@Arcanepotato I think part of the reason I remembered was because I was shocked they were mixing together their beautifully colored uniform food boxes. I used to care a lot about different food touching/mixing. ๐ตโ๐ซ
I'm (very slowly) working on an art project of autism friendly/antagonist tableware in my ceramics hobby, despite not having the stereotypical food mixing concern. It's just that foods must be mixed in very specific ways to optimize the texture and temperature contrasts and it's illegal to eat different flavored skittles at the same time. Yes, I'm very normal about food. ๐ซฃ
On the hand I am not at all normal about how much I love environmental story telling in 1970s and 1980s sci fi and modernist design. Thank you for sharing this detail about the film.
