What lunch box did you have - what was in it?

I must have had more than one along the way, but the only lunch box I can remember had the Harlem Globe Trotters on the side. Not with photos of the team though. They had their own Saturday morning cartoon in the 70's instead. I still think it was "supercool" and wish I still had it. What was inside was not so wonderful. PB&J on pepperridge farm white bread. I still like pb&j but not after its sat in a locker for 3 hours and the jelly has sunk into the bread. Baloney wasn't too good but held up better somehow.

I remember coveting a classmate's Josie and the Pussycats lunch box as well.

old tyme ginger beer

Old Tyme ginger beer is a product of Good-O in the Bronx, NYC. They have a website (www.good-o.com) but it's not for placing orders. I just talked to someone on the phone there and he said they had discontinued the large plastic bottles but were planning to bring back the smaller glass bottles soon. They say they can handle sending out an order of a case but I haven't tried this. It didn't sound like they were really set up for it. (Call them and bug them to make this stuff easier to get!) I also like their Good-O West Indian ginger beer for mixing but it's sweeter and only half as spicy as Old Tyme. No good if you want that heavy ginger kick. It's spicier than ginger ale though. I am going to try the beer distributor idea. I wish I had the space to brew my own.

My mom sometimes put spaghetti in my thermos. People thought it was weird but I liked that better than the sandwiches... I had Snoopy, Peanuts, maybe G I Joe (when she wasn't paying attention and switched mine with my brother's)... I had Sanrio ones as well before Sanrio was cool... bah.

I still have lunchboxes... only now we call 'em bento and I try to put as little food as possible in to them, lol. http://feistybento.blogspot.com :)
