A LESSON IN THE DANGERS OF SUCCUMBING TO PEER PRESSURE
When the author of this tip was a young lad, his mom went out and
bought him a Munsters lunchbox--for which he absorbed constant
ridicule from his trendier first-grade friends, who themselves toted
their daily PB&Js in boxes and Thermos adorned with more popular TV
and cartoon characters like Superman, Batman, Barbie, the
Cartwrights, and so on. Tired of the abuse and a tad peeved at Mom
(from whom he had requested a Major League Baseball lunchbox with a
built-in baseball game), the author spent entire bus rides to and
from school kicking Herman, Lily, Grandpa and Eddie's bas-relief
faces (not Marilyn's, though--it didn't seem right to kick the only
human in the family) until the lunchbox that bore them was so dented
and disfigured that even Mom decided it was time for a paper bag.
Fast forward to this week, when the same author learned that that
same Munsters lunchbox today goes for around $200 (probably because
they're so rare, probably because most kids who had them destroyed
them for the same reason). All this to say that you can see what
other favorite lunchboxes looked like--and what some of them are
worth--at Angel's, Apes and Dirk Benedict: A pictorial of some cool
lunchboxes from our youth:
