Answer: Two Mistakes in the Old School Cafeteria

Did you get it right?

This nostalgic school cafeteria looks like a familiar lunch line from the 1960s, but two modern details slipped into the scene.

Answer: Two Mistakes in the Old School Cafeteria

The Answer

The correct answer is: the disposable food-service glove and the 240 CAL menu notation.

Here is why

  1. Look at the lunch lady’s serving hand. She is wearing a thin transparent disposable glove that does not fit the period setting.
  2. Read the menu board above the serving line. The chicken pie has a modern 240 CAL calorie notation.
  3. The trays, milk cartons, prices and cafeteria equipment otherwise support the older setting.

Why people miss it

The glove is nearly transparent, while the calorie count is placed beside several ordinary prices. Both clues blend into areas viewers expect to see.
