Frozen Hi-C was a requirement for my 5th grade class! It was only that year’s homeroom class for some reason, and we’d all eat them as our morning snack. The teacher would come around and snip the tops for those of use who weren’t as good with teeth.

Basic-Place-4443@reddit

Rusty metal Star Trek, Star Wars, NFL Teams, all sandwiches were wrapped in foil and sat in that box for hours until lunch, and of course, a plastic thermos of milk that mom poorly washed out every day, so if you got orange juice instead of milk, it tasted extra funny.

A Miss Piggy one

Thundercats. I remember mom put spaghettios in the thermos. The orange never came out and I can still remember how it smelled every sip of juice.

CheesyRomantic@reddit

My mom hated lunch boxes because she thought they smelled. Lol

After much begging, I got a random lunch box from a local business that sold all different types of items. It was pale blue with two doll like kids eating luch/having a pick nic.

I remember feeling somewhat disappointed because it wasn't a care bear lunchbox. And it wasn't the right shape.

I took it to school... got on the school bus... and my 2 "best friends" told me my lunchbox was ugly. Other kids joined in...saying it looked old fashioned.

And I never used a lunchbox at school again.

Close. “Robots in Disguise!” was Transformers. Voltron was a different transforming robot show… well, human controlled mech suits. Anyway, Voltron was “The Defender(s) of the Universe!”

I had this one in 1st grade and a kid in my class kicked it and broke it and his dad bought me a new one (Fluppy Dogs, who I’d never heard of) but this one was special and irreplaceable 😢

My first lunch box was Dukes of Hazzard! It wouldn't be considered 'PC' these days, though. I loved the General Lee Charger, and wanted all things Dukes of Hazzard.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom metal lunchbox with orange trim in second grade.

I punched a kid in the chest for taking it from me, only to get sent to the principal’s office as the kid started having an asthma attack.

My mom was mortified; my grandpa said “you kicked ass”.

Treadingresin@reddit

I remember going through them quickly. I know I used hand me downs from my sister once or twice before I started getting my own. I needed a new one every year cause I was a pretty destructive kid. It wasn't even intentional just undiagnosed ADHD had me throwing stuff around and not an ounce of care or grace with objects.

I'm so jealous! We were too poor for cool lunchboxes. Heck, we were too poor to pack our lunches at all. Nothing but free school lunch for us! 😢

We were poor too, but I didn’t get “hot lunch” till I was older. Then it was free or reduced cost.

Plastic Hello Kitty Domed Top Lunchbox!

I loved my first lunchbox sooo much as a kid and I remember it being so cool cuz it had a domed top. It was plastic tho and the handle and hinges didn't last very long unfortunately. It was replaced with a Strawberry Shortcake metal lunchbox which I also loved but it wasn't the same.
