I don't remember but I know I had one. Maybe Jonny Quest? The earlier post kind of rings a bell. I do remember being in a hurry to get to the playground and sliding in down the hall into a steel column. When I heard that crunch, I knew I was in trouble. After that it was paper bags. PBJ, Laura Scudder chips and a twinkie or ding dong. Hot lunch was a quarter. I only did that when they served turkey and gravy over mashed potatoes. Sometimes we got seconds. I do have an autographed Bob Hannah lunch box on a shelf somewhere in the garage.

A plain domed black sheet metal, with two metal hasps, I think it was an Aladdin or maybe that was just the little metal/glass Thermos. I wanted to be just like Dad, so I had to have the big 'safety pin' made of gas welding rod through the latches. I used it up until Jr High when it became very uncool to bring your own lunch. Stored it away and damned if my son didn't find it and used it to haul Matchbox toys, then used it for school until about the 5th grade, when it became uncool to bring your own lunch. I saw it in my son's shop the other day, it is full of pop rivets. Hillbillys are the original recyclers.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I always ate the hot lunch. I did only when they had the stuff I liked. I think lunch was .75c and a “super” (extra entree) was a $1.25. I would give the student collecting the money a dollar and they’d give me a quarter back in change, which I’d give back to them and tell them I wanted a “super” lunch. I saved .25c with my elementary school scam. 😂

Hot lunch was a quarter. Was hard to make anything other than a dog turd between two slices of bread for that. Food was good. Yep. Very good.

We weren’t allowed extra until high school.
Then it was on.
Double fries, and two slice pizza 👍👍

I had the square metal Star Wars with a Thermos to match.
My twin brother had a Marvel one with the Fantastic Four, Thor etc.
I bought him a replacement a few years ago on Ebay for $75 or so. Brought back a bunch of memories.

Same here. We were too poor for anything fancy. Jim Yup, and had to reuse the paper bag until it was worn out. Velveeta cheese and spam, with celery sticks. Frikking' yum. Try trading either of those for a Twinkie. Wasn't happening.

That was before public schools became an industry, designed to extort as much money as possible from the citizenry, under the guise of educating students.
