I remember looking forward to the new lunch box. It was probably the first thing we wanted that matched the latest popular character. Roy Rogers one year. Davy Crockett another. Correct choice was critical. Then came the year when you had to tell Mom the lunch box wasn’t cool, and you wanted a brown bag lunch.

No chips; little chip bags weren’t sold. Might be some cheese and some celery to throw away.
