About This Quiz

For this quiz, we're going to go dancing all the way back to the '80s! More specifically, we're going to take a trip back to your school's lunchroom and figure out which '80s retro lunchbox you toted with you every day. Were you more likely to drink your Tang out of Rainbow Brite thermos or have your milk out of an A-Team water bottle? We have to know!

In order to determine which lunchbox you prized back then, we're going to have to figure out a few things about you. We'll want to know what kind of student you were, how you viewed yourself, and which of those traits remains to this day. Only when we know you as well as we know the words to Wham!'s first album will we be able to accurate guess if you carried the Force with you, or if you needed Winnie The Pooh to get you through the long school days. 

Jump in our '80s time machine and we'll figure out which lunchbox you wish you still had today. Once you know, you can go online and find it again. At least, you'll be able to find a new replacement that all your coworkers will envy!
