What Lunchboxes Did You Have Growing Up?

[Shinobi Shaw]

We all were children once. Back in your elementary school days, did you have any fun lunchboxes?

I had this one and was obsessed with it:

What about you guys?

 

[InCali]

Paper bags. LOL

 

[Bran The Man]

I'd like to say that I had one of those cool lunchboxes with the cartoon characters on them, but mine was more of a lunch BAG. One of those ones with the velcro to keep it closed... LOL.

 

[BatsAndNights]

Yeah, I wish I had an old school metal one but I mostly just had generic ones that basically look like a mini can cooler bag

Had a WWE one once though, that was pretty neat

I remember rocking this one in kindergarten:

And this one in first grade:

Those are the only two I can remember since those were the only ones I had featuring licensed characters, lol.

Drizzy I remember those! And then I remember a few girls had the Pocahontas ones. Kids today will never know about the lunchbox/thermos combos we used to rock lol.

I was especially proud of the Jurassic Park one. I'm surprised I never had a Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers lunch box since I went ape**** for that at that age but I definitely had a Power Rangers backpack.

Another question for those of you that had them: Did you guys ever use those thermos bottles that were included? Most of the time my parents would just pack a water bottle or a juice box in there so the thermos was rarely used.

I've never had one of those! How long did you used to stay at school?

Dude, I had these two somewhere in Kindergarten:


Couldn’t tell me NOTHING. And I seldom used the Thermos. My parents probably packed it once or twice with iced tea if we didn’t have juice boxes at home lol.

Just for the typical 6-7 hour school day. Lunchtime used to be fun, we’d compare lunchboxes and stuff lol.

Sounds like fun! We didn't use to have lunchtime (or at least my school).

Most schools with lunchtime, over here, are the ones with this "double shift" modality (only Spanish during the morning and only English in the afternoon).

 

[Gee]

Nice, I had this one:

Still trying to figure out whose eyes those are at the top...Rita? Goldar? Zordon?

Dating myself to the metal lunchbox era - Inherited this^ (no thermos), just used it to keep hot-wheels, bubble gum cards etc.
Used this one for lunch for maybe one year.

Marvel's was the greatest!
Pretty much gave you getting beat immunity lunchbox cred.
Unless you still had it passed the 4th or 5th grade, then you were getting your ass kicked!

And Kung Fu. Which was a liability, cause while just trying to peacefully eat your lunch, every other kid was like; so you like Kung Fu! ...then wanted to show off their spaz moves!

I really wanted ...

That Fantastic Four one is f’ing cool!

That was all-in-one Marvel Heroes throughout Lunch Box, FF was only on one side, with several more Marvel heroes on the other sides....

Some other awesome ones, not mine

Secret Wars

 

[Breogan]

More, not mine just posting some I think are great -

Love the Hanna Barbera ones:

Then of course came...

According museum owner Allen Woodall; the Last metal Lunchbox produced before they switched to all plastic (not counting later repros) was Rambo of all things.

I had a Pac Man one and later a Knight Rider ones the pac man was plastic but the KR one was metal and it was awesome!

This is the only one I can clearly remember having, though I'm pretty sure I had others.
