Introduction
If you grew up in the ’70s, ’80s, or ’90s, this scene likely brings back a flood of memories: a thick slice of bologna sandwiched between two slices of white bread, a side of salty potato chips, and a red plastic cup filled with fruit punch. Simple, cheap, and unforgettable — the bologna sandwich lunch was a childhood staple.
The Simplicity of It All
There was nothing gourmet about it — and that was the point. No fancy condiments or artisanal bread. Just plain white sandwich slices, a slab of fried or cold bologna, and maybe a squirt of yellow mustard if you were lucky. It was a no-fuss, no-frills kind of meal that still managed to hit the spot.
