From kinder to second, I went to a private school where bringing your own lunch wasn't an option (nobody had food allergies back then,) and they would physically make everyone take a bite of nasty-ass overcooked spinach when it was served.

From 3rd to 6th, I went to a public school that had this rule that you could not buy more than one chocolate milk carton. So I had my mom send an empty bottle in my soft-sided lunchbox, and I would buy one chocolate and one white milk and mix them together so that I had twice as much chocolate milk.

Once I got to junior high they offered random crap beyond the balanced tray meals, like Frito pie and chocolate chip cookies. So I ate that every single day for 3 years, until my friends were old enough to drive and we would go off-campus.

Oh God, you just encapsulated my entire Cellar experience in that post.

That's exactly how it feels when I don't have time to come around often enough to keep up with things.

School cafeteria food was abysmal in all 6 of the elementary schools I went to...except for the first one where my aunt was the cook for some 30 kids from K-6. Food there was good. Jr. High got significantly better...I bought funyuns and blue slushie every day until I had the flu one day and I haven't had funyuns or blue slushie since.

Bags on the East Coast, Sacks in the Midwest. Not sure what they are in the actual West.

Then there's the whole Lunch Box/Pail/Bucket conundrum.

Mine was always a Lunch Box. With Batman, Green Hornet, the Monkees, Apollo Program (I think, or maybe my friend had that one), and the "new" US Mail logo when that came out in the early 1970s.

Wow. Leads me to wonder if I have any old me with a lunchbox pics? I'll have to take a look.

My current lunchbox is HelloKitty, which should not come as a surprise to anyone. My alternate lunchbox is an LLBean one, with an embroidered moose. The design was discontinued.
