It can't be because in 1988 there were only 12 menus.

No, that one looks like it's from 1998. The cases from 1995 and earlier were the older flat-shaped cases. Plus, they weren't using the TTIs (Time and Temperature Indicators) back in 1988.

That's odd. This case was produced in early 1998, but the marking "CASE B (MENUS 9-20)" indicates that the contents are probably from the previous year when they only had 20 menus.

No "Thai Chicken" for you!

Hi CaptBob. Since this case was produced at the beginning of the year - looks like Jan. 14 - they were probably still producing the previous year's menus.

But good catch anyway! I hadn't noticed the "Menus 9-20" part myself.
