    How much lunch money were you guys given as kids. I got $30 every week on Sunday and usually by Tuesday i had already blown through it. It was workable lunch at my school was $4 bucks and then i could get a drink or something.

    I went to grade school in the early 1960's. It was $.25 for lunch. $.03 bought you a half pint of milk at recess time.

    When your grandfather owned your company I saved up my lunch money to buy his Anti Theft Model tinfoil hat. The kids not only stole my lunch money, they also stole the tinfoil hat!:mad:

    The older models were a bit temperamental and had not been tested on nor approved for sale to children. That is why we did a complete design overhaul decades ago. Now, even babies can benefit from them!

    I was allowed to buy my lunch once a week, once I got to high school it was more effort than it was worth - queuing at the Tuck Shop etc. It was simpler to make lunch at home and hang out with friends. New Zealand doesn't have American-style canteens for kids unless it's a boarding school. Some schools are introducing breakfasts for kids but those are free.
