I can never remember bringing my lunch to school.  I just remember eating that cheap ass food my entire childhood.

At the Polyesther's in DC, there's a cabinet with old lunchboxes in it.  I look at the thing and go "had that", "had that"...Let's see, I remember having Peanut's/Charlie Brown, Happy Days, and The Six Million Dollar Man.

Can't find a pic, but mine had to be the worst ever.  I actually went to school sporting a Kukla, Fran and Ollie lunchbox.  I never even saw the show once.  What kind of boy has Shari Lewis on their lunchbox?  A luckyboy.

I remeber I had this one:<img height="215" src="http://www.cfhf.net/lyrics/images/happy.jpg" width="260" border="0" />...and this one:<img height="73" src="http://www.tias.com/stores/memlnny/thumbs/lbsnbx11804a.jpg" width="100" border="0" /> My wife has this retro lunchbox that she picked up a few years ago at some pop culture-centric store in Manhattan somewhere.  She used to use it to hold teabags.<img height="341" src="http://images.andale.com/f2/102/100/1527240/1100527642563_LunchBoxHappyDays.JPG" width="360" border="0" />Anyway, my kindergardener has a couple of soft lunchboxes (Princess and Jessie from Toy Story 2, I think).  One day she left one at school and we couldn't find the other one, so my wife sent her to school with the Happy Days lunch box.  Apparently a lot of the kids liked it, despite having no idea what "Happy Days" is, because they never see metal lunchboxes, and maybe because it's shaped like an old T.V.  She's used it to take her snack for school every day since.

About 10 years ago, I bought my wife the HEE HAW lunch box.  (MINT CONDITION)

11-13-2006, 05:14 PM

I loved the smell of the thermos.  I guess it was the plastic,
but there was no other smell like it.  Also i got so happy using
my thermos.  I thought it was the neatest thing.  The things
that amused us....<img width="500" height="338" border="0" src="http://www.momandpopstoys.com/pict_off_disk_2/strawberrybox.jpg" />

In second grade I had this, "Herself the Elf," lunchbox.... I didn't know who the hell that was! Never seen that cartoon, ever....and yet, this was the lunchbox I was stuck with for the year... I think an "on sale cheap,"  sign was to blame for that travesty....couldn't find a pic, but here is thermos evidence:<img src="http://i6.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/ab/3e/7d_1.JPG" border="0" width="146" height="298" /> Ya know what else? I had a perfectly good old metal Muppets Lunchbox with Pigs in Space on it that I had used the year before and loved it... but right before second grade year the school sent a note that we weren't allowed to have metal ones in school anymore..... cause they feared metal lunchbox beatings about the head, I guess..... Tsk, tsk...<img src="http://i16.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/33/ae/69_1.JPG" border="0" width="400" height="298" />grumble, grumble....grievances

My fave lunchbox looked like a big green plastic pickle. On the way home from school, I usta catch bumblebees in it & let them loose in the house...<img src="http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:0MR1xPdl_AitbM:http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/pict/1100099128718080_0.jpg" border="0" width="74" height="56" />       Wow, this is the onliest pic online & this pickle is blue... mmm appetizing!!!

Had several in the early 70's, but I only remember this one. I had it until my best friend, in a fight, threw it down the street and scraped the paint off the one side. Jerk Off  http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r180/dougplarson/woodylunchbox.jpg

Bought this last week off of eBay...<img src="http://i9.ebayimg.com/04/i/08/c0/db/a2_1.JPG" border="0" width="400" height="266" />It was my lunchbox in 1968 and I always loved it.  Saw it and bought it.  My kids love it too.  My 4 year old looks at the picture of Snoopy on the side and asks me why Snoopy is drinking coffee.  I tell her dogs could drink coffee in the '60s, it was a wilder time.

I loved my "Daniel Boone" lunch box (really old school). I think I had a "Lost in
Space" one also. The only problem was the thermos bottle in those days had glass
in it and seemed to always break.

My old metal lunchbox always had a weird smell no matter how many times
I tried to wash it out. A combo of sour milk, liverwurst and lebanon bologna.
Yeah, my mom made some great sandwiches. I think that's why I'm a
vegetarian today!

I had Real Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lunchboxes. One was metal, the other plastic. I'd post a picture, but my older brother was rooting around in the basement and decided to throw all my old stuff out without telling me.
