In the early fifties bread was wrapped in double wax paper. Finish the loaf of bread, shake out the crumbs, fold the wrapper in half, slice down the middle with a knife, wrap four sandwiches. Eat sandwich at school hours later after no refrigeration.
Yes! Our school didn’t have a cafeteria - everyone brought their lunch. Just think of the horror!! Bologna sandwiches with MAYO sitting around unrefrigerated!
We also drank from the cooler hose.
Grandmother would lock us out of the house while she watched her “stories.” Even in the dead of summer in Phoenix. Today I’m sure that would get a visit from CPS.
