The Late Movies: Food Fight!


I attended a pretty buttoned-up Catholic grade school and high school, so no major catastrophes ever took place in our cafeterias. This was in stark contrast to the TV shows I watched, where nearly every cafeteria saw at least one food fight per season. I lived vicarious through television characters who could launch hot dog buns through the air like footballs. Of course, this was before YouTube. Now, I can live vicariously through real students. And so can you!

Apopka High School

Armstrong High School

If you look closely, you can see full bottles of water flying across the room. Which seems like less fun than, say, a hot dog bun.
Joel Barlow High School

Faber College
