lunch truck. Sometimes, I'd bring some fruit or a Lunchable. In EMS, we spent a lot of time in restaurants.

    Origin of "Passing the buck"

    upload_2019-3-21_8-22-28.jpeg

    "In order to avoid unfairness the deal changed hands during sessions. The person who was next in line to deal would be given a marker. This was often a knife, and knives often had handles made of buck's horn - hence the marker becoming known as a buck. When the dealer's turn was done he 'passed the buck'."
