19. My Little Pony Thermos and Lunchbox

In elementary school, I was proud to carry a cool My Little Pony lunchbox. It was cool, square shaped and either bright red or pink in colour, and inside there would always be a delicious sandwich and a thermos which stored my Ribena or Orange squash. It was my life saver at recess after running around playing ‘Cops and Robbers’.

There was also Care Bears, Smurfs, ThunderCats and He-Man in assorted colors and labelled with our names in marker pen. Helped us remember which one belonged to us when we had to leave our cool lunchbox at the back of the class so that we wouldn’t touch it till it was time for break.
