What was your favorite lunch box?

Recommended Posts

Inspiried by Twoply's "Banana Splits" lunchbox. ;)

Some of you youngsters might not have had the good fortune to have a metal lunch box, but I sure do remember how exciting it was to go pick out a new one at K-Mart every school year. After a few months, you never could get the smell of rotten food out of them and the latch always ended up rusting over, but they sure were great for clobbering your sibling when you got irritated with them! :ph34r:

My favorite was an Adams Family lunchbox. Anyone else have any fond memories of their lunchbox?

I'm a little tired today...that went right over my head and I was looking at the computer quizzically for about 10 seconds before I got it. :$

You naughty boy! :o;)

My favorite was a Strawberry Shortcake lunch box! And yes, the latches on those things always rusted over, plus the lid would bend slighlty after a while and it would never close completely right! :D

Growing up very poor in communist Eastern Europe, my "lunch box" was the previous day's newspaper :)

Don't feel bad. I hear the English still serve fish that way.:D

Lunch box I really REALLY wanted: Time Tunnel W/thermos

Lunch box I received: Beverly Hillbillys w/o thermos

At least it wasn as lame as my brother's Green Acres box... :|

I envied those that "brown bagged" it, & my last lunch box was my favorite. It was a red & black tartan pattern with nothing else on it. Changing schools in 6th grade (1966) ended carrying lunch until I joined the real work force after 4 years serving Uncle Sugar.

"Theme" lunch box would be "Hot Wheels".

But I was way cool in 6th grade when I got a black plastic "adult" lunchbox that I used through 9th grade (end of jr high back then).

Gomer Pyle was my favorite. I believe I carried it 'til the hinge gave up. I'm sure everyone was relieved when it was replaced.

When we were stationed in Izmir, I carried a Turkish contraption that served well, but you couldn't put a thermos in it.>:( No fruit and jello those years.

I've since made up for the jello thing:)
