Greetings from Asbury Park lunchbox

When the kids are pelting Miss Trunchbull with their lunches there's a quick shot of a lunchbox with Bruce Springsteen's "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J." album cover. I love that Danny Devito put that in there since it's where he was raised! Makes me smile whenever I see this movie.

It's is short for *it is* or *it has*. This rule has no exceptions.

I clocked the lunchbox, but didn’t realise the reference. Thanks for pointing this out 👍🎸
