Pack your thermos.
Ask Mom to make a PB&J on Wonder.
And check out these lunchboxes from yesteryear.
(Okay, like the 70s & 80s.)

Martin Landau is Commander John Koenig in Space 1999.
Meep. Meep. Beep. Beep.
I snapped these photos this weekend while at a downtown museum. This guy has a huge collection of vintage lunchboxes in his office too.


Nice. I remember having Hong Kong Fooey!
No kidding, I had that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom lunchbox. The one with Indy on the runaway mine car.
When i was in Kindergarten, I had a Smurfs Lunchbox, which i quickly traded in for a G.I. Joe Lunchbox that served me through most of elementary school.
I had Peter Pan and Tinker belle on my lunch box ... I kinda got beat up a lot in grade school. I just thought the other kids didn't like Disney.
I had a Charlies Angels one. Closest I got to Jacklyn Smith's box.
:(
I remember having one of the first plastic lunch boxes. GI Joe, I think.
The paint rubbed off and mom switched to brown bags from then on.
I had a Barbie lunchbox, and then when I saw one with Wonder Woman on it, there was no turning back
B-Man, your Mom called my Mom....'cause I had a brown paper bag with my name on it!
Gee, thanks!
I use to have a fucken sweet Ninja Turtles lunch box.
Lunchboxes were for pussies. All of us manly grade school lads brown-bagged it. The bags came in handy for covering the faces full of female adolescent ugly so that we could stomach our meal in a civilized manner.
Fifth grade was particularly brutal. There was a lot of ugly that year.
(Although I do recall that to be the year that the brastrap made its first appearance ... I miss Janie.)
Way before my time. By the time i was in school the crappy plastic ones were the ones available. If i remember correctly i had a GI Joe one.
That one from Star Wars sure kicks ass.
The average lifespan of a lunchbox was about a month. Unless you kept in the most pristine cleanliness, it would produce a smell that would make one compare it to a mini-dumpster. And the thermos. It's insides would shatter if you dropped it from a height of no more than 3 inches...put THAT in the hand of a 4th grader and see what happens.
I have the Masters of the Universe lunch box that my Mom got me for Christmas a few years back, that was followed by a Transformers lunch box. I still my E.T. lunch box that I left on the back bumper of my mom's car, which was thrown off after going over train tracks and ran over by a semi... Oh memories...
