No Thanks, I'll Brown Bag

Remember the school lunch entree pork choppy? When I was younger, I thought they named it that because they were talking to kids and the 'y' made it sound cuter. Kids will eat anything if it sounds cute. It's like: "Oh cute...it's a pork choppy...nothing suspicious about that...bring it on." Turns out, the lunch entree naming people weren't trying to use audience appropriate language. Truth is, they were legally restricted from calling it a pork 'chop' because it wasn't in fact a chop at all, but rather a mix of sundry pork meats pressed into the shape of a chop. Another reason PB&J is a gift.
