September 8, 1987
Lunchtime on the first day of school in 1987 came with lots of excitement for students in San Diego. First, there was the process of paying and getting change from the lunch lady. Then there were all the choices to be made: pizza or a hot dog; beans or apple sauce.
One adventurous second-grader Donny Lopez decided he wanted to try peanut butter on his pizza of all things. Later, he told News 8's Hal Clement it was "gross."
Some kids chose to bring their own lunch. Hal Clement said everyone made it through the first lunch on the first day of school.
