The retro foods thread got me to thinking about being a kid. We had metal lunchboxes with a glass thermos in those days and every year we got a new one. Klutzy kids got in trouble with their mothers if they broke the glass thermos before the end of the school year.
What lunchbox(es) did you own? The two I remember having were:
GI Joe
Hair Bear Bunch

I had a few that I really loved:
An Archie comics lunchbox
A Partridge Family lunchbox, which had a game on the back which you played with little magnetic bus pieces.
A pink lunchbox that had Flower Power flowers all over it.

My cousin had a Shaun Cassidy lunchbox, which I coveted. I remember having a Snoopy/Woodstock one.

Posted: 3/14/06 at 2:06pmI.......I can't remember. I think I had a Mario Brothers lunch box at one time, but that might have been a Trapper Keeper.

Marvel Comics in 1st grade, Empire Strikes Back was soon thereafter.
The rest are lost to the annals of time.

Mary Poppins and Partridge Family are the only two I remember. Still have the PF on top of my fridge.

Posted: 3/14/06 at 8:16pmAll of my lunch boxes were plastic. In 1st grade i had THE COOLEST Pocahontas lunch box with a matching thermos. Then i had one with The Little Mermaid, and then smiley faces. Pocahontas was definitely my favorite lunch box

Lunch boxes! Mine were all plastic and/or foam, because glass and 1st graders don't function anymore. I had one of those hard plastic one's with Pocahontas on it, but I had a really cool soft Pocahontas one too. Then I had a Mickey Mouse one. Eventually I just got one of those insulated ones in lime green. I had a bad habit of breaking/losing them since I always wanted a new one. Now paperbags conquer all. Haven't had a lunchbox since middle school. And my nalgene. You can't forget that...
I wish I had an old school metal lunch box...

My favorite was my Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox.
My brother also had a really cute Disney one that looked like a schoolbus with all the "original" Disney characters, like Micky, Pluto, Goofy, Donald, on it.

I always had to paper bag it. But, I recently bought 2 plaid lunch boxes and an m&m's one. I'm making up for my lost childhood, it seems.
And that sucks, c.
