Teahcers have revealed the most shocking packed lunches they've seen pupils bring in, and the contents are hard to stomach. AdvertisementOne primary school student from Halifax, West Yorks, brought a pork pie and a can of shandy for lunch, explaining he had prepared it himself as "that's all there was in the fridge". Another child arrived with a can of Red Bull and a bag of Monster Munch corn snacks. The same teacher questioned a mother about her child's Red Bull and was told: "He'd had a late night on his Xbox and seemed like he needed a pick-me-up." In Birmingham, a staff member discovered a student had been sent to school with a Happy Meal box containing a cold McDonald's burger and fries.
