I had the obnoxious orange Tupperware lunchbox, with matching orange milk/juice cup (with lid), orange sandwich box (with lid), snack box (with lid), and a huge helping of shame and humiliation.
I would have killed puppies for a Thundercats lunchbox.
Me too. Oh god, did I hate that lunchbox.
The only thing worse was when my mom would make me bring soup in the ugly yellow thermos. That ended the day the class bully dumped my tomato soup on me.
And then somehow, magically I think - I got a Garfield lunchbox. I really, really loved that lunchbox.
My daughter had a Captain Planet lunchbox. She’s been looking for another for two years now. I don’t think enough people got the Captain Planet lunchbox back when they were first out for there to be many about now.
I had the Space: 1999 lunchbox, which I lost the Thermos to on the first day of kindergarten. (I think someone stole it. What kid has as his first memory stealing somebody’s Thermos?)
I later upgraded to the Peanuts lunchbox. Then it became lame (4th grade, 1982 or so) to have lunchboxes, so then it was all about the paper sack…
I had a Get Smart lunchbox. A quick check of Ebay shows one selling for $195. I forgot it on the bus one day, the next day I got it back all smashed, someone jumped on it till it was about an inch thick.
I had Star Wars, Evel Knievel, I may have had a Muppet one in there too. All had matching thermos. I had to have more than that…I better think about this some more.
Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox, which I had the foresight to cover with a set of Star Wars stickers. Both of which are now significantly reduced in resale value. Oh, well – at least I can relive the memories of having a cool Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox that was covered with Star Wars stickers.
