I remember those candies, yes. Most are still around though in some cases the packaging has changed.
As far as cartoons go, growing up in New Mexico the Road Runner was one of my favorites. State bird after all!

I always thought the Roadrunner never looked like the real bird.

Something I just found out today. Did you know that Bea Benederet was the original voice of Betty Rubble from the Flintstones?
Yeah, alright, you're thinking Bea who? Remember Cousin Pearl from the Beverly Hillbillies, or Kate Bradley from Petticoat Junction? THAT Bea Benderet!!!

Remember These???!!!
I had a metal Flintstones lunch box back in the 60s. What year, I can't remember, but it was before I was ten. It was similar to this one as I recall, but I can't remember it exactly. My Brother's lunch box was shaped like an old red barn.

Well Tazmanian (Taz) Devil doesn't look that much like a real Tasmanian Devil lol

 

[Stezza]

I'm guessing that's why they are called cartoons...

Cartoons can be unrealistic, realistic or semi-realistic, so that's not why.

We are each issued an artistic licenses with our first box of crayons (or chalk or whatever medium) you used to make your first drawing. How you use it is up to you.

Just curious. No one had lunch boxes when they were kids?

Yes, but nothing so particular. I remember a red plaid design on mine, with a matching thermos. Only used it one or two years. Then it was brown bags. That didn't last very long. Then it was nothing.

I had several, but no idea what became of any of them. A few might have been worth something if they turned up.

nope, just a paper bag

I had the Flintstones one first, then something happened to it and I got another one. I think it was the Jetsons.

edit: No, no it wasn't. I loooked for a pic of a metal one with the Jetsons and all I could find was a lunch box shaped like my brother's Red Barn up above. But I know it wasn't shaped like that.

Yup. To make matter worse the real bird is a predator not a seed eater. Somehow I still like the cartoon anyway. LOL
