- Years and years ago, when I was a prisoner of the public education
- system, the school lunch program had these little cartons of milk. One
- day, the people producing these cartons decided to start putting what
- they considered useful information on the Cartons. Their first attempt
- was to put Steve Allen's picture on one side and fun steve allen facts
- on the other side. I remember this mainly because it was the early
- 80's and it hurt my brain at the time why anyone would put someone like
- Steve Allen on a milk Carton.....and because Steve was on the cartons
- for what seemed like years. In the end, steve was driven off the milk
- cartons in favor of nutritional brainwashing and/or science trivia.
-
- But now, thanks to MST3k, I know the truth. That Steve Allen
- invented Photos on milk Cartons.
