For the record, I like yellow just as well as any other color, and despite my tendency to be highly judgmental, I can't say I've ever looked at anyone wearing it and thought: Yellow! Ugh! Also for the record, my favorite school lunch on rainy days was a bowl of Campbell's tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich made with American cheese and white bread.

I must be from the wrong generation and/or region as to the tomato soup + cheese sandwich thing, given the number of people in this thread who do report seeing this either now or in the past. Or maybe it was a thing but my mom just didn't like it so she never made it

I've been in restaurants that offer a soup & sandwich combo but I've never noticed it being tomato soup & grilled cheese specifically.
