lunchboxes
was in the car driving with talida today and we got to discussing lunchboxes. i think it might be because we were talking about old cartoons we used to watch (or at least that topic has been on my mind lately because of bryan’s forum) so i started thinking of my old lunchboxes and tried to find images of them on google. unfortunately, i wasnt able to find my first lunchbox.
my first lunchbox was in montessori. it was a pink strawberry shortcake lunchbox. the bottom part of the lunchbox was a solid light pink. the top was semi transparent/clear. and then there was a picture of strawberry shortcake…. i’m pretty sure it was strawberry shortcake, but all the strawberry shortcake lunchboxes i saw while searching looked nothing like my lunchbox! anyone out there remember such a lunchbox from circa 1986?
my second lunchbox was in kindergarten. it was a purple glo worm lunchbox. i used to love that tv show! … though now i can barely remember any of it at all. here’s a picture of the lunchbox i used to have:

after that, i can’t remember having a lunchbox! i think i started using brown paper bags. in 5th or 6th grade, my sister gave me a canvas lunchbox that said something like “save the earth” and had a picture of the globe on it.
what lunchboxes did you all have growing up?!

i had a minicooler one year, and like this blue thing that looked like a breifcase one year. then i decided the brown paper bag was a better choice
