Trivia: Will Friedle has said that for the dream sequence with Nancy Kerrigan, they dyed his hair to match the ice-skating double's hair, instead of the other way around, likely because it is easier to darken someone's hair than it is to lighten it. Friedle wondered why they didn't just have him and the double wear beanies to cover their hair instead of sending him to a salon in Lake Placid to get his hair dyed.
Chosen answer: In the present day, with the United States abiding by more stricter school health laws, for the most part this wouldn't be in school cafeterias as many cannot even have carbonated beverage machines now. However, in the 90s when the show takes place, it wasn't unheard of for there to be coffee machines in the cafeteria of small schools where the teachers eat with the students as we see them do often in the show. The idea being that the cafeteria was small enough so a teacher or hall monitor could catch a student before they could drink the coffee.
