milk cartons
Cafeteria lunch staples
Milk cartons are the waxed paperboard containers used to package and sell milk, typically with a gabled top that folds open for pouring.
The carton became an American symbol of missing children when photos and descriptions began appearing on them in the 1980s: Have you seen this child?
The practice has largely been replaced by other methods, but milk carton kid persists as a term for missing children.
