What do you think of when you think high school think? Playgrounds, favorite teacher molested? Some of us have memories, others ... Well, not so nice.
One thing that does not generate in my mind, however, was lunch. Not standing up for the long lunch lines myself! Absolutely not! My mother made sure that I am going to have nutritious meals. Would each year in the month of August we hunt ... yep ... Lunch boxes to go. It 'been a process. After all, would be the right one, one that would show mypreferred ... Whatever the year. This was part of the fun of shopping to find the right one was my personality or mood at that moment.
Here is some 'history on lunch boxes, they were just the beginning of the 20 th Century, are used when humans began using tobacco boxes for lunch and the school radius. You can imagine the smell that went along with every bite of sandwich? Yuck! The first lunch boxes were made at INCO mines in Sudbury, Ontario.
In 1935, Geuder and PaeschkeFrey produced the first licensed character lunch tin, "Mickey Mouse". It 'was lithographed tin, an oval and had a pull-out of the tray. It contained what they called the "vacuum flask" what we know today as the thermos.
In 1950, Aladdin Industries created the meal with a pond on Hopalong Cassidy. It sold 600,000 in its first year!
Remember that your pool favorite lunch? Superman? Partridge Family? Bears? Barbie? How about Archie comics, or peanuts or Supercar?There was a tin lunch for everyone! Unfortunately, he made of metal or tin lunch boxes in 1980 because of concerns they used as weapons in the playground .. In 90 years, people had pretty much stopped buying altogether, although still do a bit of vinyl or plastic. Too bad. It 'been fun that first day of school "show off" our packed lunch (Never Mind the content!) Seeing what my friends were in fashion.
Some of your older, those in good shape, actually for a salea few thousand dollars! I want to lie around in your attic? It 'was a long lost. The fun news is that "retro lunch boxes" out there. A few places and they continue to sell some antique shops.
