So Spank Me

:Stolen Thread:



When you were a kid did you have a lunch box and if so what/who was on it????

[PashkinThePanther]

Actually, I had school lunches as our family qualified for them. We were not well off for most of that time.

PS completely off topic, go Panthers! :D The only thing that can distract me from Pixies...

[fenderchick]

Oh, I had school lunched also. I messed out on lunch boxes!!!

[dreamgurl]

Fragle rock, then barbie and then New kids on the block

don't ask lol

[jennaflower]

brown paper bags for me... :(

I think I am gonna need years of therapy about this now that I have realized it...

[Lilith]

Great I have managed to take what I thought would be a "feel good" thread topic and caused childhood flashbacks and lined the pockets of therapists everywhere:p:D

[PashkinThePanther]

Although we weren't well off, it never bothered me, cos I had a loving family. Even now, I'm close to my parents and sister.

PS If the Carolina Panthers win tonight, the therapist shall be not needed!

I'm drawing a blank, too. I think I might have Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman at some point . . . Scooby Do is ringing a bell . . .

[Cheyanne]

I had Dukes of Hazzard too!!!!! Bo & Luke... <sigh>

[Grumble]

I had a mickey mouse one in early primary

Later on just a plain coloured one (not cool to have characters on them in high school)

[musketeer]

I had school lunches most of the time so didn't have a lunch box so to speak but the odd times I did take them I seem to remember something from tupperware

I had a cloth lunch bag that Mom made. It was about the same size & shape as a paper lunch bag but the top closed with a snap & it had a handle. I didn't care about not having a lunch box but ohhhhh how I wanted one of those little thermos bottles that came in them. Water from the bubbler was my lunch time drink.

We were on A.F.D.C. (Aid For Dependent Children). Back then they gave you surplus foods. (Some was good but the canned chicken & powdered milk left alot to be desired.) Usually lunch was 2 slices of home-made bread and a thick slice of government issued cheese. (good cheese!!) Once in awhile we'd have peanut butter (gov. pb. is yucky) unless its used for pb. cookies, which if we were lucky we'd get 1 or 2 for lunch. We qualified for the school lunch program but Mom never wanted to put in for it. Why? I don't know.

Lilith, No therapy wanted here. We were poor but happy and for the most part my childhood memories are all good. A few sour ones here & there but I don't dwell on those. I have friends who grew up with money, hated thier chilhood and are the most miserable ppl I know.

As an adult I finally got one of those little thermos bottles. And ya know what..... thier no big deal. roflmao!!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :)

i had like a little plain igloo cooler.. ripped that.. and then was just brown paper bags... my father was and still is military so its like you get 1.. then after that your on your own hehe

[saggybear]

must have had a lunch box or two but all I remember is brown paper bags. My dad owened the busses so I use to tke his lunch and give it to our driver in the morning cause mother didn't want to get up with him.

[Oldfart]

Lunchbox?

Brown paper bag for you lad.

[Ryan²]

LOL - I had 3 types of lunches during my school days:

[list]
School cooked lunches
Lunches in a lunchbox
Packed lunches the school provided and you could go off and eat it anywhere in the school grounds. On collection of the lunch, you had to tell 'em what you would want tomorrow.

[LixyChick]

My mom knitted me a lunchbox from a roadkill dinosaur we scooped up before the neighbors could get it! It was just a wee dinosaur.....but we were able to make placemats from her hide too! People would pay 15 rocks and a virgin cave girl for stuff like that....way back when!

JK.....um......I was on aid as well....and had a ticket that would get punched for a provided school lunch. I was embarrassed of that for a while...and never got in line with my friends when I got my lunch....but one day a friend saw me and thought it was "cool" that I got "free" lunches......and eventually I found a way to share the ticket for some friends who hated what they were given from home! In retrospect.....it was a form of stealing....in that the tax payers paid for me to have that ticket......but I knew no better at the time. If I did bring lunch to school.....it was in a brown paper bag! Ergo.....the reason I don't have any of those in my house, as an adult, to this day!

P.S. Lil? It's not a bad memory........just a memory of things that make me who I am today! We did what we could to get by! I'm here to talk about it....and so......life goes on!

[MilkToast]

I only had one that I can remember... a metal one made by Aladdin. Other than who made it the only part that I remember of it was that it had a dragster on the cover.

[lakritze]

Brown paper bags for me too.I remember those old milk cartons that were made of heavely waxed cardboard with a separate drinking hole cover stappled to the top and crimped over the side.
