On-the-Go! Just Like Mom's Sack Lunches!

On-the-Go! is definitely a viable and heart-warming option for lunch here at Purdue University. On-the-Go! allows you one main meal course (a sandwich or something of the like) and four side dishes (consisting of anything from fruit to chips or a drink). You can use up to two meal swipes per entry at an On-the-Go! location. It provides an easy option for those that don't have time for a sit-down meal due to classes around the lunch time meal block. It also provides a little bit of fun filled past times.

Now you might be wondering how that really is a memory filled experience, it's just a meal on the run isn't it? I ask you to only remember a few years back, to the golden ages of child hood when your mom (or dad) provided you with a sack lunch before you headed off to the bus stop (or got in the car [or out of the car for that matter]) on the way to school. Those meals held the simple necessities of needed nutrition: a drink, a sandwich and a snack or two. Snacks like fruit roll-ups, snak-pak pudding, jello, fruit, candy, cake items, chips and maybe even some vegetables are the memories of lunch time trades and feasts. Who doesn't think of a sack lunch as part of the cliche little kid going to school routine?

So I implore you to enjoy your child hood memories next time you chow down after picking out your favorites from On-the-Go! And if you haven't yet tried it, do so, you may be amazed at what you find. I don't think I have to say more than small card board box containers of chocolate milk. Oh the memories!
