Metric Lunch Box
Imagine the insults suffered by the dweeb forced by well-meaning parents to carry this lunch pail to school.The objects children take to school can communicate messages. In the 1970s, the U.S. government encouraged more general use of the metric units of weight and measure, units that had been adopted in almost all other nations. To teach children about metric units, some parents purchased this lunch box.
