[MorningGlow]

2. Ugly, but gods how I loved it

[Inspired]

6. I would have loved that lunchbox!

[Arugula Latte]

9. My sister had that one.

All I can think is:

Bah, bah bah bah, bah bah, bah bah bah
Bah bah, bah bah bah bah
I'm sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you
I think I love you

[woo me with science]

32. Laurie's head looks weird. nt

I was a bit old for a lunchbox by the time those came out, unfortunately.

[Arugula Latte]

[Arugula Latte]

[Rhythm]

28. I remember that one, too... n/t

[gristy]

14. Like JimGinPA, always in a brown bag

I think, anyways. It was a long time ago, on a planet far, far away...

[Aristus]

15. This was a popular one when I was in second grade:

[Arugula Latte]

17. Oh my gosh, I had a crush on what's his name

This guy, Randy Mantooth (as paramedic John Gage)

[oshyposhy]

22. SO DID I!

I remember the episode when the lady got her big toe stuck in her tub faucet!

[RoyGBiv]

16. WooHoo!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. I remember this one:

We might still have the thermos somewhere.

[Arugula Latte]

40. I think I had that one.

I was trying to recall mine ... I know there was also a Bugs Bunny one in there somewhere. That Peanuts thermos ... Yes, I'm sure I had that one.

[Chan790]

[Lady Freedom]

[kayakjohnny]

23. Well there were a lot of these around...

But I had this one, minus the thermos

[Lorien]

35. Hey, I had the plaid one AND the thermos!

but my thermos was smaller and had a white lid :shrug:

Kinda boring compared to most out there back then.

[Kali]

after I got to 7th or 8th grade and was sewing, some of us girls made drawstring lunch bags out of cool fabric.

[tigereye]

64. I had the plaid one with a small thermos inside!

glad you had the pic, I didn't feel like looking for one....

[driver8]

76. I had the plaid one, too -- in first grade.

Mine had a small thermos that fit inside the lunch box -- and I dropped it the first week of school and it broke. I was so upset...

[driver8]

77. I had the plaid one, too -- in first grade.

Mine had a small thermos that fit inside the lunch box -- and I dropped it the first week of school and it broke. I was so upset...

[elana i am]

24. i should have saved it i guess

but i had it in first and second grade and it was all beat up and the thermos was broken.



i found this pic on an antiques site. it's worth about 30$ now. the next one i had was like the rainbow brite one above, yellow and plastic, but it was the muppets instead.

[InvisibleTouch]

25. This one:

Korg 70,000 BC

I was always big into Dinosaurs, but for a while I had a "cave man" phase as well. My dad brought me this lunch box once while I was home sick in bad, and it's one of my happy memories. I didn't know it was based on a TV show and comic book until decades later.

Eventually the box got worn around the edges, handle broke, and my mom took it upon herself to throw it away. Grrrrr!

[Rhythm]

26. Mine from 1st grade... wish like hell i still had it!

Yes, i'm of the generation that had their childhoods warped by Sid and Marty Krofft!


By 5th grade, i had graduated to this one:


The episode with that tentacled creature gave me nightmares!

[jobycom]

33. I had the Space:1999 box, too.

[targetpractice]

60. I had the Space: 1999 lunchbox, too...

... and just about every other Space: 1999 product ever made.

Yes, the episode "Dragon's Domain" was terrifying! I re-watched it recently... It still is beyond creepy!

[Rhythm]

72. Where's you find it? I'd love to see it again...

Is it up on YouTube or do you have a DVD set that includes it?

[myrna minx]

63. I wanted the Space 1999 once soooo badly, but I never did get that one.

Eventually I did get:


and



I actually still have them both.

[Arugula Latte]

81. I still have an H.R. PufnStuf gold (plastic) flute from about 1970.

It still plays, too.

[gemdem]

29. My first and only lunchbox was a Hopalong Cassidy lunchbox

Don't have pic to post, but I'm guessing the lunchbox would be worth something today.

[mitchum]

30. Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy (Hanna Barbera B-listers)

[Lorien]

31. One I remember:

[Dangerously Amused]

46. That was mine, too. My favorite one anyway.

I still have it, but it's kinda banged up.

[Ptah]

47. No lunch for you. Three weeks!

:evilgrin:

[Dangerously Amused]

51. LOL!

:cry:

[jobycom]

34. Hong Kong Phooey!

[Arugula Latte]

41. Oh my gosh ... Hong Kong Phooey

Now I've got that song stuck in my head:

Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy.
Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.

[jobycom]

45. If you need help, here it is.

[Rhythm]

75. I've gotten OktoberKid to sing-along with me on that before...

Greatest moment of my preschool life was going to the Miami SeaQuarium, and getting to meet Fleagle.
I was 4, and i remember not wanting to stop hugging him. I hope the guy in the suit that day knew that he had met his "#1 fan."

[Arugula Latte]

79. You met Fleagle?

I hope you never never washed those arms that hugged him again. :)

[Rhythm]

82. Mom made me take a bath *pout*

To be fair, it had been a warm day, and we had been romping around the SeaQuarium all day, and i had gotten splashed by "Hugo the Killer Whale" during the show, so i'm sure i smelled fishy. *L*

[SoxFan]

36. Mine!

[Ptah]

37. woo hoo !!!

[mikeytherat]

57. Mine, too!

Rescued from the parents' attic a few years back.

44. I had a TMNT lunchbox

with Super-Shredder on it. Can't find an image though :(

[MilesColtrane]

48. First one I remember was this one:

Price tag seems to indicate that it's worth $125 now.

Holy Boomer Nostalgia Markup Batman!

[tigereye]

65. I remember that one!

I think my brothers had one. I probably wanted it desperately - I loved the show!

[Career Prole]

50. Dang! Someone just bought this one on E-bay for $375!

(I'm pretty sure mine didn't cost that much)

[Tighelander]

52. My Best Lunchbox had Games and Magnets on it

It had some games that worked with magnetic pieces that were included, even a spinner to take the place of dice. I think it led to the banning of such lunchboxes at my school.

[Jamastiene]

53. My mother said it was junk and made me throw it out.

Look at the price for it:

[Witchy_Dem]

54. Holly Hobbie comes to mind the most.

Though I also recall a Banana Splits lunch box at one point.

[JohnnieGordon]

55. I think it was a Scooby Doo box, but it's a very distant memory

Nearly 40 years ago. Maybe something like this:

?v=0

[lizerdbits]

56. The Muppet Movie

I can't find a pic of what I *think* it looked like. I'm pretty sure it involved the 'Hollywood' sign.

[Orsino]

[mentalsolstice]

66. I had the Flying Nun

[Dr. Strange]

67. Battle of the Planets

Envy me!

[Rhythm]

78. Hey... that's what got me hooked on 'anime'

My best friend Kelly's dad had a big-screen projection system (first one i'd ever seen... but Ronel always had the cool new electronic toys first), and our whole gang (Kelly, me, Jeff, Lori, and Teresa, as well as Kelly's older sisters Terri, and Juile ) would run like mad children and dive onto the couches in the den at 4pm to watch that. *L*

[jus_the_facts]

68. Little House on the Prairie n/t

[Rambis]

80. I remember that one.

It's so friendly. "Have lunch with Snoopy." Why, okay, I think I will. :)

By the power of Grayskull!

[BeachBaby]

84. Holly Hobbie.

I still have my doll. :)

[pokerfan]

85. Found mine!

[SacredCow]

86. Most of the schools I went to had cafeterias...

so I bought my lunch most of the time.

But if I were to carry one, this probably would have suited me best.
