My Kindergarten lunchbox was Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers in 1990. Mother gave it away by the time I was 10, but somehow, someway, I found it again at a local flea market two years ago. It was the exact same one I carried back then because it still had the Highlights Magazine dinosaur sticker inside of it that I put there.
I remember when I had my lunchboxes! It was cool! having the thermos an the box with my favorite characters. This was an excellent video. I had no idea of the history of these metal "wonders." :)
My first lunch box was the Fall Guy lunch box shown at 2:22. I still have it (despite being rusted on one side really bad) complete with thermos and it is on display in my man cave to this very date. It was the only metal lunchbox I ever had. After that I got a blue plastic GIJoe lunchbox which didn't compare in quality to the metal one. A friend of ours gave me the metal E.T. lunchbox in excellent condition and it sits right along side my Fall Guy one. Memories how they linger!!!
I'm Spaniard, and here the lunchbox thing is an unknown phenomenon (in fact, I discovered this word through the eponymous song by Marilyn Manson). Thanks for the documentary!
I had the metal GI Joe, one. It sat in the upper shelf of our kitchen cupboard for ages until I was probably in highschool or my dad ended up using it for something else because it was a metal box. In my mind's eye I can still see it sitting on that shelf.
My Mom did the exact same thing. In a small kitchen cupboard over the sink. Tucked to one side was my grey "Roger Rabbit" lunchbox, next to the tupperware!
I Remember I Used to Have a Plastic Blue Lunchbox From THERMOS® And It Had of Drum Rolls Please Sticker Front Cover of BATMAN Theme From DC Comics® And G.I.JOE And My Little Pony Was Made Too By The Same Companies That I Mention You Know? THERMOS® Company That Makes Lunchboxes It Was Awesome!!!!
My first lunch box I had when I was in kindergarten was light blue and had the Care Bears on it. My friend had a metal Transformers one I was so jealous of. I later traded in my Care bears for metal one that had Gizmo from Gremlins.
lol at that Aladdin ad. "The new idea people, thermos-wise" - what a specific thing to "brag" about. Don't ask us about any _other_ ideas; we're only focused on thermos'. What liars too, considering they made lunchboxes :P Man, I can't even remember my old plastic lunchboxes from the'90s. I remember that, by high school, I had insulated lunch _bags_ by companies like Igloo, but that's no fun. Also I just had money to buy lunch at that point. Really wish I could recall what lunchboxes I had as a little kid now... I just remember one of them being blue. Maybe it was Spider-Man? I mean, the Fox Kids cartoon was on around then, that lines up. I feel pretty good about that as a guess.
3:414:57 Hey PatmanQC I Love DC Comics® of Superman And Batman Lunch box But Also I Love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles And Also G.I.JOE A Real American Heroes And My Little Pony Both From Hasbro® Toy's Company. Thanks Patrick a.k.a PatmanQC Your Totally Awesome!!!!
Nice little episode! My first one was The Incredible Hulk TV show. Wish I still had it but I remember they didn't hold up too well and would rust out pretty easily.
The Dragon's Lair lunchbox looks cool with a display I haven't seen before for the characters. Cool! Some very nice boxes, thanks! I had a Pac-Man style lunch box as a kid. But then switched to paper bags too. Less to carry back home as the main advantage. But these could be good collectibles. $13,000+ for the Superman box, that's great.
The only Metal Lunch Box I ever had is the "Fallout" themed one, from the Fallout 3 Lunch Box Edition. Still have it sitting on display, with the Vault Boy Bobblehead and some Nuka Cola Caps next to it.
I don't get a chance to comment on every video but I do hit the thumbs up on every video and recommend you I really really enjoy your videos especially the way you present them thank you so much for all your hard work and great editing, I look forward to each and everyone that comes out see you on the next one
My first and only tin one was Land of the Lost, then a plastic E.T. and a plastic M.A.S.K. box. The thermos is still stained with spaghetti Os. I think it still smells like them, but I'm pretty sure all I smell is memories.
I only vaguely remember my first licensed character lunchbox. I think it was either Masters of the Universe (before the Satanic Panic) or Transformers.
1978, mom unsupervised, got me a bee gees lunch box, i pleaded my case against this, to deaf ears. she would not budge, would not return it, and not let me use paper bags instead... mom proclaimed but the cool kids like the bee gees.... ..i did not believe her, that lunch pail got squished, smacked, crunched, i would bowl with it, anything to end its life early..... to this day she says, if you ask her "why mom ...why?" all you get is..."i would never do that to you, i don't remember that..." i really miss my space 1999, Evel Knievel, scooby doo, lunch pails.. ...... the bee gees, oh hell no.
I still have that red Super Mario lunchbox!

