Lunchboxes!

[fuzzybuddy]

I had a metal lunchbox. I sdon't know why I had one, since I came back home for lunch.??? Don't remember what was printed on it-probably Roy Rogers. I hated the smell of it. You could smell that bologna ( which should be spelled "baloney") odor 20 feet away. The thermos had a funky odor ,too.

My metal lunchbox was made before they put pictures on them. It was dark blue, my favorite color. My Mother painted my name on it.
I still have it!

In the late 60's, when I started school (kindergarten), it was only half a day long, and parents had a choice between having their children attend a morning or afternoon class. I attended the morning class.

I remember packing cookies to kindergarten and the teacher serving a glass of milk to each of us when snack and naptime came.

I even remember having a small fragment of carpeting with my name on it (everyone in the class did), and when the lights went out and we'd lay our heads down on our desks for our short daily nap, we had the carpet fragment to rest our heads on.

This popped up in my newsfeed today. Even though the article is 10 years old it still and interesting read. I figured there would be a lunch box topic already posted here And I had the Peanuts lunch box as a kid.

Classic TV shows were the best.

Brown bag if we had one, empty bread sack if not. Usually bologna if we were flush, PB otherwise. An apple or banana if we were lucky. Nickle to get a carton of milk.

Funny that you mention brown bag because it reminded me that taking a brown bag lunch to school instead of a lunch box was sort of a rite of passage from being a kid to a teenager and "all grown up"..lol.

I never had a lunch-box......I had school dinners.

We took our peanut butter sandwiches in a brown bag and our milk in a glass jar. One day my milk leaked out all under my chair. Talk about a funky odor

I took a plastic tuppaware box with ham sandwiches and piece of fruit and a sweet (candy) at the bottom of it. I always knew it was there and ate the candy in the morning break. In Scotland, a snack at school breaktime is called a "playpiece"
