Let's all raise a glass (or a box, or a squeezy thing, or whatever). Even if you know that the American Academy of Pediatrics advises limiting juice consumption for kiddos, it’s hard to deny the appeal of those cute containers. But we’re a lot more health-conscious than in the 1980s when the lunchbox beverage staple exploded in popularity. I don't know about you, but I kind of like the idea of passing down our favorite childhood memories to subsequent generations - even memories as goofy as the drinks that used to turn our tongues funny color at lunchtime. Juice boxes are as much a part of American childhood as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Apple & Eve 100 Juice Variety Pack (6.75. Remove these items from your carry-on bag to be screened. Arguably the beverage was the most important part of the whole deal, because where else in your lunchtime choices could you let your personality shine through? Each of these distinctive drinks from the '90s could be found in very specific types of lunch boxes: Capri Sun and Sunny Delite in those belonging to the kids who wanted to be skaters Boku in the ones who liked to boast about how grown up they were Squeezits in the ones who were known for being slightly off the wall and so on. Formula, breast milk and juice for babies are allowed in reasonable quantities in carry-on bags.
