      I remember having...

      Road Runner
      Kung ** (TV show)
      Emergency
      Superman (movie)

      I recently picked up a 1966 Batman and Robin and a 196? Yogi Bear one. I'm a sucker for these things.

        I just picked up a Marvel Spidey/Hulk/Captain America metal box from 1980. It has some killer graphics on it. Cap takes up one whole side, and the figure is a swipe from Steranko, with Kirby foreground elements!!!

            Had a plastic Peanuts lunch box, back when most lunch boxes were metal. My favorite, though - and one that didn't get used much - was my BATTLE OF THE PLANETS lunch box... Which I still have!

                After that, it was a Star Wars one, and then an Empire Strikes Back one.


                Edit: Just found a picture of the Marvel lunchbox on the net.

                I just found another of these last week at a flea market and upgraded from the one that had some rust spots on it.

                I remember encountering this tin version and being really surprised because the Canadian one I had as a kid was red plastic with the same graphic as a sticker in front (Thor Spiderman Cap), and it didn't have the graphics on the side nor the FF on the back.

                I always wondered what was up with that and why we didn't have the tin ones (as far as I can remember).

                        I remember..

                        Evel Knievel
                        Star Wars ANH
                        Marvel Super Heroes

                        I probably had more over the years, but those I distinctly remember.

                            That's it! That just unlocked the memory of my Marvel lunchbox fully. I now realize I had the plastic version too.

                            When I found that picture of the metal one, there was something about it that didn't seem exactly right, but I couldn't quite place it.
                            Now I know it's because I had the Canadian plastic version!

                            Just had a quick look, but can't seem to find any pics of the plastic one anywhere on the net.
