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.

Dukes of Hazzard

When I was a small kid I had a Snoopy lunchbox, but starting at about 3rd grade I either brown-bagged it or bought the hot lunch at school.
These days when I pack a lunch for work I take a Laptop Lunchbox (original, not the 2.0 that just came out):

For my older son, who just turned three and goes to day care a few days a week, I pack his lunch in this Japanese-style bento:

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!
-
Metal Star Wars lunchbox. Still have it at my mom's. It holds my GI Joe figures.
-
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. #ng^y

G.I. JOE! A REAL AMERICAN HERO!!!
-
Square G.I. Joe box here.
-
I had a Gremlin's lunchbox. Man if I knew those metal lunchboxes would be worth so much money know I would have bought a thousnd of them.
-
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.

The one I remember the most is a metal Muppet Show lunchbox

My kids had the square pizza at school yesterday. I am so jealous.
-
I had a Snoopy, a Fraggle Rock (I shouldn't admit it, but I did), and Dukes of Hazard. The Snoopy was my favorite. Had a cool matching thermos.

Oh! I forgot about the square pizza! I loved that stuff! So much cheese on it. Yummy!

I don't remember having a lunch box at all. I'm sure I did, since I took my lunch to school. I do remember in 7th grade having an insulated lunch bag. It was plain red. I started a different school in 8th grade and ate the cafeteria food until I graduated.
I do remember in 7th grade eating outside at the picnic tables every day, rain or shine (it had an awning), even if it was freezing cold. It wasn't cool to eat your lunch inside the cafeteria. We did have to eat inside once as punishment for leaving trash on the ground.

I had that one too! Just remembered!!!!!!!!
-
I had the Snoopy one, too, with the domed top shaped like his dog house. It had the old school Thermos with the silver glass insulated lining, which usually lasted one or two weeks into the school year!
-
Im dating myself. The Flintstones.
-
I'm going back even further with this "dating myself": I had a rectangular, metal(rusty after 6 uses) ROY ROGERS lunch pail with a matching thermos- the next one was SUPERMAN, after that it was brown bagging.
-
The only lunchbox I remember having was a huge plastic one in Preschool that got taken away from me because I hit another kid with it, and a Lion King lunchbox with matching thermos in Primary. After that I just carried my lunch in the front pocket of my backpack. We never had square pizzas but we did have round ones with crusts like cardboard.
-

I beat you all. I had a "Clutch Cargo" lunch box.
I bet 50% of you don't even know what that is without Googling it.

A buddy of mine recently relayed a story to me about his lunch box. He had the Snoopy doghouse one when he was little. He was recently at a garage sale and saw one like it and bought it for nostalgic purposes. When he got home he was rubbing some of the rust off of it and noticed his name still written on the tape where his mother had put it years ago. PRetty neat deal to finally catch up with it again. He now proudly displays it on top of his refrigerator.

I like the new look Timmay

Yeah I had to give up my lunchbax also. And we had open campus also. But we waited until the end of lunch to eat because Pizza Hut would always have to make more pan pizzas than they needed and they would give them to us free. Then we could spend our lunch money on much better things like cigarettes and beer. Lol.

Holy Crap! What are the odds of THAT? He must still live on the same street he grew up on.

Hmm let's see. Welcome back Kotter. ;D Superman, Buck Rogers in the 25th century featuring the very hot Erin Gray. Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi. I bought a bunch of used ones when I was little at the flea market that I never carried to school. I had Beverly Hillbillies, Hogans Heros, Space 1999, they were usually to beat up to take to school but I liked them. I've thought about collecting them but I don't have much room or...money. :'(
