Is the food in Japanese School Cafeterias really so good that they're constantly sold out and there's huge demand and long lines just to purchase it or is that just some anime exaggeration?

Do Americans really care about Prom and being prom queen or prom king? Or is that some movie exaggeration

Bread is a huge delicacy in Japan so it's no surprise people would fight over the limited loafs.

Do student council presidents really rule over every aspect of the students' lives in Japanese high schools or is that just some anime exaggeration?

Did your school not have a cafeteria OP? It's usually shit but when they have the good stuff it sells out quick.
Yes. Don't bongs and Aussies do this too?
No, but they're in that position because they want to. When I taught English several of my students were at the top of their respective student councils. I asked why and they said:
>In anime, the student council is always the strongest. I joined and ran for president because I too wanted to be the strongest, even if it's not like that in real life.

UK schools have a graduation dance, but none of that prom king/queen stuff.

Of course I had a cafeteria in my American schools but there was never any huge demand besides just being the basic convenient lunch available at school and it rarely sold out of anything, and the food itself definitely wasn't put in anywhere near as high regard as the cafeteria food in anime which seems to be most of the time put on the same pedestal as some popular bodega's food. There were snack bars with goodies that had to be bought with money regardless if you were a poor kid with free lunch but they never really sold out of anything, there was slightly more demand for chocolate bars that were sold by other students for fundraising. So it's just weird to me seeing how well liked the school food apparently is in Japan

No not really. Then again, I went to an all guys school, so the real competition was showing up with the hottest date. I may not be the most qualified to answer, but from talking to other non-school people, no one gives a shit outside of catty girls.

Not OP but my high school ordered multiple Domino's pizzas every day and it was the first thing to always sell out. There were 2 lunch periods, I was second, so after math class on the way to PE I'd stop by the cafeteria and get a slice from the first lunch period and eat it before class.

There was never good shit at the school cafeteria.
And most people didn't just decide on the moment to buy school lunch, they either brought food or came expecting to eat lunch. If the cafeteria ran out of food then people just wouldn't have meals but that never happened because that would be bad I guess

yes OP, every single school in japan is like that

most places know how many students are there and gauge how much of each product will sell and only make so much. they arent goign to bake 800 loafs of bread for 300 students type of shit you moron. if they avg 50 of the puke covered noodle bread anime always sell, they arent going to make 100 of them. first come first serve, buy the normal bread if it sells out.

genuinely no, that's just a trope

Even within the context of anime, I don't think you understand. The decent food is sold out. The shit food is plentiful. Characters fight because they don't want to get stuck with the stale bread, they want the fancy bread.

In my Brazilian high-school they sold hamburgers, pizzas, coxinhas, etc, and they would sold out, so everyone tried to get there as quickly as possible and some people would cut in front of others.
I don't doubt the nips would have something similar.

*Brazilian school
We had everything from kinder-garden to high-school.

It was more of a thing in the 80s. I don't even know if kids go to proms anymore.

It's not a matter of them being "so good". Students can't just leave school to buy food outside. And some stuff might be limited in numbers.

That said, overall Japanese schools are way too orderly for actual fights to break out. Maybe it was a thing in the 60s/70s when there was an actual student rebel movement which was often tied to gangs, but any later than that actual food fights seem fairly unlikely. It's more likely some people would just get peer pressured to not get in the way.

UMA DELICIA

Just use uber eats lol

Whole fucking school has lunch at once. Only 30 minutes to get food and eat, while entire student body is competing to get food as fast as possible so they can eat before next class.

Seconding this. As soon as the bell rang I would run to buy my stuff because the longer I took to buy it the more crowded it would get and the less chances I would have to buy whatever I wanted and I also wanted to avoid queueing up as much as possible. The educated guess would be that there's some obvious exaggeration in anime, just like with every other trope based on reality.

I dunno, but if it was anything like tatertot day in middle school I can completely understand.

It was definitely an 80s thing, and of course, in any podunk shithole town they'd keep caring even into the 90s.
