He moves on to a side salad with a custom dressing mix (6/10), chocolate milk (8/10), and finally a blue raspberry squeeze pouch (6/10), providing brief commentary and a numerical score for each before signing off.

My name is Davis, and I think this is day eleventh of reviewing school food. Today, we good, corn dog. I have ketchup with it. Okay. I wish their breading had crisps. It's not that great. It's not like the worst full lunch, but it's definitely not the best. Five out of 10. Alright. No got, salad. I, I mixed Italian dressing and a little bit of ranch. I like the combination I made. I wish I just did ranch. Six out of 10. I know you guys have been asking for a rank, so, they have milk. I don't use to grab milk, but, I'll review it for you guys. Here you go. Pretty good. I mean, it's just chocolate milk, eight out of 10. Now today, they got this, like, blue raspberry squeeze thing. It's okay. Like, six out of 10. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
