Ouch!

I did see metal lunchboxes used as weapons in a few school yard fights!:giggle:
 
I like how the instructions are written. Pretty classic.

Times have really changed.

You should have been there for the bomb drills!:lol: They would have us get under our desks to protect us in case of a bomb being dropped in the area.:giggle: Even as a kid, I used to think "How the hell is this old wooden desk going to protect me from a WMD?"

Same here, lol. When I was a boy in Oklahoma, it seemed most of my neighbors had bomb/tornado shelters. You don't see many of those nowadays, hmmm.

No one thinks it is funny that your dad hit you in the head. I was laughing about the number of school yard fights I saw where the lunchbox was used as a weapon. Had nothing to do with you or your situation.

Yeah. All thermoses used to have a glass lining between the outside and the inside layers. Sometimes, you could accidently break the glass, and could feel it shaking around inside.

Yep, I used to have lunch boxes with the thermos back in the 50 and the 60. I really like them better than brown paper bags. It had brought me memories about them. Only thing is I forget what kind of characters that was on the front of the lunch boxes. Jillio, you are right when my thermos was broken, my mom had to throw them away. I had to be extra careful with them but sometime some of them get broke anyway. :ugh:
 
I only took lunch on the days we had "chicken surprise" for lunch. Then, it was brown paper bag.

Chicken surprise was tuna fish with I don't know what, shaped like a chicken leg, dipped in egg and rolled in bread crumbs and baked or fried. Disgusting piece of crap!!

I was a '70's kid. Started in 1969 and graduated in 1981.
 
Lol - I remember that. Nowadays, it's just brown paper sacks.

Grew up in the '80s and '90s - I was the last of Generation X - 1982.
 
First day of school, Lancaster, CA, 1959.

My brother had a metal Zorro lunch box with matching thermos (I was jealous because I loved Zorro).

I had a red vinyl box with generic kids on it.

Note what elementary girls wore to school then--a dress and "pearl" (plastic) necklace.
