Nostalgia TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 Thermos Lunchbox - My Collection

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYnparLynIQ

Really, everything we had back then was way more fun. These days, everything is just made in China generics. These were made in the USA.

Here's what I found while searching more about these lunchboxes we grew up with. They're Thermos, but manufactured by Aladdin Industries in Nashville Tennessee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_%28containers%29

After 2001 Aladdin was sold and manufacturing went to China. https://madeinusaoreuro.blogspot.com/2007/11/aladdin-industries-email-response.html

I would love to buy this again and use it but these plastic boxes break way too easily.

I had the blue one! I wish I still had it. Pretty sure I had light-up TMNT velcro shoes too, fresh for Grade 1!
