I grew up in the '70s and carried a Peanuts lunch box until I reached 4th grade and became too 'cool' for a box and started taking the classic brown bag. Mom always packed a sandwich (PB&J or lunchmeat with cheese), a piece of whole fruit, and a 'treat,' usually homemade cookies or you really 'scored' if the treat was a pudding cup (remember when they were metal with a pull-top?) or a Twinkie or King Don. Don't remember using the Thermos much. Bought milk, 3 cents for white milk, 5 cents for chocolate. What did you have?
