Soup kits

[Guest guest]

Why were those metal lunchboxes discontinued? Fad? Or was it really

as

someone told me " ...they stopped selling them b/c kids can use them

as

weapons to bash eachother over the heads and in this age of

zero-tolerance

in schools, metal boxes are a big no-no " . Is that second comment true

or

just an urban legend? I have been curious about that.

 

I am glad you found that soup kit recipe useful. I got a phone call

one night

out of the blue from a guy I gave that to . He is an avid meat-eater

but loves

to cook. He fixed that soup as the instructions said and he just

loved it. He

didn't add a thing. He said his whole family enjoyed it that night so

much

that his wife told him to call and ask for the recipe.

Everything you've learned in school as `obvious' becomes less and

less

obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no

solids

in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are

no

absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight

lines.

I'll bet...no, I surmise they were too easily made into a club like weapon.

Aren't most things the kids get to keep much softer?
