Kids Try Brown Bag Lunches from 1900 to 2000

Nobody eats this.

I eat what's trending.

(playful music)

Looks gross.

That's terrible.

Why would you bring this?

I feel so bad for my parents

if they had to live like this.

It's pretty good.

It tastes. . .

like sadness.

I think it's how they made hamburgers back then.

When I first looked at this,

I thought it was an Egg McMuffin.

That's, mmm. . .

gross and kind of good at the same time.

I don't like it.

That's old.

Isn't this supposed to be a sandwich?

That's really good.

Is that Spam?

Eat it. Oh, God.

I would rather jump off a bridge than eat this.

(jazzy music)

I don't like this.

I feel like I'm trying something new and I'm liking it.

Thank you for the effort,

but I'm not really into this kind of thing.

This is a better lunch than I usually have.

Even better than the cafeteria.

Cafeteria lunch is cheap.

It's definitely not a sandwich.

Ew.

That's actually not too bad.

2016.

[Offscreen] The 1970s.

What?

Soda was back then?

What's Tab?

It tastes like Pepsi. Or Coke.

Or both.

I know what I'm eating first.

Pepperoni pizza.

Tastes like a unicorn threw up a rainbow.

Yeah.

This is good, but I wouldn't have the cheese in it.

But this lunch together is actually very good.

This is really soggy, and it's leaking.

It'll probably drip all over the place,

making the lunch ladies mad.

There's a little bit of junk food missing from this lunch.
