Laura Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I remember wax paper wrapped sandwiches, bologna or some such thing. An apple. Probably homemade cookies. Bought milk at the school but don't remember how much it cost. In grade school we had milk in the afternoon, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 My Mom was mad at my Dad for something so when she made his lunch she cut out a piece of wax paper the shape of the bread and put it inside his sandwich. All day long she worried that she had done the wrong thing; then she was mad that he didn't call and say anything about it the tasty paper. So, at dinner she confessed....turns out he never noticed the wax-paper in his sandwich and ate the whole thing Yum!

ECatw Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Did you guys ever have anything in your Thermos?I usually had tea, sometimes fruit punch, and once in awhile chicken noodle soup when it was cold but those darn noodles would always get stuck in the bottle. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I ALWAYS had tea! My aunts claimed I was weaned on tea, being half-Irish.When Imade soup and stuck it into the Thermos, I couldn't get the darn stuff outta it.Tip: Never drink tea while reading here on your computer! Sometimes Cartmill's cracks have me roaring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boopell Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thank you for the welcome. I'm more than a little behind on posts considering how long I've been a member. I'm a regular reader (lurker-eavesdropper),though. And yes I can truly appreciate the eccentrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I still have this one (in about the same shape). I'm betting Bernie will dig it, also Ebay item #280200841179 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kiwi Connection Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Kia Ora Ya'll Greetings from New Zealand, Boopell. We know you'll have a great time here.And just for the record, I'm NOT one of the aformentioned "Nuts" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sllvnbil Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 BERNIE!!!!! I HAD THAT SAME LUNCH BOX!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I know there was a light-blue Monkees lunch box in the house, but I'm certain one of my four sisters used it.... I stuck with a superhero box --- Batman, I believe (though I could be wrong). PS: Bernie, did I give you a copy of the Insider issue where we mentioned your Apollo XI website? If so, you might have noticed the Lost In Space lunchbox that recently sold for $1,500 on p. 15. It's amazing what some of those things are worth now.... I just got a note from a writer that a mint-condition 1954 Superman lunchbox just sold for around $19,500. Yikes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid C. Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yes Bernie, the Lost in Space box was cool. I always wanted to get either the Supercar or Fireball XL5 lunch boxes based on the hokey but fun marionette sci-fi shows. Parents said paper bags were good enough.Oddly enough, I found the Supercar box in a vintage bookstore in Cambria, CA while on a motorcycle trip a few years back. Seventy-five bucks! For that kind of money, it would have to have been autographed by Mike Mercury and all his string-suspended pals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Fireball XL5 rocked! ("Okay, Venus?" "Okay, Steve?" "Right. Let's go!") I had the Marx spaceship! Wish I had one of those now.BerniePS: How sucky was it to drop your thermos and then hear the broken glass sloshing around your milk inside?

angelina Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thermos....when you put a hot liquid in...it stays hot....when you put a cold liquid in...it stays cold.How does it know the difference? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneG Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Considering a thermos has a vacuum, I don't think it knows much 'bout nuttin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid C. Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 FAB, Bernie! It's good to know that there are still some Gerry Andersen fans floating about!Reid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