You are the one person in the world that could make a documentary about this and make it interesting. Well done!
Excellent, thank you for the compliments
I still have my grey plastic "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" lunchbox. My companion on many school field trips. Great trip down memory lane, Pat!
I've never seen one of those, very cool
I had a Marvel Comics lunch box and loved it. I stopped using a metal lunch box when I braved eating the cafeteria food. Thanks for the memories.

Emulated fashion inspired by wage slaves down to the next generation of wage slaves at the tender years.....🤗

I had the same series of branded boxes you mentioned, but the last one I had was in the 2nd grade, the first ninja turtles lunchbox....
3:08 That is one amazing collection! 👀👀
I had a tin Heathcliff one. I loved that lunch box .

I had a Universal Monsters one that i loved. I remember Peanuts being real popular at my school too.
HOLY CRAP, PatMan!! I had that same SuperFriends lunchbox in kindergarten!! I still remember leaving it at school on the very last day.... :(
Nice little episode! My first one was The Incredible Hulk TV show. Wish I still had it but I remember they didn't hold up too well and would rust out pretty easily.
Yes they did rust really easy. Thanks
Idk why I been missing these videos from this channel

It's insane how expensive some of them are. I thought the dragons one was cool as well and it never seen it before
I still have mine... it is "The Fall Guy". Not a bad show back in the day but the good one's must have been sold out!
I used to watch that show but I haven't seen it since first aired. I seem to recall liking it though
The only Metal Lunch Box I ever had is the "Fallout" themed one, from the Fallout 3 Lunch Box Edition. Still have it sitting on display, with the Vault Boy Bobblehead and some Nuka Cola Caps next to it.
its funny in retrospect, how much "the lunch box fashion police" was a real thing..
I have a metal lunchbox for the anime series Excel Saga. I love that thing.
Amazing. Dave "Batista" Bautista will love this.
God bless, Rev. 21:4

I have the Knight Rider lunchbox, and it does have the thermos in it.
I had Knight Rider, Alf, Thundercats, The Smurfs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Simpsons. I miss these lunch boxes.
I always wanted a Smurfs lunchbox
Great subject , thank you
Glad you liked it!

I used to love the land of the lost. What a great show
My 1st box was ET and I was jealous of the kids with the empire strikes back lunch boxes
ET was pretty popular in my school
I had a rusted Six Million Dollar man one that I used throughout school. Dunno what happened to it, though. Just disappeared over the years.
A friend of mine had one of those
Great idea for a video. How does the thermos know to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? HOW DO IT KNOW?!?!
LOL, exactly
Lunch box are still cool today. 😀👍
Yes they are
I only vaguely remember my first licensed character lunchbox. I think it was either Masters of the Universe (before the Satanic Panic) or Transformers.
I have never seen a Masters of the universe box, very cool
I had aGrendizer lunch box/thermos!
I like this video
Thank you
1978, mom unsupervised, got me a bee gees lunch box, i pleaded my case against this, to deaf ears. she would not budge, would not return it, and not let me use paper bags instead... mom proclaimed but the cool kids like the bee gees....
..i did not believe her, that lunch pail got squished, smacked, crunched, i would bowl with it, anything to end its life early.....
to this day she says, if you ask her "why mom ...why?" all you get is..."i would never do that to you, i don't remember that..."
i really miss my space 1999, Evel Knievel, scooby doo, lunch pails..
...... the bee gees, oh hell no.
LOL, I don't know what would've happened if I would've had a Bee Gees lunchbox LOL. Sometimes parents just don't understand :-)
Watching this... I can smell the sour milk
LOL
I had He-man and G.I. Joe lunchboxes
Excellent
If you dont love Patman Q, I don't care to know you. 😎
LOL, thanks
0:15 this image is both creepy and cringe at the same time. Just like the Brandon's diaries.
Thank you
Thermos's were great till you dropped them ugh
