the ultimate cafeteria weapon

Today's lunch involved cheese steaks (chicken or beef) rice, pasta salad, and the ultimate cafeteria weapon: tater-tots. Lunch was pretty good, but mostly because the tater tots reminded me of all the crap we got away with during high school lunch. Tater tots should not be served in school environments, its just asking for trouble. They are just good enough that everyone would grab them if they came with lunch knowing someone else would inevitably eat them... or toss them across the cafeteria hitting an unsuspecting victim in the head. They are also small enough that they can be tossed pretty far accurately, without drawing attention to one's self.

On at least on occasion in high school I've seen someone get tackled in the lunch room as a result of a tater tot war. I've also seen under-fried tots explode upon hitting a table and occasionally someone's face. Either way, its remarkable that they are still served in high schools everywhere, allowing those students the same pleasure we had back in the day.
