We had shelves in our coat closets that didn’t go all the way to the end. Some last-arriving budding sociopath would always slam their lunchbox onto one end, and whoever had the one on the opposite end needed a new thermos, just like that.

...and if there were, they’d be just as fresh as they were when they left the factory.

Very interesting story.
I recall the BCD’s, only we called the BCG’s - birth control glasses. And I recall the glass thermos, which kept liquids cooler or hotter a lot longer than the metal ones.

During the all-class reunion we got a tour of the cafeteria.
The owner was still working there.

I’d guess they’d paint the insides white, so that could see what they were eating.

I last saw one at the Lunch Box Museum in Columbus, GA. Yes. It is real.

I had a box of them that somehow got shoved to back of cupboards down low, and one day i cleaned out the cupboard and fohnd the box, it was aboyt 7 years old. I opened them up and everyo e of them we open znd had tu4ned to a powder and crumbs. I think maybe mice had gotten into them. It was weird that they powdered up thogh.

Your post reminded me of Christmas Story. Sorry you were bullied like that, I had my moments too but still have so many fond memories.

I had one of those, but we had to try to store that in the coconut treetop, and it just kept falling right out and down onto the ground.
