Lunchbox, Huckleberry Hound and His Friends, 1961
Add to SetSummary
The first pictorial lunchboxes, introduced in 1950, featured Hopalong Cassidy. Since then, generations of children have proudly sported pictorial images of their favorite television shows on the sides of their school lunchboxes. Huckleberry Hound's "friends" were those troublemaking bears, Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, and two mice, Pixie and Dixie, who were always trying to outwit the cat Mr. Jinks.
