I was helping my mom clean her garage recently and ran across my lunch box from early grade school. It was Robin Hood and one of my favorites. I had several others but this was my favorite. It got me to thinking - what types of lunch boxes did you guys carry.

Grizzly Adams is the only one I can remember. I am sure there were others, but that one sticks out in my mind.

Various characters, but I liked the flat box type as opposed to the domed top ones. For most of my school years, h/o, I took the school hot lunch--Mom just didn't want to always be making a lunch for me.

We were pretty poor when I was a kid so I had a brown paper bag that I brought home and used for a week or so until it got too ragged....then a new bag for a week or so.

A metal Batman lunchbox was my favorite. Somehow that's the only one I remember ...

Hot lunch was the norm at my school as well. But I do remember brownbagging it on occasions. The thing I hated was "milk break" before recess. The milk out of that stainless steel dispenser was never very cold and that "sour milk" taste stayed with us as we sweated out on the dusty playground...yuck!

Let's see... I remember a Dick Tracy, a Rocketeer, and Ninja Turtles lunchbox... all plastic with the cool little snaps. I think that was up until about 1st grade, then I started to trust the school food. One thing I miss is the square pizza. It can't have been that nutritious, but throw some ranch on it and it's deeeeee-lish.

I too had a metal snoopy lunch box. The one I remember the most was the flintstones and GRAPE APE! You all remember Grape Ape? That was the most awesome cartoon lol
I only took my lunch until I was up to the 6th Grade. Once I got into Jr High...it was not "KEWL" to bring your lunch. So I suffered and ate the schools food until my Freshman year when we had open campus and could go anywhere in town for lunch. Memory lane here..I can remember when we would hit the McDonalds, with about 200 kids going there. I could "inhale" 2 BigMacs, large order of fries and a large drink in a matter of minutes. We only had 40 minutes for lunch. That meant , jumping in car, driving there, waiting in line, inhaling and back to class.

Yep, by junior high it was NOT cool to have a lunch box, but seems like we got a new one every other year or so in grade school. The last one I had was Six Million Dollar Man. Jeez.
