I always hated lunchboxes. No matter how much my mum washed it, it smelled and then the smell invaded my sandwich because it was wrapped in waxed paper.:yelsick:

Then it wasn't packed right. My Lunchbox never ever smelled.

Smelly boxes = poor hygiene

Coke for breakfast, Sundae Girl?

No thanks, I like smack.

Diet Coke, please :)

Speaking of breakfast, I think I'm going to White Castle.

A high post count is not as rewarding to me as starting a thread that generates a lot of responses.

Wolf, the rubber strap and briefcase were for misfits. Either you carried them in a stack against your side (the front was for girls) or in your "gym bag". Anything else would get your balls busted.

ravenranter, waxed paper? even hear of plastic zip-lock bags?

A high post count means nothing except that you have too much time on your Goddamned hands. :D

. . . or are addicted to the Internet.

Just to clarify--this is a place to put one-off, random, or silly posts that don't rise to the level of a whole thread itself. I find it useful for sharing my occasionally brilliant bon mots.

ahem.

Oh no...any post can rise to the level of a thread. This is the Cellar after all.

See? Forget middle school, high school, there's still popularity need on the Internet!

Anyways, I used a brown paper bag for grades 6-12. Lunch boxes were strictly for elementary school. You couldn't be popular if you brought a bright green lunchbox (actually for me it'd be a mushy soft bag) to school and had to take it with you to recess....

No, my mum washed my lunchbox every night. I think my lunch box smelled funky because the waxed paper allowed odors to co-mingle, giving me tuna salad sandwiches with apple-flavored bread. That, and there were no gel packs. There were no ziplock bags: It was either waxed paper or "sandwich" bags...Mind you, I'm talking about the 60's and 70's.

They fed us at the schools I went to. I'd give 5 dollars for one of those little rectangular pizzas right now! :)
