40 Memes Which Roll Back Time To The Good Old-Fashioned Past, As Posted By This Instagram Account

I was about 6 when I opened my Angel Tree present and received the AUTHENTIC Crayola 256 Box Set (I knew how much it cost, something like $25) and not 1, not 2, not even 5, but 10 whole coloring books all for just me! My parents swear they thought I had won the lottery!

These are still around! Last Christmas I bought one for my husband and one for my daughter (and one for myself).

my favorite snack

And wherever they're all at, I guarantee most of them still work

Why are you doing this to us?

Aren't those Tiddly Winks?

I DID!

I don't know if I can throw mine away. It's like saying good bye to a faithful friend. When Spotify is down or my music is so obsolete that it doesn't exist in digital form, my faithful compact disc's will always be there to sing to me. Now, I just don't know what to play them on...

My favorite movie growing up!

I remember listening to conversations on a party-line, 😆

I had this scratch and sniff one that I was really proud of

And there were these extra curricular teachers that would hand them out if you did good or smth like that

of blurry pictures. Remember flash cubes?

My entire life is a lie.

The circling was fun

i can hear the sound of the plastic UUGHHHH

I had the clear phone in my room, and the ringer was LOUD! I would turn off the ringer and it would still light up when it rang, so my friends could call me late at night and not wake up my parents (I had my own phone line in my room paid for by my babysitting money).

And peeling your legs off the pleather seats.

"you are old", ouch

I kinda want to eat this rn

Ah, Tales From The Crypt, one of the good ones.

Ours were metal

I'm 43 years old and I take my metal "Yellow Submarine" lunch box to work every day 😁

Those are PLASTIC!!! WE had metal lunch boxes with an included thermas!!!

For the year? I used the same Ewoks box until 1990!

Bought so many!

I didn't eat lunch very often. I have a Garfield lunchbox now though, and it even has a thermos.

My former boss/mentor gave me a hot pink Minnie Mouse lunch box (with matching thermos) for my birthday one year. In the card he had written "Just a reminder to never take yourself too seriously". I used that thing until it died. I still miss that guy!

I had the My little Pony one

Me and my sisters always had the tartan plaid metal lunch boxes.

And the matching thermos that leaked, destroying your PB&J. Sad times.

I had a paper bag with that lousy bologna/cheese sammich

i have the yellow care bears one!! i keep all my hand poke tattooing supplies in there

Paper bag...

Mine were metal.

I'm so old my lunch boxes were metal.

The first year my son wanted a paper bag instead, I knew he was growing up. I was heartbroken!

Back when MLP still looked like actual horses

I had a Beetlejuice one (cartoon version). Loved it!

And the matching school bag.

This actually depressed me as it meant the summer holidays were coming to a close?!

You know you’re actually an 80s kid when that lunchbox was metal and not plastic. The higher end ones, made by Thermos, with the mini thermos.

Up vote to the ones that put acdc tapes on their teddy ruxpin!

I had Heathcliff because our family was poor and my mom took us late and I was embarrassed about it. That was 1982 and I still remember it all.

I had a metal pac man box

Mine was S.W.A.T before Star Wars. My PE teacher had Pigs in Space

yass!

I always wanted a super cool lunch box like these! All I ever got were small paper bags that we also used for cleaning the cat's litter box. We would even reuse them multiple times (as long as they were only previously used for lunches, of course). This is what happens when your mom is raised by someone who lived through the Great Depression. #frugal

Holly Hobby- the metal one!

WITH THE MATCHING THERMOS!!!!

For the year??? I had to pick a generic one in 1st grade, and that was going to be my lunch box for the next 12 years

I still have that My Little Pony lunchbox.

Wonder what my Lone Ranger lunchbox would be worth now if Mom hadn't tossed it?

Dropped the accompanying thermos once in the 60's, inside shattered into a million pieces

I’m kinda bummed. My brother and I never got one of these cool lunchboxes growing up, we just had the standard brown paper bag. But my mom would write a message on the brown paper bag to make it more special. Come to think of it, I really wish I was smart back then, and kept the sacks. 🫤

Lol, we never could afford a new one every year. Had to use it to death and never got licenced ones.
