6 million dollar man and Star Wars here. by 6th grade (1982) i had transitioned to a brown styrofoam box with a plastic frame that held an ice pack-it was new and fancy and I could carry food that was friendly to my allergies.

In 1966 I had the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. I remember putting rocks in my thermos bottle, not knowing that the interior chamber was glass.

I remember that one. I can’t remember any of the lunch boxes I had.

Bingo. I never had one, it was brown bagging K-12. K-8 no cafeteria, you ate at your desk and got a 5-cent milk. HS food sucked. Not allowed off campus either.

So did I!!! But, stopped taking my lunch to high school because our cafeteria food was soooo good (pizzas, hamburgers and French fries, chili con carne and homemade yeast rolls whose smell wafted through the hallways all made from scratch by amazing school lunch ladies who had nonstop smiles for us as they gave us a little extra ‘because we looked especially hungry today’! 💖)

Mine had a sticker with a picture of a FB-111, out of Lakenheath, with a mushroom cloud, saying Warsaw Pact Central Heating. Needless to say, it was not exactly politically correct.

I had a Munsters lunchbox with matching Thermos.
My mom had it on the electric stove one morning packing my lunch, and somehow the burner got turned on and burned a black spiral into the back side.
After that, lunchboxes of any sort became “uncool” so I just brown bagged it after that.

Ih had plenty of them with a corresponding thermos. Always knew it was broken glass inside when it sounded like ice chips in water...

I think it had to do with plastic being cheaper to make. Free lunches came later.

I never had a lunch box in school. I went home every day for lunch until 7th. grade, then had hot lunch in the cafeteria.

That same plaid box was what was passed down to me from my older siblings, each in turn. I remember is smelled weird, so I just brown bagged my bologna and cheese on Wonder Bread, and an apple or banana instead.

That’s the one. And it had cold fried egg sandwiches (with mustard) in it about every day.
