French school students bury a time capsule until 2067

The "message in a bottle" has apparently become too mainstream.
In a highschool located in the surburbs of Paris, a history teacher had the original idea to put a dozen of items from teenagers' daily life in a container and bury it under the ground. Coins, pencils, or even a highschool newspaper would be thrown in that 2m height box, during a solemn ceremony organized in the schools' playground.



This container was meant to be a "time capsule", according to the teacher, with one instruction on it: "don't open before 2067". Indeed, the students decided to make a surprise to the future generations, who would discover how students of the same age used to live 50 years ago. To make it all more spicy (and confusing), they would mix it with items from the past century, like floppy disks.
Some of the items thrown in the container had an implicit political connotation: an empty jar of Nutella was supposed to represent the abusive use of palm oil.
