I had a Roadrunner lunch box and my brother had a Peanuts lunch box when we were kids. A neighbor girl had a Bugaloos lunch box. Wish I had them now. They'd probably be worth some money to collectors.

I've owned 3 Lunchboxes in my childhood. My last was a " Masters of the Universe" with flip n sip Thermos I picked out at the store MYSELF. When I 1st saw the commercial for flip n sip made for kid's Lunchboxes in 2nd grade, I WANTED 1 right then & there. It would be about 5th grade before my wish was granted. Lunchboxes were the "bling-bling" of the time, a status symbol with appealing perks, not having to wait in line to lunch chief among them. 😭They just don't make'em like that...anymore😔.

Lunchboxes used as weapons in schools😱? WTF, I've never heard of this before, unthinkable. Kids Lunchboxes were our bling-bling & using such for violence was out of the question lest they be taken from Us by grownups & who wants that?

Lunch boxes for sale in September and boxes of Halloween costumes in October! Now, sadly, it is Christmas decorations before summer is over.

Was hoping to catch a glimpse of my lunch box, I just remember it being a metal Garfield one- loved that lunch box and was sad when my mom got rid of it due to the rust. Seeing a few of the ol' metal tv dinner trays brought back a lot of nostalgia for me, I had a Strawberry Shortcake one and I think my brother had a Knight Rider one.

In all my time shopping vintage shops & toy/collectible expos I've never seen a lunch box protector. Your idea of some sort of application is intriguing - I'd be worried about long-term reactions with untested chemicals. My method of protection is to clean & dry thoroughly and then keep out of direct sunlight.

This museum have the 1973 mattel Sizzlers pit box ? Looks like a lunch box but is actually a vehicle carry case. Is vinyl, has white 9 compartment shelving insert inside, with a port window for a 2D battery car charger to peak thru. Cant show pic here. Also; what of the 1970-71 mattel--plastic sizzlers lunch box ? And mattel made a vinyl one also. The plastic one is blue with a simple sticker mattel made for its idenity.
