Food Theory: DON'T TRUST Your School Lunch!

The “fries” that are shaped like smiley faces are god tier when it comes to school food

Matpat definitely seems like the guy to unironically remember the exact names of 5 school bullies for years

Who else is watching this after he retired

Matpat dunking on and name dropping the mean “sporty girls” will live in my head rent free for the rest of my days

I considered myself lucky in high school when I learned that the sweet lunch ladies would work with the culinary class to chop fresh vegetables and grill chicken for our boxed salads. These big homemade salads would count as an entree because of the chicken, hard boiled egg, and breadstick that came with it, but would also have all kinds of good stuff in a couple varieties. I would always pick them up and thank the lunch lady that told me about it, because she definitely felt more like a lunch mom to the students.

1:25 when he talks about his " experiment " its so goofy j mean bro hung on for dear life

I had something like "Cheezy Dippers" when I was in high-school in Eastern Tennessee. My Mom would give me $2 for lunch and I would bypass the regular food line and go to where the Cheese Bread sticks was being served and it would only be $1 per Cheese stick. Maaann those were the days!!! 😅😂❤

“DON’T TRUST YOUR SCHOOL LUNCH” Doesn’t take a genius to know that

I love how two thirds of this video is Mat talking about the history of lunch food and the rest is the actual math for the theory, this is what we come here for. Mat feeds us more than our schools do

My number 1 favorite school lunch is when they served orange chicken and chow mein, I also liked the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner that they served when it was like a week or something from Thanksgiving and Winter break, I also liked when they served Spaghetti, I also remember we got garlic bread with the spaghetti which makes it a lot better

Our school has Italian dunkers which are basically cheese with some bread rolled around it. They’re really good. They also have cheesy French bread which is some bread that looks to be from a more rounded prince of bread cut into quarters horizontally and vertically if that makes sense. With butter and cheese on top. Not to mention quite a few people seem to like crispitos which are basically ground beef with some sort of seasoning to them wrapped in what I can only assume is a hard tortilla? Besides those food quality had been declining except for the fact they’re finally getting better tortillas which my friends and I are quite pleased with.

My school has a student's mom as the main cook. So we always got traditional home cooked meals in the selections of food. It's actually very nice. School usually just gets the raw ingredients delivered by a nearby supplier. (This stuff is cheaper in my country)

I actually did a survey about school lunches at my school. Most people said the lunches were okay, a few kids hate the lunches, and the kids who think that the soggy fries and the dry spaghetti is to die for.

My school give us these burito bowl with rice bean chicken or beef and you have the option to add lettuce bits and cheeder cheses and I always thought it was the best

We never had school lunch we had to bring our own lunches

Matpat: “Don’t trust your school lunch!” Me: “Never did, never will.”

My school used to have a fruit requirement. You could not have your meal unless you had at least 1 fruit (an orange, apple, or banana). They later changed it that you didn’t need anything except the food you wanted (but they would charge you more without telling you). There was a rumor that went around that the janitor would dig through the trash and pull out any fruit that looked like it could be served again. Almost everyone just assumed it was fake, but still didn’t eat the fruit because it was not very fresh. I did an experiment with an apple and really didn’t think anything of it. I made a mark on that apple that looked like it could’ve just been natural, but it was just different enough that I could tell the difference. I was actually disgusted when I found that same apple 2 days later. I never ate anything from that school ever again

1:21 i love how he was already at the theater kid table, because he totally was one it makes too much sense

once in middle school we had school for longer than usual and we had snacktime when i went and look what we had there were kiwis i never had tried kiwis and i felt like trying them and im so happy that i did try them because i fell in love with kiwis and still love them so much
