I got Molly’s lunch when I was a kid even though I didn’t have Molly. I liked the set and thought it suited a modern girl just as well as a girl from the 1940s. Now, I still like it for a modern, but am very pleased to finally have a Molly to give it to. I got this in the early 2000s and believe that it is Version II.
Lunchbox – A+
Molly’s metal lunchbox is bright red with a silver interior, a silver handle, and a latch to keep it shut. Granted, I was an older child when I received it (about 12 years old), but I think it’s pretty sturdy and would hold up well to play. The latch is both secure and easy to use. It’s a nicely made box that seems like it would be able to withstand a lot.
Sandwich – A+
My version comes with half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I’ve always been impressed with AG’s food, and this is no exception. The bread is actually textured and there’s a “crust” side that’s darker and smoother than the rest. It looks like an honest-to-God PB&J. Mine seems to be made of a soft, somewhat bendy plastic.
Pear – A
The pear is well-shaped with detailed yellow-green colouring and the occasional brown spot. It’s definitely a pear! My sole complaint is that the seam is very visible in the plastic. I never noticed it as a kid, but I definitely see it now…and it bugs me.
Cookie – A+
Looks just like a knock-off Oreo! I like the design carved in the top and the ridges around the edge – there’s a lot of detail in this little cookie. It makes me really want an Oreo…
Carrot and Celery – A+
I love the detail in these. Both have lines moulded into them to make them look more realistic, and it’s a touch that makes them stand out. I’m really glad that I don’t have the version that’s clumped together because that would just be kind of lame – I like them as separate pieces. Like the sandwich, they’re pretty bendy.
Napkins A
This might seem a little enthusiastic for paper napkins, but I just adore that they’re like tiny versions of the napkins I had in my lunchbox as a kid. There’s nothing particularly special about them – they’re just napkins – but they look great! I did always wonder why Molly need so many of them.
This is a great addition to Molly’s school collection. My BFF in middle school had the Version I of this lunch set and I remember her food being similar (she didn’t have the lovely hand-moulded stuff – we were just too young for that version!). Molly’s lunch may have been simple, but it certainly looked good. A+
