    So, growing up we were super poor…like heat our house with wood 11 siblings and my dad worked for the steelmill poor. So my mom would make our lunch sandwiches with lettuce instead of bread. It was embarrassing at the time but who would have known my mom was ahead of her time. Now people actually PAY to have lettuce instead of bread with their burger…HAHAH

    Anyway I would have to say my favorite thing in my lunch when I was a kid was an apple. Kinda geeky but I still LOVE apples..and we never got junk when I was a kid. Maybe that is why I love junk so much now.

    My family qualified for free hot lunch, so this is what we had to have all through school. And believe me, the hot lunch by us was NOT good, except for a few things that I looked forward to.

Every once in awhile mom would go to the day old bakery store (Hostess) and buy a bunch of pies, cupcakes, etc. I loved the apple pies (and still do) and remember distinctly the one and only time mom slipped a hostess apple pie in my lunch. I felt like a queen. This was 40+ years ago.

  102. Mary says:

    I loooove yogurt! I put a cup in nearly every day.

  103. robin says:

    What a great giveaway! I loved field trip days when I’d get a foil-wrapped soda in the bottom of my lunch bag, which kept the peanut butter sandwich cool as long as it didn’t get the bag wet and fall through the bottom!

    My mom always had my lunch balanced in colors and tastes, for example, if she packed rice and some beef then she sould add some yellow pickles that could go with them so that I didn’t have to eat all dry food only. It looked to e as if she treated my lunch box as her canvas and painting in the lunch box.

    By the way, if I won this, I think I would be most excited about that uncrustables sandwich container (with matching coupons!). Can’t say the rest of the family wouldn’t love the other items more though. I have never seen one of these before. Win or lose, we need one for our daughter’s sandwiches. Where can you get one?

  196. Kathleen says:

    I loved lunchables as a kid. My mom ONLY bought them for special field trips and it was always a welcome surprise!

  197. K. C. says:

    I always had a rather boring lunch in my opinion, sandwich, fruit and drink. But on field trip days, we got a special lunch, with a hostess treat, chips and chocolate milk. Those were my favorite lunches, field trip lunches!

  198. jay says:

    Jello pudding snacks were my fave!

  199. TARA says:

    My favorite lunchbox find when I was a kid was always a note from my mom tied around a special treat…usually licorice. ( : The notes usually weren’t the embarrassing mushy notes but some silly saying or a silly picture she drew. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  200. Leticia says:

    MMMMMM….. Juice Box!!!! Those were the bomb…. I miss those… Would it still be appropriate to have those with lunch at 26??? :)

  201. sarah reno says:

    i would like chips of some sort, that way if i didnt finish them i could sneak them to class and eat them later.

  202. Janet F says:

    Hostess Twinkies or HoHos

  203. Kristen says:

    I thought fruit by the foot was the COOLEST thing ever. ;)

  204. Pamela says:

    I loved the PB&J….i secretly still do , it makes me feel like a kid again

  205. Amanda says:

    My favorite lunch box item was a chocolate cupcake.

  206. - Laina says:

    Ho Ho’s and Ding Dongs – peel off the chocolate, unroll slowly nibble and savor. YUM haven’t had any of these in a long time.

  207. Sarah says:

    My mom’s peanut butter kiss cookies. YUM!

  208. kindra says:

    I used to love peanuts & raisins!

  209. Tyree says:

    My daughter thinks lunchables are the best. I remember getting them twice and thinking I was so lucky. I bought her two as a special treat for her first week back to school (it’s her first year eating lunch at school–1st grade!) They will likely be the only offical lunchables she’ll get this year unless I get a good coupon, but I have lots of crackers stockpiled so we’ll make some of our own. :)

  210. Barbara P says:

    I was a weird child I liked to have a tuna sandwich all day everyday.

  211. Jennifer Ivey says:

    My favorites are still Kudos Bars… if I can ever find them!

    I loved the Kool-aid bursts although they were never in my lunch…my best friend always had them! ;)

  213. Melissa says:

    My favorite was and still is apples with peanut butter! YUMMY!!

  214. Michelle says:

    Since we qualified for free lunch we nearly always had hot lunch so for me those times we had field trips and got to take cold lunch were the best. Didn’t matter to me what was in it or that it was in a paper sack not a fancy lunch box, I always thought it was a great treat. :)

  215. Michelle says:

    I posted the giveaway on Facebook.

  216. ShootingStarsMag says:

    My favorite lunchbox item is pb&J quite honestly. It’s always good.

  217. Sarah P says:

    My favorite lunch item was those individual hostess pies. We only got them for field trips, so it was a special treat, and I always looked forward to it :)

  218. Kristi says:

    My favorite thing in my lunch box as a kids was getting a note from my mom. My kids seem to look forward to this also. My daughter saves my notes too. :) I still enjoy peanut butter and pickle sandwiches till this day. :)

    My fav. lunchbox item was my fraggle rock thermos. Loved it. Oh what memories :-)

  221. geojody says:

    I always loved fruit rollups. I used to wrap them around my finger and eat them. Kind of gross now as an adult, but they were delish and fun as a kid.

  222. kerri says:

    Hostess Twinkies!

  223. Selfish Mom says:

    OK, this WOULD be my favorite if I had one: those plastic holders for bananas so that the bananas don’t get bruised.

  228. Karen says:

    I love putting chips in my kids lunches. It is a special treat and they only get them on rare occasions.

  229. Jaclyn says:

    For the times that I was able to take a lunch to school, I would love to get the lunchables snack packs and cheese and crackers.

  230. Holly says:

    For YEARS, my stepson ate PB&J every single day for lunch – refusing to eat anything else!!

  231. benz1968 says:

    I know I’m going to be repeating thisone but it was applesauce. Loved it ! It was my dessert. I really savored it and took my time swiping small amoounts on my spoon.

  238. Chancy :-) says:

    It seems quite a few people liked the same kinds of smacks as I did, hehe. I loved the oatmeal cookies with the cream filling by Little Debbie…I would eat the filling and then eat the cookies! The only time I can justify eating those now is when I am pregnant, but even then I still feel quilty! :-D
    -Chancy

  239. Virginia says:

  243. Kris says:

    My favorite was getting the Fudge Stripe cookies in my lunchbox and then putting them on my fingers! I also looked forward to lunches on St. Patricks day because my mom would die everything in the lunch green (a sandwich on homemade green bread with green mayonnaise, green water, green cookies…you name it, she did it).

  281. Jill W says:

    I was just talking to a friend the other day that peanut butter and jelly (or peanut butter and butter, yum) sandwiches were in my lunchbox a LOT, and it’s so sad that kids today can’t take them to school anymore because of peanut allergies. They were my favorite!

    My favorite lunch item was Nestle quik in a baggie. We were served only white milk for school lunches (I’m dating myself I guess) & a friend’s mom would pack a few spoonfuls of Nestle chocolate mix in a sandwich bag sealed with a twist tie that she sometimes shared.
