Neither. They had a giant Government Spin Machine helping them out.

And they made the classic mistake of believing their own press.

I was a school cafeteria person, so no lunchboxes to remember. Our kids have pretty generic soft-sided ones.

I had a Donny and Marie lunchbox for a while. Then we moved to a district with neighborhood schools, and we all walked home at lunchtime.

It's the 100th anniversary of the worlds first airshow/air contest. Here is a very famous aviation poster for the event: [link]

I had a Cabbage Patch Kids lunchbox, and a Pound Puppies one. Maybe also Care Bears?

I can't remember what my lunch box was. I think it was pink and had a thermos. Switched to brown paper bags pretty quickly, though.

I know my brother had a Hot Wheels lunchbox because my mom used it to hold her good silverware until recently.

Actually, I think not a single word that came out of the Shrub's mouth was his invention. He was a massive sock-puppet.

Which unfortunately begs the speculation "Whose hand?"

(shudder)

I still blame my orange tupperware lunch box for the ridicule i suffered in elementary school! I so wanted a metal lunch box with a thermos like everyone else had. or a paper bag. Plus my mom put Hi-C in the tupperware cup and it did not seal well, so I usually had a soggy sandwich.

It's these little indignities that stick with one, isn't it? On summer swimteam everyone would eat un-made jell-o from the box during meets -- just lick a finger and stick it in. My Mother absolutely refused to let me do it. (And I was entirely too well behaved to score a box of jell-o on my own).

I know we can't afford the right jeans and the right sneakers and all the Hello Kitty pencils and notebooks, but you can't drop your hippie nutrition sensibilities once a week and let me mainline some sugar, artificial color, and protien?

The BBC used the words "feckless lush" relative to Ted Kennedy. Granted it was more along the lines of "he's proven himself to be more than just a feckless lush." But still. Also their coverage is all about Ted Kennedy/Northern Ireland which is interesting to hear from my perspective.
