After being ridiculed at school, I became a neo-luddite, and brown bagged it.

I had the snoopy doghouse lunchbox... would still use it today if I had it
Mine was red plaid.
One of Mine was Alvin and the Chipmonks. Also had a Combat lunch box
Beverly Hillbillies... wish I still had it. You’ve got to have the thermos too though; all I would have to do is sniff the inside of that lunchbox to be taken back to St. Mary’s Grade School, Georgetown SC, 1964
howdy doody here.
A fair guess is once ‘taxpayers’ were paying for ‘free’ lunches the metal lunchboxes just simply went extinct.
Probably not. A plastic shopping bag was just less labour intensive and it was re-usable.
They called you Flipper, Flipper! LOL! Yea, I see how you got ridiculed for that. You’re on FR so you turned out alright.

I was at a store yesterday when an employee walked in with his lunch in a vintage steel lunch box.
6 million dollar man and Star Wars here. by 6th grade (1982) i had transitioned to a brown styrofoam box with a plastic frame that held an ice pack-it was new and fancy and I could carry food that was friendly to my allergies.
In 1966 I had the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. I remember putting rocks in my thermos bottle, not knowing that the interior chamber was glass.
I remember that one. I can’t remember any of the lunch boxes I had.
You guys got lunch in school?
Had a rat patrol lunch box, like many things I wish I still had😂
I had a Munsters lunchbox with matching Thermos.
My mom had it on the electric stove one morning packing my lunch, and somehow the burner got turned on and burned a black spiral into the back side.
After that, lunchboxes of any sort became “uncool” so I just brown bagged it after that.
Ih had plenty of them with a corresponding thermos. Always knew it was broken glass inside when it sounded like ice chips in water...
Mine was a pre-Pebbles Flintstones one.
