Some of you whippersnappers might have carried one of these, not that you'd admit it.

Vintage lunchboxes? Those are from the 70's. That's not vintage. I bet they were soft sided, so the overprotected little darlings wouldn't get hurt, poke their eyes out on a corner or something.

My lunchbox was 60's and metal, with metal clasps that could pinch your finger if you weren't careful. And it was a nice, tasteful plaid.

TV characters? BAH!

Well, MY lunchboxes were from teh 1950s, metal and... wait a minute. I didn't have a linch box. I had a brown paper bag. I didn't have a thermos, I had milk money. But I KNEW a kid who had a lunch box that I coveted. It had Red Ryder on it, and Little Beaver too.

I afraid it was a 60's box for me. A Bonanza special. Go get 'um Little Joe!

Richard, when I was in school, I, too, coveted little beaver.

We didn't have lunch boxes when I was a kid because Lunch hadn't been invented yet. We got up in the morning two hours before we went to bed, ate a handful of cold gravel, then walked five miles through the snow to work 14 hours in a coal mine. And when we dragged ourselves home, exhausted, our parents beat us to sleep with a strap. If we complained, they'd strangle us to death, then dance on our graves.

But if you told that to kids nowadays, they wouldn't believe you.

But I believe you.

Bill, I meant to attribute that last bit to "The 1948 Show", a PYTHON precourser with John Cleese Graham Chapman & Marty Feldman.
