VINTAGE LUNCHBOX MEGATHREAD!
There is something deeply, nostalgic about the artwork on old lunchboxes. They meet at the crossroads of childhood, food, pop culture, & school/friends. Every day, for as long as I feel like, I'll be adding a new lunchbox to this thread!

I rolled to Kindergarten in style. My twin brother had Heathcliff by Aladdin Industries 1982
My favorite so far is a Disco Fever from 1980, which I hope at least some wayward youngsters stashed their booger sugar in, and didn't get hassled about by the fuzz or the other kids.
When the store was out of Power Rangers, VR Troopers, and Big Bad Beetleborgs...
Boy, that didn’t age well.
A decade and a half later, I got an MST3K lunchbox when I was buying any MST3K merch I could get my hands on. Still have it (unused) in a box somewhere.
There was a red sparkly Crest Sparkle lunchbox that I won in a spelling bee but the internet has turned up nothing in that regard.
the few lunchbox kids, the many regular-price kids, and the quiet reduced-price kids
I knew my parents loved me when I had a fresh lunch every morning. Then the lunches stopped coming.
I have loads of lunchboxes now. I especially love my Garf boxes

Used to watch Laugh-In reruns on Nick at Nite because I wanted to see the Monkees episode. Never did. Ended up becoming a strange mixture of JoAnn Worley and Ruth Buzzi in the hairnet, hitting the old man with her purse. 7 year old kids are easily influenced.
