I'm actually STUNNED that any cafeteria strike would result in a milkshake machine.

The burgers at our high school were so bad that McDonald's seemed like a gourmet burger. The spaghetti had sauce that was cold and thick and smelled very bad. The chicken...well, I won't even go there. Even the PB&J was bland compared to what I could make on my own (and yes, I made my lunch every morning).

Well, I was gonna eat lunch now, but I believe I'm no longer hungry :)
