    What kind of lunch box did you have as a child?




    Remember those square, tin lunchboxes with the matching thermos inside? Well, if you don't then you're way younger than me!

    But if you do, what kind did you have? Did you have one with superheroes on it? or a rock band?

    I recall having a few growing up: one was a red/black plaid pattern and I remember one nasty little girl telling me my lunchbox was "boring"! the nerve of her. I love plaid, btw.

    Another one I had was a Flinstones lunchbox, and another one I had was not tin but more of a vinyl material and it was purple and multi-colored with all these mushrooms printed all over! What do you expect, it was the 1970's after all!

    How about you?

    well, you can re-live your childhood, Tracey. Just gotta dole out some $$ and you can have H.Hobby and Snoopy hold your sandwiches once again. Heck, i might even get one of those plaid ones myself!

    I also had the plaid one. I must be older than you guys because I think I was too old for holly hobby. You should see the gigantic bag I carry for lunch now.
