If a kid brought this lunchbox to school he would get arrested. Let alone what was in it. Maybe a meatball sub, a bottle of Yohoo and a couple of Yodels. The food police would give you the death penalty.
I lost the lunch box some time ago but when I was walking past the little antiques store on the corner I saw another one. So I bought it.

I had a "Rat Patrol" lunch box. Machine guns mounted on jeeps blowing up Gerries...I don't think so these days.
You really were a "Brownstone Cowboy" Troop.
I had the original Davy Crockett - fighting Indians, killing grizzlies.
I mean shooting stuff with Old Betsy.
Too bad it din't have the Alamo on it.
2 minorities, an endangered species, firearms.
What made America great.
PS Troop, There's a commenter called Wagon Weal elsewhere.
Ever get crossways of him 'cause he sure doesn't like you.
Meade has a lot of sock puppets. I don't worry too much ed. Life is too short.
For the life of me, I can't remember what lunch box I had in the early grades. I do remember that when an option of having a hot lunch, I (ok maybe my mom) went for the hot lunch.
I do remember when I got my first job, I had a black lunch box, with the little thermos on the top. I carried that until the large corporation that I worked for, hired an outside outfit to provide hot meals at work. Couldn't pass it up.
When you are a kid your lunch box was a big thing. There was a competition. I don't know what kids do today. There are so many stories about the teachers confiscating "unacceptable" food that I think I would have been arrested for the contents of my lunch box.
I have a feeling the Bonanza boys ate a lot of quiche and arugula.
Ben, Adam, and Hoss, certainly.
Little Joe, I'm not so sure.
Rat Patrol lunchbox. That's the one!
Every kid's lunch box was destined to get a dent or two, but God help you when you got home if that glass liner in the thermos got broken.
That happened all the time.
I went through the colonel, Roy Rogers (a couple times), can't remember all of them.
I had a Wild Wild West lunch box, the thermos broke about 15 mins after I got it.

Rumor has it that Ben Cartwright actually had 4 more sons, but one night Hoss felt a bit peckish....well, you can guess the rest.
The "Wild Wild West" was a great show. I'm surprised that Troop never spoofed it.
Come on -- I Dare You
You kids in the big cities were rich. We never got TV show lunch boxes. I had a plain Red plaid one.
My mom always gave us sandwiches made from leftovers - chicken, roast beef, etc. We go a lot of Jello too. I don't think they sell that stuff anymore.
The Wild Wild West spoofed itself.
