BSnUws Investigates: The Atrium "All You Can Fit" Provides Dixie Cups, Not Boxes

MUNCIE, INDIANA - On Instagram, Ball State Dining announced that The Atrium dining hall, located inside the AJ building, is switching to a new all-you-can-fit model. For one meal swipe or $9.45, you'll be provided a soda cup and a container. Anything you can fit, as long as the lid closes, is yours! Sounds too good to be true? It is.

"We have exciting news to share! Based on your feedback, The Atrium has been transformed into a one-trip 'all-you-can-fit' eatery", the University posted on Instagram.

However, the big takeout container pictured in the post isn't what's being served. We sent a BSnUws Muncie correspondent to The Atrium. It's closed this week, however BSnUws was able to obtain press access. Walking thru the process, our correspondent reported that after swiping the BSnUws company card, she was provided with a soda cup and a 3-ounce Dixie cup, like the ones used for mouthwash. When we asked if it was for the drink, we were told "That's for your food, silly!"

Nothing in The Atrium fits into the 3-ounce cup, other than the soda.

Our correspondent chose to fit her food in the soda cup, filling the Dixie cup with a mere 3 ounces of Pepsi. When we went to exit, we were stopped by University Police for allegedly "carrying a shot in public". When the correspondent explained it was Pepsi, the officer said "That's not true, Pepsi goes in the drink cup! And why do you have food in your drink cup? Are you drunk?". After our correspondent passed a field sobriety test, she was directed to throw everything away.

BSnUws's Chief Financial Officer declassified the financial statement of the purchase to our newsroom, displaying we were charged $9.49, not $9.45. The charge has since been disputed.

Neither Ball State Dining or Police have responded back to BSnUws's request for comment.

The Atrium to Follow MyPlate Standards, Limiting Vivimos and Adding Salad Bar

MUNCIE, INDIANA - Inspired by the old MyPlate initiative pushed in K-12 schools, Ball State Dining has taken inspiration, making groundbreaking changes to The Atrium. These changes include less availability at Vivimos, an additional salad bar, and the most important meal of the day no longer being served. A post circulating Instagram and YikYak from a student food reviewer shows that that Vivimos is now part of the "Rotating Cuisine" menu, only offering burritos, burrito bowls and nachos. A salad bar was also introduced. Breakfast, however, is no longer an option. A spokesperson for University Dining told BSnUws that they were "inspired by Becoming by Michelle Obama" to "implement the classic MyPlate standards from back in our day". "The MyPlate program states we only have to give our scholars 2 cups of fruit, 2 and a half cups of vegetables, 6 ounces of whole grain, 5 and a half ounces of protein, and 3 cups of milk for what we offer to be consid...
