Lunch boxes we had as kids
I don't know if kids now use them. But we sure did...well up to 6th grade when the bullies decided lunch boxes where for kids and destroyed them on site. We then all had to use paper bags to avoid their wrath.
I remember having this one. It had a game on the back side. It came with a spinner that decided the batter's fate. Very popular at recess.

My most practical lunch box was a 50# nail cardboard box after my high school years. Got morning and afternoon coffee and snacks in there plus two sandwiches, snack, and jar of milk for lunch!
Here's an example.

Hopalong Cassidy with matching thermos..... Early to mid-50s. Brown bag came after 5th grade. Hot school lunches started in 9th grade. Cost was 37 or 52 cents depending upon portion size. I always got the 52 cent size which has had a lasting effect that I regret today..... Jim

I carried one of my dads old work lunch boxes after mom got him a new one. The big high top one that had the large thermos in the top that was held in by a metal wire. And they was always painted black with white insides. But it was my dads and I was proud to use it even tho it was beat up and scratched all over from him taking it to work for years. Happy Trails to All.

Born in the depths of the Great Depression my school lunch was wrapped in newspaper or if I was luck, a brown paper bag. That carried through WWII. A REAL lunch box? You must have lived on the other side of the tracks.

I wondered what kids use now, so I amazon'ed it.

They are soft cloth now. And I am sure they don't include a Thermos lined in glass like what we had.

Yeah, imagine anyone trying to bring a thermos like that to market these days.
My mother would sometimes put a hot dog in a glass thermos and pore hot water in it. If you have never has a hot dog that has been steaming for a few hours you haven't lived.

I had the same, although it was all black. Made me feel grown up.

yes those were the good old days. When it was not how nice the box looked but how you was so proud to have it. Even if it was just a paper bag that your mom or dad wrote your name on it so you knew it was yours. And the bag worked really well on field trip to the park or museum.
