I always was so excited when I got me some Fruit Roll-Ups! Also: Capri Sun! I felt like if those were in my lunch, I was living super fancy. Usually though, I would have a sandwich and an apple. Or some rice wrapped in seaweed.
Some parents gave their kids' Cheetos. Man, did I want some Cheetos in my lunch! It never happened though...
What lunch item did you covet in your elementary school lunch?

I just ate the school lunch. I liked the tater tots and pot pies. I wouldn't say I covet anything though, lunches weren't particularly great at school. In high school though, I used to go in super early to eat their breakfast corn dogs. They're corn dogs made with a breakfast sausage instead of a hot dog. So good.

I also ate school lunch most of the time. We'd take our rolls, dig out the inside, stuff it with mashed potatoes, and then put a chicken nugget in the middle of that. It needed to have a cool name, but I don't recall if there was one. Anyway, I liked to eat whatever you called that.

I ate school lunch but, when my mom would forget to buy milk for the cereal...we were allowed to have poptarts for breakfast! O man.....that pretty much made my day.
Unfortunately I still love poptarts...a little too much.

I don't remember anything in particular from Elementary, but Jr High and High school I always got a "Taco Bell" bean burrito (they were like frozen and re-heated at the school...), a side of nacho cheese, curly fries, and a soda. And I wonder why I have weight problems... LOL

I always liked it when I got Lunchables for lunch. Also, when I got fruit rollup or Fruit by the Foot.

When I was in elementary school all the cool kids had Lunchables. I was more likely to have a peanut butter sandwich and...those little wieners that come in a can?

Rectangle pizza from school lunch. So good!
We were way too poor to have things like fruit roll ups or gummies, so I found a kid who was obsessed with pickles and got him to trade me for his Gushers. My mom couldn't figure out why I was going through so many pickles. My usual lunch was just a sandwich and apple.

I remember when Kool Aid Kool Bursts came out, they were the best drink to bring! I think another brand made something similar that was equally desirable. Way better than a juice box! Also, Fruit by the Foot and Gushers.

Squeezits and chips!! I used to want both so badly. 
We only got a sandwich and piece of fruit in our lunches. I bought milk at school.

I usually got a packed lunch and always coveted the school lunch!! Especially chocolate milk, fries or chocolate chip cookies...
My HS had the best choc chip cookies... they were so raw in the middle, it tasted like cookie dough, haha!

@chopsuey119: Squeezits! That's what I'm thinking of. Then Kool Aid came out with a similar version. So delish. (Although now the idea is repulsive)

Remember when the pizza Lunchables came out? You could spread the sauce on yourself and add cheese and pepperoni. Those were so much fun! And I loved the Andes mint that came with.

I ate school lunches, but in HS school lunches were awesome. We had chickfila on Mondays, Subway on Tuesdays, Taco Bell on Wednesdays, etc. We also had at our leisure pints of blue bell ice cream, bottles of Dasani flavored water, Otis Spunkmeyer cookies (omg! These are THE best cookies ever, and they were 3 for $1!!), etc. The best part, they deduct the cost from your school lunch account!!
In elementary school, I loved the fruit cocktails, frito pies, and that "plasticy" pizza with ranch. haha! Sounds so gross now, but it was so yummy!

I always wanted stuff like Cheez-its or potato chips. My mom never bought that kind of thing. She did get me stuff like Fruit Roll-ups, Fruit By The Foot, and Gushers. I loved the sour Gushers!

The whole concept of 'school lunch' is weird to me as a Canadian! Kids either packed lunch or went home-I was part of the latter...so I never got any of the cool lunch-box treats! It varied if my mom was home or working, and at one point my dad was able to meet us at home for lunch! Ah the joys of small city living. But when it was my dad, he ALWAYS made Kraft Dinner...which was particularly gross after about 2 years of it 5 days a week!
