Old school metal lunch boxes
« on: August 12, 2010, 06:31:57 pm »
I totally want one.  I was in Goodwill the other day and saw a metal Old Navy lunch box and it made me reminisce about carrying a lunch box in elementary school.  The one I remember the most was a light blue Disney lunch box with a lot of the Disney characters.  I remember using it to hold my crayons.  I totally want a metal lunch box now.   What kind did you have?

When I attended on a school field trip, I carried an old Holly Hobby lunch box. It's very cute. It also came with a small thermo for drinks. Although the material is metal, I can still remember the distinctive smell of sandwiches inside the lunch box.  ;D

I was psyched to find this link. It was the same lunch box that I had when I was a little girl.  :heart:

It look just like this one : http://cutest-little-things.blogspot.com/2010/01/old-school-lunch-boxes.html

I had one but i dont remember which one it was.  But if you saw one that is reminicent of your childhood go ahead and get it. Now you can put your bills in it. LOL

I totally had that for a year or two!  I also, if I recall, had a Thundercats and Voltron with the included thermos!

i saw the lunchboxes themselves at old navy and
thought they were pretty cute, but the original ones
are much cooler (i agree!) ... between my fiance and
i, we own a few! i have a smurf lunchbox that i found
at a flea market for $3. i really couldn't pass it up.

i also have an 'i love lucy' one, but its not an oldie.
it was a present from a few years ago that i haven't
been able to part with  :P

I felt really important having a thermos, too!!!

me too. the word "thermos" made it sound important.
i loved it because my dad had one that he'd take to
work when i was little, too.  :heart:
[ we all have a place in history. mine is in the clouds. ]

The only metal lunch box that I can remember was a red plaid one.   
Boy was my mom mad when I used it to sit on and sled down the
street on my way to school.
I think after that I only got paper bags.

I carried little brown "sack lunch" bags.  I would have loved a metal lunch box!
