Charlie's Angels.
My friend had a Miss Piggy lunch box. The ultimate compliment we could pay to a boy was to gang up on him and hit him with our lunch boxes.

Two I remember were Annie and Snoopy. Annie was metal, but I think the Snoopy was plastic.

Packing was a once a week treat. "We can't pack a lunch for the money we pay for a perfectly good hot lunch." Good, by whose standards?!
My favorite childhood lunch box was metal and shaped like a school bus. It had Disney characters in the windows with Pluto running outside the bus. I loved that thing! Mostly because it wasn't square like everyone else's and it also had a metal thermos.

I was JUST about to post that the fabulous game was called Mystery Date and the lunchbox was Campus Queen, when I kept reading to see what you added. Needless to say, I had the lunchbox too and :love:ed it!! There was a little board game on the back! And Cyndi Lauper had it in her video for Time After Time, lol.

I had a couple of plastic Peanuts lunchboxes...then a metal Holly Hobbie...finally a metal Muppets. Then I moved on to seventh grade and brown paper sacks.

In first grade I had Snoopy and my senior year I had Indiana Jones. I don't remember in between.

I almost can't remember. My first one was red plaid with a matching thermos. I know I had a Partridge Family one even though I was too old for it because it had David Cassidy on it, or maybe it was my sister's. Other than that I just don't remember.

I had the old school metal lunchboxes in Strawberry Shortcake, Smurfs, & Wonder Woman in elementary school. They were replaced with disposable brown or white paper lunch bags - that I often reused/recycled - in middle & high schools.

Campus Queen!!! I covet that thing. I stalk Ebay constantly for it but don't want to pay $75. In a perfect world, I will come across it innocently at a shop and it will not be rusty, it will have a perfectly in tact thermos and the game pieces and spinner! One can only hope.

My mom hated characters so we were not allowed to have them - on clothing, on posters, on folders, on lunchboxes, etc. She would be a force in a "character clothing" debate thread. So I had a pink plaid lunchbox. Ha! This is me! My girls are 12 & 9. Now it's not a battle I fight. Dd12 picked out a TeenageMutant Ninja Turtle lunchbox. I told her she needed to be prepared to carry it all year.

I remember a Strawberry Shortcake, Cabbage Patch Kids and an Annie (metal) lunch box. I think I may have had a My Little Pony, too. Funny how all those things came back!

Sigmund and the Sea Monsters! And because of loving the show, I can not eat Frisse. I call them Sigmunds and pick them out of my salad.
Before Sigmund it was Snoopy. And after it was brown bags.

Junior Miss! I had the same one all through elementary. You didn't get a new one every year back then. I still love it though. I bought one on Ebay.

I was a total math geek even in elementary school. I had a metal metric conversion lunchbox that I absolutely loved! It was blue and had a centipede and a weight-lifter with conversion charts for all kinds of measurements.
Ha! I just did a search for images of my awesome lunchbox and found a blog about the 10 worst lunch boxes - the metrics box was #3!

We recently drove down the 5 from San Francisco to San Diego. We stopped in the middle of nowhere for the night and ate at the Apricot Inn Restaurant (or something like that). Anyway, the restaurant owner had a large metal lunchbox collection on the wall and he had many of the matching thermoses. That collection must be quite valuable and the cashier said some are also rare. DH loved walking around looking at all the different ones. He had them grouped by category like TV shows, musical groups, etc. You would never think you'd stumble across something like that in the boonies like that.

Holly Hobbie. My mom hated characters so we were not allowed to have them - on clothing, on posters, on folders, on lunchboxes, etc. She would be a force in a "character clothing" debate thread. So I had a pink plaid lunchbox. My mom wasn't so much against characters as she was paying more for branded clothes with obvious logos (Izod, etc). She would say they should pay us for being a walking advertisement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a Scooby Doo lunch box that I loved. It was the old school metal ones. I had the Scooby Doo one, too. That was my favorite cartoon.
