Lunchbox, Soupy Sales, 1965

01

Artifact Overview

This vinyl lunchbox was rushed into production when Soupy Sales reached the height of his popularity in 1964. Available to buy in January 1965, Soupy Sales was in the headlines (and also in trouble with the network) for a "stunt" he pulled, asking kids to send him "those little green pieces of paper" from their parents' wallets.
