Did you have lunchboxes when you were in grade school?

[naisho]

Well, did you?
I still remember one of my early ones. And I miss the thermos.

Ahh the 80's was such a strange yet fascinating era. I had the superman lunch box back in 1984

 

[Miss-Delectable]

I had few kind of lunch boxes from pre-school to last year of High school, lol.

Most of my lunchbox were made by Tupperware. No thermos, never had one.

Dang, I believed that I had them before. The reason is that when i was a kid at school. some of kids and i did exchange the lunchboxes for fun except food were mine.

Oh, yeah! I had lunch boxes in grade school. But I am an old geezer...we had the ones that were metal and the thermos was glass lined and heavy.

I had the Wonder Woman tin lunch box when I was in Elementary school. I think my brother had the Incredible Hulk tin lunch box.

As I got older I got a red Tupperware lunch box.

Yeah. All thermoses used to have a glass lining between the outside and the inside layers. Sometimes, you could accidently break the glass, and could feel it shaking around inside.

 

[whatdidyousay!]

I am sorry , this all I can really remember about my lunch box.
