Do you remember your first lunchbox?

Mine was one of those big plastic ones, where both the top and bottom are the same shape, with hooks on top to hold a thermos, and little snaps to keep the thing closed. It was orange, and on the front there was a picture of Garfield the cat, getting ready to chow down on a sandwich.
I had it in kindergarten, up to grade two I think. But nah, whatever happened to it…ain’t got it now.
Cool question though. :)

I had the coolest lunch box ever.

Oh yes I sure do! It was a pink vinyl box with Tinkerbell on it. Unfortunately it had one of those old style glass-interior thermoses and one day I dropped the box and the thermose broke. I was so sad and embarrased and I felt like I’d let my parents down by not being more careful with it.

I loved that lunch pail and I have no idea what happened to it. But it’s probably worth a fortune now!

I remember that it always had a funky American cheese/tuna fish/sour milk smell to it.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Dude, SWEET!

Like the vast majority of my belongings, it was a hand-me-down from an older sister. It was covered in Pepto-Bismol Pink with a black poodle stamped on the front. I think it had a Paris theme.

Ah…and here it is. Too bad it no longer exists, but it does solve the mystery of which sister previously owned it.

@Pied_Pfeffer love that! era 1962 really… doesn’t look to be that age, much the same as you Pfeffer I am sure!

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard really garfield?! I loved garfield back in the day. cool my fiddle playing friend.

I can’t seem to remember it, though I seem to have this idea that it was red. I’d have to ask my mom; she’d know. I do remember my first backpack, though. It was red, yellow, blue, and green—each side being a different color. I loved it :)

It was a brown paper bag

@josie Epic lol.

@gravity The Garfield lunchbox was me. :p
And dammit I can’t find a pic of it. I can’t even find the model of it. Seemed popular when I was a kid…I didn’t know looking for lunch boxes online was this complex.

Huckleberry Hound.

I think those lunchboxes must be the rarest of the rare if the thermos still has the glass intact.

I’m pretty sure it was Miss Piggy.

It was a steel fixer up that my mom painted with blue enamel. Solid blue. It was some leftover paint that she used to paint my first bicycle.

Mine was red plaid metal with 2 yellow handles. I wish I had it!

Wonder Woman

Batman. It got tossed after I grew up and moved out. Kept my KISS albums and comics,model cars etc but lost em in the 90 flood.

At age six, I was a Snoopy man, through and through.

Snoopy “teddy bear”, Snoopy blanket and a Snoopy lunch box

Square, tartan, detachable lid, two handles came together on top to keep the bean sandwiches and peaches in a recycled mustard jar all in tact.

Brown paper bag for me, too.

I had a metal lunch box, painted with the Disneyland theme on it. Inside was a matching thermos bottle. If I still had it, it would be vintage stuff.

Yep, mine was a brown paper bag too.

Star Trek

And my mom still has it! The thermos has gone missing.

Mine looked very similar to blazer pockets, actually now you mention it…....

I also had an H.R. Pufnstuf metal lunch box. I loved that one!!!

I’m pretty sure I had this metal Battlestar Galactica one.
