If there was anything cooler than science fiction in the early 1960s, it was the reality of space travel. The Orbit lunch box from Thermos features National Geographic images of the Mercury space capsule with John Glenn at the helm, as well as a launch photo of the Atlas rocket launching from the space pad.
 
Unfortunately, Thermos didn’t get National Geographic’s permission and had to stop making the lunch boxes. Oops! The Smithsonian Museum has one of these on display. One small step for kids, one giant leap for lunchtime.
