I carried this to school; what did you carry?

[GOPisEvil]

1. I had several lunchboxes, including...ADAM-12!

[Thtwudbeme]

2. That is such a BOYS lunchbox!

I was poor...we only had one lunchbox----

*sniff*

[GOPisEvil]

3. I am an only child, and therefore spoiled rotten!

:D

[AlCzervik]

4. we were also poor

[u4ic]

37. COOL!

What I wouldn't have given for an Emergency lunchbox...(so I could stare at Randolph Mantooth all day :loveya: )

[GOPisEvil]

51. If I remember correctly, these shows aired back to back.

Jack Webb produced both, I think.

I was a total fan of both shows. :D

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. My mom made us carry a paper sack.

It still bothers me. I always wanted a cool lunch box.

[Thtwudbeme]

6. Oh that's so sad!

We were poor too, but Mom got my sister and me lunchboxes---one each. We carried them for years too.

[proud2BlibKansan]

I'm thinking I may need therapy one day

[BrotherBuzz]

34. Mom was one of those early recyclers - my bag was always a crappy used one

Oh, the shame of having to drag a huge wrinkled paper sack to school with my name emblazoned in crayon on the side while all the other kids had the nice new crisp store bought bags.

[mykpart]

40. I carried some big wrinkled bags too.

My mother wasn't a recycler, just disorganized, so she frequently forgot to buy lunch bags. Since there were 3 kids, sometimes it was a challenge to find 3 used bags, too. I used to try to fold mine into as small a package as possible. Always had one of these 3 lunches: Bologna sandwich, Spam sandwich, Cheese sandwich, all on white bread, wrapped in waxed paper. I made certain that my kids either had lunchboxes or store-bought, appropriate-sized paper bags. And plastic baggies!

[u4ic]

36. Same here

with the SAME lunch in it every day. x(

Ham sandwiches with a little mustard, and a small piece of iceberg lettuce, on white. And a Joe Louis, the best part of the lunch. :thumbsup:

She did spoil me when I went home for lunch; that's when I had the hot roast beef or chicken sandwiches (with gravy). :bounce:

[lakemonster11]

41. At my elementary school paper sacks were cooler than

lunch boxes. You'd get teased if you brought a lunch box after first grade.

[JVS]

7. this

[Thtwudbeme]

8. A whole dollar???

Good lord...how old are you? It cost us about .35 cents or so-

[JVS]

10. started around .75 ended around 1.25

[aclog]

26. Oh I was thinking it was for snorting coke

lunch be damned

[proud2BlibKansan]

49. I can beat that

We paid 40 cents for a whole week. So our lunches were only 8 cents a day. And my mom was too cheap to let us buy our lunch!!

[Nikia]

28. I also carried money

My mother insisted that we buy our lunch even though our city elementary school lunch wasn't very good due to the fact that it was trucked in.
On the rare occaisions that we had to pack a lunch, like for a school field trip, I used a paper bag.

It was a tough neighborhood, and no one ever took my lunch money!

[Thtwudbeme]

21. Oh, whatever!!!! Liberal arts majors can be so melodramatic!

;)

[Zomby Woof]

23. I was such a geek

My first lunch box was a Peanuts (Charlie Brown) one, which got me from 1st through 3rd grade before it fell apart (yes, the metal kind), and then in 3rd grade, in 1976, a funny kind of satirical Bicentennial lunchbox.

And in 5th grade, my last metal one, was a METRIC SYSTEM lunch box. THE METRIC SYSTEM.

It had conversion tables and everything.

The 70's were seriously damaging.

[DanCa]

19. My mom gave me a superman lunch box back in the days of metal.

No one messes with you when you had a metal lunch box. Can you say cuts and bruises :D

[pitohui]

[WolverineDG]

53. I got a new one every year

until Junior High, but I can only recall 2: Peter Pan (1st grade) and Donny Osmond (3rd grade I think).

Anyone remember the metal in the Thermos before they sealed it in? It was an every-day ritual in the cafeteria: open your lunch box, take out your thermos, hold it next to your ear & shake it. You could tell which kid had the broken thermos...their face went white because all of us were threatned with certain death if we broke our thermoses. :scared:

[tigereye]

54. I had that one too!
