"My first lunchbox was Scooby Doo, some time around around 1978? Then I had Garfield at some point.

"The only particularly cute story that I remember about lunch as a kid was the horrible Army-Cheese sticks they used to serve at my elementary school. We were supposed to eat everything they gave us, regardless of whether or not we liked it. It usually wasn't too hard for me, because I was never a picky kid.
